Good news v. bad news

Bad news: I am working way too much, I am falling behind in school, and I am really out of shape, because there is not a lot of extra time to go to the gym.

Good news: I got a raise, I get a week off at Christmas, and Brock comes back from TO on Saturday night.

One down, two to go

I’m sitting in my hotel room in Lethbridge, it’s almost midnight, I’m going on about five hours of sleep and no dinner, and I have to be up early again tomorrow morning to go to Calgary. My company is hosting a massive celebration and lecture in Lethbridge, Calgary, and Edmonton back-to-back. If you’ve ever planned a relatively large event, you know this is suicide. I’m completely burnt out and we still have two events (400 guests at each) to go and about 500 more kilometers to travel. Oh, and to top it all off, I burnt my tongue on a hot water that was supposed to be a Tim’s hot chocolate, I got stuck in downtown Calgary’s rush hour, my hotel lost my company’s account into, and I forgot my toothbrush. Lin and Lace, we better bring the wine out this weekend!

Trip cancelled

I'm no longer going to Kananaskis this weekend. Does anyone want to hang out?

Free TV

The last few months I've been pondering over the idea of buying cable. It would be really nice to have something other than Global or CBC to watch in the mornings or at dinner time, but that $50/month could also be used on so many other things, like clothes or part of a trip to Disney World. But today I was introduced to this really cool website that allows you to watch most TV channels for free. For those of you who can't afford cable or are just to cheep, check out www.tvunetworks.com.

Busy, busy

I am heading into two of the busiest work weeks of the year. Tuesday and Wednesday are prep days for the rest. Thursday I leave for Calgary, then to Kananaskis for the Science Council Conference. I will be working from Kananaskis until Saturday, then I head back to Edmonton for a girlfriend's stagette. Early Tuesday morning I head back south, but this time to Lethbridge, then to Calgary on Wednesday, then back to Edmonton on Thursday...but I have to work until 10 p.m. I'm thinking about taking next Friday off...maybe it would be a good idea.
