I think back to 2004-2005 where I blogged almost every day for your reading pleasure, my life got increasingly busy as the months flew by yet I did not stop writing. Fast forward a few years, different people in my life but yet, I don’t write. I think I broke my funny bone. The quality of my writing has declined and don’t get me wrong, I still do retarded things which are worthy of a read but the quantity has decreased making me wonder if I should still continue to write the rest of the dribble. I guess I’m still writing and perhaps you are still reading so onward I go.
I had to take a look at my last post to see where I left off. Late April. Not a happy time period at all. May….do I even remember May? Moving to Yaletown was a bit of a disaster with the move in part and getting comfortable living with two roomies opposed to one. Earth Day was kinda cool. Geez I can’t remember what else I did in May. Spent insane amounts of time with my then boyfriend Clayton who is no longer my bf. We took a trip to Gibsons which was really cool (my 2nd time there) and I wish to go back but I have this thing against taking 2nd trips with other people, kinda ruins the memories of the first.
June has been a blur as well (my short term memory is declining as I creep into old age). I was not too happy at work cause I didn’t have a lot of accounts and the days were super long at work. Luckily a decision was made to transfer me into a new group and I got a new boss who is awesome. I receive a ton more accounts and now finally feel I am in the swing of things
Aside from work, I had MAJOR roomie drama. I had the lovely experience of living with two ‘new to the country’ Kiwi’s who thought it was perfectly acceptable to ignore any rules of the house they both agreed to as well as leave the province and not return to deal with their end of tenancy obligations. Not to mention they pawned that duty off to a complete stranger and then demanded that I pay her their damage deposit in cash. Sorry dudes, we don’t work that way here. Too many scammers and I’m not going to put myself in a situation where I have to fork out $1000. So I’m happy to say that I dealt with that and they are completely out of the suite.
Now the second phase is to find a nice roomie to move back in….I thought it would be easy. Gorgeous building, gorgeous view, wicked roomie. But apparently I’m the only one that thinks the rent is affordable and the location is great? I’ve had a few people come and look at the suite and they all agree it’s perfect but a) it doesn’t have free parking b) doesn’t allow more than 1 cat etc etc. I thought for sure last week I had a roomie who agreed to move in and sent him the paperwork but I can’t get a hold of him via email and phone so I decided to repost the ad to cover my ass. $2k is a lot of money to dish out for rent in one month! I hope there is a good reason he’s MIA.
Aside from that, it’s 11am and I am still puttering about, staring at my long list of things to do wishing they’d just do themselves. There is always sunday…(sigh) I haven’t really allowed myself to have a weekend of ‘nothing’ since this last crazy emotional week. Probably cause I think sitting around doing SFA is a waste of time and I need to keep busy. I’m going to fight that emotion and go have a bubble bath.
So that’s my update for now, nothing too exciting I’m afriad. Hope there are better posts to come…
