Update

So, I've been told that I needed to update more often - where my last blog was July 13, it's only been 18 days.

I'm now in the stages of looking for another job - knowing that this one will eventually end in 2.5 months. It would be super nice if I could stay in the government.

A lot has happened since the 13th such as :

1. A few nights over in the hot tub/bbq - checking out the tropical fish (including the fascinating seahorse, and blue starfish - that I can never seem to find)

2. Moving-out inspection - I was worried about this one, never knowing how picky landlords can be, but everything turned out to be ok (sicne they didn't turn on the kitchen faucet)

3. Packing, and more packing - I'm soon running out of boxes, and have barely even starting packing - I have a lot of junk, but I can't get rid of anything - not because I won't, but because I need them

4. Joining a gym - I'm surprised myself. The first time I went was to an intense BodyPump class at Goodlife and I swear people thought I was a cripple for the whole week after, someone even asked me if I had a limp. I was unable to walk down the stairs, and it took a while to get out of a chair. But it didn't stop me from returning, so I went to my second BodyPump class yesterday and found it much easier (the last time I wanted to shoot the trainer). Now it's Will's turn to visit the BodyPump for the first time!! We'll see how he does! It's not like he's never worked out or been to the gym before. But this class is quite intense, and he's never been to a class.

5. Pick-up game of soccer - playing with nobody that I know (except Will & Steph), but Will only knew one other person - the rest were all her friends. We played in Kanata and I think they are all like 18yrs old. Steph was quite the intense player, more than I expected, she got knocked down a couple times, and I never held back to push her out of the way to get to the ball (I was not on the same team as Steph and Will), and then my many failed attempts to block a shot against Will (who knows why I even tried), but I think with going to the gym and playing that really exhausted me today at work.

It's nice when people are on holidays - - less traffic, less people on the bus, less noise in the office

Today, on the bus there was a bottle of some cleaning product hanging from the top rail overtop of someone, and some people were pointing it out and making fun of the fact that it was left there, but did nothing about it. Some guy who overheard their talking, got up and picked up the bottle and set it down on a seat beside him knowing it wasn't right for the bottle to be there, hanging over someone's head. Why do people notice things that are wrong, but do nothing about it?

Hopefully that's updated enough. Don't hold your breath for the next one (Jennifer)
