It's in the mail

The nursing student in me cries to get up from the computer, but the creative monster in me can't stop typing.

Buyer's Remorse and the changing of the guard

I hate buyers remorse. I am a buyer. I am a good person to shop with as I tend to be able to say to other people "Don't you already have a pair of shorts very similar?" or "Yeah, it's cute, but how many times are really going to wear it?" This seems to be something I cannot accomplish for myself. I try. I hold up the little green sun hat and think "hmmmm... when will I ever wear this?" but the truth is I will wear it. In the summer. I got my scrubs today and I must say... I make a pretty cute nurse! Once I get a picture of myself playing nurse I will post it ASAP.

Curves changed the leg press and it really is terrible. I absolutely hate it, but tried really hard not say anything out loud. I tried looking at the stepper to see where it was apparently leaking from, but then I remembered, I don't work there anymore, and squeaky machines are not my problem. So I stood up and smiled at Sandy and said as much. She laughed. Funny how things take time to change.
I also have to say this has been the most unproductive reading week ever. The most research I have done (besides applying for 6 more jobs) is to find out who is going on strike and when. Apparently Mohawk is only 68% in favour of striking, but overall, OPSEU is 80.4% in favour. The strike deadline is March 8th and I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I don't want them to strike for obvious reasons - I don't want to miss school, they should get what they want because they deserve it, etc. On the other hand however, if they strike March 8th I will miss no school while I am in Las Vegas... So yes, part of me is horribly selfish... I certainly don't want the strike to last longer than 6 days!! That would really suck!

Ahhhhhh Las Vegas. Seems to be getting closer now... Maybe that whole lottery thingy I complain about will happen right before then...
