Here’s an entry I wrote earlier today:

”
So I’m sitting here on the train. I’m returning home from my less-than-24-hour trip to Ottawa.
It was great. (sarcasm.)
Actually I *almost* had a freak out on way here.
I was sitting doing work and then someone sat beside me (*gasp! The audacity!) and then they served our meal. (I’m in first class! Woohoo!)
I actually have a lot of work to do, so I was sitting there with my meal in front of me, completely without an appetite and trying to telepathically tell the servers to remove my tray so I could open up my laptop and get back to work.
After the meal (but before they removed the tray) they came by with a tray of chocolate treats for us to choose from and I refused. (Crazy!! …I tell you, I was almost freaking out!)

Anyways, they eventually removed the tray (it seemed like the entire meal took an hour minimum!!) and I was able to get back to work.

So I now have a bit more perspective on the whole ‘workload’ issue. (“perspective”= “apathy”?) and I’m able to laugh about the whole thing.
Thankfully.

My ride home has been less stressful, though surprisingly, more full of work! I’m actually taking a break right now because my eyes have begun to glaze over from the look of spreadsheets.
I was going to take a nap, but I realized it’s not even 9pm and I shouldn’t be tired.
maybe it’s all the booze. …have I mentiozed that there’s free alcohol on first class?!!

Speaking of first class, they have these AMAZING chips that I’m going to have to find in T.O. They taste like sundried tomatoes, and they’re made of potatoes, tomatoes and spinach.
“Yuck!”
They taste fairly salty too, but the sodium content is only 5% of the day’s recommended intake, so that’s good.

Anyways,
I’m listening to Guy Sebastian right now. His “Closer to the Sun” album reminds me of church. And zipcar!
(I’ve been listening to his album every Sunday morning for the past few weeks.)

speaking of Zipcar,
last Sunday I arrived at the parking lot and my car wasn’t there! (brutal!)
So I called the ZipCar Hotline (they don’t call it that) and the lady set me up with a mini cooper for the price of the car I originally intended on renting! Sweeet!

It was super small. (my head almost touched the ceiling!) The Smartcar actually felt more roomy then the Mini Coop. crazy.

Anyways, the mini coop was not within close walking distance to my location so I had to hail a cab to take me to the parking lot – and zipcar is covering the cost of the taxi!!

I kinda feel bad for the person who didn’t return the car on time. Late fees start at $30. And I bet Zipcar will charge them not only for my taxi and for the discount that I received, but probably a big processing fee as well!

Anyways, this has been a nice break.
Now back to work!

Here’s a video of Guy:

mmm Aussie pop.
