I decided not to be as ambitious as I thought I would be when posting last week.... I didn't end up getting the top coat done. I probably won't do it this weekend either. Oh well! Last Saturday when Sam got home from work he invited me to go meet some friends of his from work at the pub on campus, "the cellar". We had a really nice evening. We split 2 pitchers of beer and Sam bought a 3rd for some reason, but right after he bought it everyone decided it was time to head home (it was just before 3am, Sam probably didn't realize how late it was), so we didn't drink very much of the 3rd. We live really close to the Cellar, we walked both ways....I haven't been there for a couple of years and forgot that it was so close. We went to the Coffee Mill for steak and eggs on Sunday when we got up, it was really nice. Monday went by fairly quickly (for a monday), and on Tuesday I had been chosen (as well as 3 other people) to represent the Terasen employees to suggest ways to improve employee satisfaction. Everyone had filled out an employee engagement survey and we all discussed the results and areas that showd a need for improvement. It was really nice to get off the phones for an hour. After that meeting I had my lunch and then a team meeting (that got me off the phones for another 45mins!). Wednesday was busy, so the day went by fast and yesterday was my last day of work....so it really doesn't matter what happens....I have my weekend to look forward to! Today I got up and walked down the hill to drop Gizmo off at the groomers around 9:30am (she looks beautiful!) and went to Kings place and got a egg mcmuffin, hash brown and coffee. It was only 4$. I bought a scratch ticket and wandered around there for awhile before the groomer called and told me Gizmo was done. I sauntered myself back up york st towards the groomers and while passing the vets office I stopped in to pick up some dog food for Gizmo (why miss the opportunity? ;) ...it's usually out of my way to buy it). I walked to the groomers (carrying a big bag of dog food, I may have looked kinda silly...hmmm..) and got to the groomers, paid and called a cab. I got home at 12pm, usually I'm still in my p.j's on my days off. I've been able to do 2 loads of laundry and make the bed! Last night when I got home (just before 11pm) I had this *crazy* craving for pizza, so I ordered some kind of deal at Pizza delight and got 2 12" pizza's and a 12" garlic fingers. We have lots of leftovers. Sam got his first two week pay today, so he is going to treat us out tonight or tomorrow night. He's doing very well at Jungle Jims. All the other employees are always saying how great Sam does compared to their slack and lazy kitchen manager. Sam figures he won't need to say anything about wanting the manager job (b/c everyone else already tells the owner/restaurant manager). It's nice b/c he gets lots of hours and he still gets off at a reasonable hour. He worked 9am until 9pm on Wednesday (b/c someone had called in sick or didn't show up) and the manager bought Sam 3 beer as a thank you. I think I will go get some of that left over pizza....mmm...pizzaaa... :)
