My First Car!
Filed Under Work, cars, relationships, weird | 4 Comments
Along with all of my previously mentioned exciting news, I totally forgot something! I bought my first very own car on Tuesday. I’ve been driving since I was 16 but somehow have never needed my own car until now, I was always able to use extra cars of my parents. Not anymore. It may be a little old, it may have a lot of km’s on it, it may have a little rust spot, but it is ALL MINE. My friend Dane helped me to find it and came with me to test drive it and everything. It belonged to his friend’s dad who took amazing care of it. It is so clean on the inside you’d think it was brand new. So exciting! I am no longer driving around in a car with a liscence plate that says THANKSDAD, and no longer have to feel like I am the laughingstock of the road.
My co-worker Karen sent me this cartoon the other day at work (we send each other Savage Chicken cartoons daily, not really sure why, but it has turned into an office ritual for a few of us). I personally think it is hilarious! Mostly because I always ask her if she has read my blog… and because the joke’s on her because she does read it every day! HI KAREN!!!!
Messed up boyfriend quote of the day:
Kent: “I love you, Maeve Binchy.”
Micaela: “…That’s not my name. That’s an author…”
Kent: “I know, but it sounds like your name.”
Kent and Micaela: “Miiiiicccaaaaeeeeeellllaaaa Boooonnnnnjjjjaaayyyyy” “Maaaaaaeeeevvvvvveeeee Biiinnnccchhhhhyyyy” *repeat for about 5 minutes*

Whoops!

So yesterday something silly happened to me…
At work I felt as though the day was crawling by, nothing too abnormal for me though. At 1:40PM I called my cousin’s work to sign up for a Yoga class, but no one answered and their machine said that they work M W F, 10AM-2PM, I thought it was weird that no one answered, but let it go and decided to try again on Friday. As 5 o’clock neared I noticed that it seemed to be getting very dark! Finally 5 o’clock arrived! I changed into my barn clothes to drive to the barn and do chores and jumped in the car and started driving. Then I looked at the clock… 6PM! What the heck? No wonder my day took forever, I was at work for 9 hours instead of 8! I actually had to say to myself, 9-5 to remind me that I normally work until 5PM and not 6PM. My computer at work had somehow during the day reverted back 1 hour, how that happens I have no idea, and I know that when I started work that day it said 9am. Plus I checked the clock this morning to make sure I wasn’t crazy, and it said 8am, when it was really 9am. Let’s just say I’ve been checking my watch a lot today..
Needless to say on Friday I will be leaving work an hour early.. Silly silly me.

Not feeling inspired…
Filed Under Work, life, personal | 3 Comments
The title of this post sums up my feelings lately. Mostly I’ve been really tired which was probably my body’s way of telling me that I was getting sick and now I have a full blown cold. Yuck. Why is it that people always get colds when the seasons change? I love when the season’s change, because by the end of each season I am always ready for a change. And especially this season because with the weather changing to fall it means that the wedding becomes closer (32 days!). Not feeling inspired was also my reason for not writting in the blog lately. I just don’t have anything interesting to say, so I decided to not say anything at all.
Also I am not feeling very inspired at work. There are no challenges here, as I sit and wait for agents to come in and give me work to do. And that gets me to thinking about how long I should stick it out in this job for. It is fairly well paying for a job fresh out of University but as my Aunt described the way I was feeling the best, while I was talking to her on the weekend. She said: “You are just getting out of University and you need to be challenged and learn new things” She said that my job seems like a job for someone who is slowing down in their career and I would agree with her. What to do What to do.

On the To-Do List: Just Keep Up
Filed Under Work, erica, health, internet, life, love, money, personal, relationships, thoughts, university | 1 Comment
I’ve been quiet lately. For good reason: I’m both exceedingly tired and exceedingly busy!
Last week marked the beginning of my last ever school year. Well, school half-year. Or, technically, half of a half school year. Anyway, I’m taking 3 evening classes (each worth a half-credit) so I can finally get that darn piece of paper indicating that I am a university graduate. I survived.
Unfortunately, these evening classes coupled with work are draining my reserves. My week starts out like this:
10-6 work; 7-10 class.
This is my Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday schedule until December.
When you think about it, December really isn’t that far away. This means that I’ll only have the time from now until December to keep up with an increasing workload, reading for 3 classes, assignments for said classes, and study for various tests and exams. Not to mention the other things going on, such as my dwindling social life, and the fact that the new seasons of Grey’s Anatomy and The Office start next week. Thankfully, on Thursdays.
