A week in review

This past week at work as been a whirlwind. So much to look after, with only two weeks until the wrap party and the big in studio move. Having Halloween come on Friday sure didnt help anything, and I'm sure I'm behind because of it. I did scare a good number of people at work though, even *after* they figured out it was me...

Also! I got my contract extended until Feb 13! So at least I dont have to worry until that time, and we will see what goes down until then! Still dont know what my thoughts/feelings are about leaving soon after being made full time, which will have to happen when this contract ends, as they have rules about being contract for more than a year, and that will have me two weeks over a year!

Came home friday night after work, and marvelled at how many damn fireworks were set off during the course of the evening. For a while there, it was like an entire crate was lined up down my street cause the noise kept going for 7 min solid. And then just big bursts here and there for the next few hours. Thanks for that Vancouver. Calgary certainly does not do fireworks for Halloween....

If you havent seen the post below already, I had my first sit on the top of my arm yesterday with Steve Moore. I havent had just line work done for years, there has always been colour or shading worked in as well, so this is nice. It will all be healed in a few days! But because of this, we only wrapped it in saranwrap. So! At about 530 am, I woke up and was only aware of the crinkle noise of said saran, and was aware that the vaseline-ish stuff on my arm was now going to get on my sheets, as said saran was moving about. I tried to sleep being still, but at 630 am I gave up and had a shower to wash it all off.

After this, I forgot that it was daylight savings time here, so I thought I slept in past a breakfast date with Shauna and her son. Luckily it all worked out and breakfast was had and enjoyed, despite the hag of a woman who kept trying to signal to Shauna to take Brodie outside because he was shrieking every here and there. Sorry lady, its a family restaurant, so deal with it. You try reasoning with a 16 month old. It's not like we were ignoring him and letting him scream. Some people! She probably needs to get laid more...

This afternoon now, has been spent napping. I think laundry is in order, and maybe some vegging out time on the couch. Yes, that sounds nice.

I leave you with a shot of my costume from yesterday. Its not a full shot, so you are missing the sexier part of it, but you get the idea of why everyone was so scared/disturbed!

I said it once and I'll say it again. I love that costume. I kind of want to steal the white mask idea for next year. Black suit, white mask, sledgehammer (I'm more about brute force weapons)

Also, you'll hate me for telling you this, but I baked 3 loaves of banana bread today (as well as 2 pumpkin pies and 2 loaves of rustic artisinal bread). My apartment is disgustingly hot right now.

and steal the mask thing. i took it from a lady at my office years ago. hers looked more like a frog face, but all white. and she was able to get in and out of costume all day so we never knew it was her til the end..
