You know I think I should have started drinking years ago.

Update on the Newfie bastard from work. He came in again today looking to get those damned pants shipped to him. I finally crumbled and went to see what we could do about it. Turns out that we will do it but it would cost him $6. When I told him that it would cost him $6 he told me that he no longer wanted them. What a cheap old jerk. I now understand why he didn't want to buy the pair we had and get them altered. He didn't want to pay the alteration fee. Thank heavens he left town today. I hope I don't see him again for a long time... if ever.

Well I finally got some news from the company about my training. Turns out they had sent me another letter which has never materialized at my door. Whatever. I talked to a lady in head office today and she informed me that the first week of work will be downtown Vancouver at one of the company's flagship stores. They will be putting me up in a hotel and giving me a $40 per day per diem for food. Makes all those summers living off of a $25 per day food allowance while on the road look positively frugal. Now my only real problem is that I have to go out and buy some clothes that will be suitable for this week. The first day is supposed to be business attire, which begs the question should I go and buy another suit. My grad suit is a little bit small now...

In other news I went to my Pastors Birthday party tonight. Being the crap disturber that I try to be I decided that I would give him a birthday present that would confuse the hell out of him. After work I ran over to Chapter's and bought a copy of The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde (honestly this is one of my absolute favourite books). Knowing Charles (the Pastor) I was absolutely sure that he wouldn't have even heard of it let alone have read it. I was correct. I sincerely hope that he actually reads it. I would love to hear his thoughts on it.

Because one of the last times we talked he mentioned that he would rather do something terrible to himself than read a fictional book I also bought him a Starbucks card. Of course the card, which I put into the front cover of the book, disappeared sometime during the night which is really rather upsetting to me because it's like I just lost some money. Harrumph.

Tomorrow I am planning on going home to Vernon to clean the windows at my parents house. I chose to go tomorrow because my Mother is working and won't be around to hover over me the whole time I'm working. I'm planning on going to see Troy with my sister later in the evening.
