Jen and I met some friends after work for a happy hour at The EX in the Rideau Centre yesterday. When we walked in, we were directed downstairs thanks to my neck tattoo tipping the staff that we were in a group with the first to arrive and find seats. It was quite fun to sit with a bunch of old and new friends and talk about whatever was on our minds at the time, over beer and good food.
I’m enjoying this weekly event.
Is it bad to want to sleep in? I don’t think so. Doing so, would mean I’d have to stay late at work to meet the hour quota which isn’t something I’d want to do (start early vs start late).
On the subject of work, it’s been going well.
I’m trying to focus on one ‘hobby’ at a time to get everything sorted out and back on track (ie reef, mountain bikes, programming, etc); it’s quite the time requirement. So far, last weekend I addressed a lot of problems in my reef and it should be on track to healthy living until we move out next year. My bikes aren’t going to be as easy to fix, but I can swap the busted Shimano hub on my hard tail for one without ruined bearings (still riding it, it just doesn’t spin freely [aka my legs are burnt when I get to work, or home from it]).
That really just leaves a few loose ends of programming projects to sort out, and photography. Balancing photography with day to day life has forced me to realize you can’t do everything, or even hope to accomplish everything on a sliding time scale. I need to start scheduling workshops for myself, just to make sure I shoot & process (aka Photoshop Thursdays!).
Jenz and I went to the new Calypso water park yesterday, which worked out fantastically because it was pretty empty. The line ups were non-existent so we hit every slide and ride we could.
I definitely recommend checking it out.
I decided to stop slacking, and fix a directory permission error on celcius (my server) so WordPress could auto-upgrade. 2 minutes = problem solved.
Jenz and I checked out the new Smoke’s Poutinerie near our place on Dalhousie. It’s awesome, you should go get some poutine!
It seems either Apache or WordPress is crashing somewhat when it comes to page redirection; resulting in most links not working. I’ll keep an eye on it.
Yes, it’s Thursday… for you mere mortals! It’s the last day of my work week, because tomorrow I’m going to a water park with Jenz! It’s going to kick ass.
I was given a Corolla as a rental while my car is repaired (from a Corolla driving into it).
Today I had a dentist appointment at 3:30, which involved freezing my mouth for a small cavity repair.
Tonight I have a dinner date with my lovely Jenz, which involves a fantastic steak dinner for me (smoked tofu for her).
My mouth is still frozen, and we’re about to leave for dinner.
Jen and I went to a BBQ and spent the afternoon with friends. We caught the fireworks from home. I have a lot of raws to process.
