Hi there Intrawebz.
Craig here.
All I have is one question. When did "boring" become the new awesome? Cause man, I'm spending my friday night before hallowe'en sitting at home, listening to Bach, planning on watching Grey's Anatomy, and eating lovely lovely LOVELY Pocky which I discovered at the T&T market at West Edmonton Mall. Man, I love this stuff. So awesome and full of wonderfulness. And apparently short sentences. Ah well, better than my usual run on, long-winded, exasperatedly ridiculous ones. I wish Rachel would take my advice about writing though. And I hope she starts writing songs again, it would be fun to do one with her. Maybe she will after reading this, who knows? hahaha. Either that, or I might record something with her brother the next time we meet. More bonding time with the young'un. I feel he'd like that, but we'll see. Speaking of brothers, I'd love for my lil' bro to come out and visit, but I doubt that it'll be possible, judging by how much he's working now/with his plan to go to school in September, he'll need to wrap his head around it. Plus, I work so much I dunno if he'd have much fun out here anyways. Ah well, we'll figure something out. Whilst on the topic of familial visits, my mum has a few days vacation left that she needs to use up before the end of the year, and so she might come out to visit around Christmastime. Which will be really nice, because as much as I enjoy visiting with Rachel's family, they're not MY family. Feeling slightly, not home-sick per se, but family sick. I'd love to see Ross and Vicky (my older brother and his girlfriend) before they go to New Zealand for however long. Not to mention, I saw that Ian got his brand-new King Size mattress delivered the other day. Ah well, I knew it would hit me at some point. And my friend Elisa has decided that she's going to come visit in February, for reading week. So it'll be somewhat nice to have a bit of a High School connection again. But I think what I'm most looking forward to is getting my wireless connection set up on the 10th. Because then I'll be able to game with Dan and the guys from BB in South Surrey. That'll be the most fun. I wouldn't mind having a wicked game of Reach with Dan and Andrew soon. Maybe we'll get Brett involved, but I dunno, we might kill his innocence, and make Dan feel like a geezer. Reach, Starcraft 2 and (eventually) Fable 3 shall consume my gaming life which should return on the 10th of November. We shall see.
Work is going well these days, and this is my first weekend "flying solo". Meaning that I'm in charge of the department whist the real supervisor has a few days off. Hopefully it won't be nearly as much of a disaster as today was. Returns, angry customers, and a couple managers who don't like to communicate create a wonderful environment for newly appointed Senior Craig. It's still fun though, and it looks like the guys are starting to see me in more of an in charge role, which is nice. I'm especially getting along well with a few of the guys, while I'm starting to tire of a few. Hopefully with all the new hires for the Christmas season we'll get some new faces and be able to get more coverage for the days so we're not running around like chickens with our heads' cut off.
I haven't blogged for awhile, and so am a little out of practice, so hopefully I'll get a little bit more into the habit in the next little while. It's nice to sit down and decompress slightly, especially now that I've stopped drinking altogether. Which, while most people seem happy that I'm being healthier, seems to disappoint a few of my friends. We shall see how this goes over. Especially with my night out with Adam on Tuesday for the Oilers/Canucks game. Good times shall be had by all, even if one half of the party is going to be slighty late (hopefully not!).
Well, the night beckons, and I shall bid thee adieu!
-Craig.
