I like tea time at work. I get to gorge on chocolate. Mmm pimples.

Oh god I have such a headache... and I can't take any painkillers.

CBC weather is such a cock-tease. -10C today my ass. I was so looking forward to milder temperatures but I was greeted this morning with arctic hell.

Still no word on the bus strike. No one seems to think it'll actually happen. It's an election year and it's Winterlude. A bus strike right now would go over like a lead balloon come election time, and our new mayor is too slimey to let that happen.

Blah. Time to light myself on fire.

Edit: The water is off in our building. I HATE this building! God I can't wait to move, we are getting ripped off SO badly for this piece of shit condo.

Superbowl.

Yay.

I love football, but this year I just can't seem to get excited for the Superbowl. It could be because I despise the two teams playing. It could also be because I have bigger things on my mind.

Pardon the pun.

I found my pillow! It's approximately 5 feet long by 2 feet wide. It's SO comfy! It's big enough that I could paint a face on it and have a very satisfying date. I may yet do that.

My boss is in town this week. This is significant because he lives in Amsterdam. I've been doing my own work for a few weeks now, and it'll be good to touch base with him face to face on my progress. I'd like to think I'm catching on fast enough...

OCTranspo is set to go on strike this Wednesday. I weep openly. I've been trying to set up ride sharing at work, and it's worked out well, but it still scares me. I hate depending on others. Every winter I think "it's time for me to buy a car" and every winter I put it off. If that strike goes on, I may yet buy a set of wheels.

I gave up two $110 Ottawa Senators tickets today because I didn't want to tempt my immune system before surgery. I hope they found a good home.

Oh yah, TGIF! It's Superbowl weekend! Shame I can't stand either team that's playing. Oh well. At least it's an excuse to gorge on nachos.

I have a few items on my surgery To Get list left to pick up tomorrow. Anyone know where you can find a 4'x4' pillow?

It was -25C today, after windchill.

This felt like a balmy tropical day in comparison to what we've been dealing with for the past week.

God, I can't WAIT for summer.

It's apparently a Scottish holiday today, so we had haggis and whisky at work. I really liked haggis. Next time I go to the Highlander pub downtown I'm going to order it. Mmmm... random meat parts.

You can't feed the homeless in Santa Monica? WTF?

Some politicians need to be sterilized for the good of the human race.

I think I'm getting sick. I blame the cold.

If I am not better in 2.5 weeks, someone will die.

That is all.

I'm an outcast. I always have been, and I really can't imagine that it's going to change anytime soon. I'm weird. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. This usually makes me very sad, but occasionally I can see a silver lining:

I CAN DO WHAT EVER I WANT.

And by this I mean: no matter what I do, people can't possibly think less of me on a personal level. I'm at the bottom of the barrel already! While this usually just means that I'm terribly lonely and unhappy, it also grants me a freedom to really do what I want with myself. I could carve a star into my forhead and people's opinions wouldn't really change at all - I'd still be the grotesque and awkward freak that I am now, just a little more grotesque. The funny places you find freedom huh?

Holy Murphy is it cold out. -7.6C, but -25C after windchill. I'd walk for 20-30 feet at a time unable to inhale. Retarded. I can't wait for summer, particularly now that I have to walk ~20 minutes to and from my bus stops every day. Of course, in the summer I'll bake instead. Nothing quite like living in a place that experiences +/-80C temperature differences over the course of a year.

Well, my first week of work at IBM is done, and I think it was positive. I've been given some interesting projects and a good heap of responsibility, which I am happy for.

And now I take over the world. Or at least the J hallway.

GUH. My doctor practices surgery in a town that's 45km outside of Ottawa. Looks like I have a pair of $70 cab rides ahead of me. Jesus fuck. See if I had friends, I might be able to say "hey, can I ask you for a big favour?" but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I forgot how hard it was adjusting to a new job. I'm pooped and my days have been pretty darn easy so far. I should be feeling 'normal' in a few days. When I'm walking the halls there it doesn't quite feel real - like I'm not really an employee yet. Soon...

So, today was my first day at work.

I got fired.

No no! Just kidding! It went well. A bit chaotic, but most first days are.

Also, I forced myself to watch Joe Millionaire. I HATE reality TV shows, but there is just something so sweet about 20 shallow cunts getting embarrassed on national TV that I can't turn down.

Yesterday was eventful. I won't go into detail just yet on one of the events, but the other was seeing The Two Towers. It was a good movie, but not as good as the first in my opinion. The one shining point for me was Gollum. He was AMAZING. I've never felt such pity and empathy for a movie character before. Whoever is responsible for him deserves some serious accolades.

Also, if anyone ever asks me "Hey, why don't we go eat at Montana's Cookhouse Saloon?" I will kill them post haste. They're obviously mad and beyond redemption. Guh. I ate there yesterday. Worst. Meal. Ever.
