Me Time

So I've decided the take the week off. It was getting to the point that even the little things were really starting to piss me off. It felt like doing anything, was a living hell, including updating the blog, (and I enjoy doing this). So it's Wednesday and I've come to the conclusion that I really don't want to go back to that job, ever, but alas, I need to find something new. Oh and I didn't the the job I interviewed for a week ago.

The problem now is that since I've been spending the week goofing off, I really dpn't have much to write about except... IKEA.

Yesterday,I took a trip to IKEA to buy a mini computer desk. I sold my old computer desk before I moved and my plan was to buy a big ass plasma TV and use it as a computer monitor and buy a wireless keyboard and do all my computer stuff from my couch. Well I never bought the TV, and I got tired of the temporary arrangement where I had my computer, so I bought a 30 IKEA desk, put it together and set it up at the end of my couch, so now I can sit comfortably on my couch as I use my PC to blog, work on the site, watch vidoes, or whatever. Bottom line, I'm happy and comfy.

I did have one problem though. I didn't want to leave IKEA. I love everything about IKEA. I wish I have a monster gift card and I would redecorate my place IKEA STYLE. I can picture it now, new dining room table, new couch, new chair, new bed, and all the cool little nick nacks that they have there. Most of my dishes, and cutlery are IKEA (except for the stuff the my mommy and daddy game me). There' just something right about IKEA, right down to the 99 cent breakfasts at their restaurant.

As for the coments from people who didn't know what Battlestar Galatica was... ***sigh***.

More of the Yadda Yadda

Holy Crap. This blog has turned into a “Dear Diary” thing as of late, but since things are going on my life, I guess I’m blogging about that. I’m found another potential apartment and I’ve submitted an application. This place also has a pool and a workout room and it’s in a real high rise. The apartment is on the 28th floor. The view isn’t bad but it’s not as good as the units facing east. They have a nice view of the Stampede grounds and when it’s clear, the mountains.

On the other front…I have a job interview on Thursday. The only issue I have is the place is in the northern part of the city. Close to the airport. I wanted to find a job downtown, but considering that I only started sending out my resume on Sunday and I’m already getting calls, I believe this to be a good sign. It’s a call centre job but if they want to pay the money I want, then I might consider it. I originally wanted to wait until AFTER the move to start the job hunt but after freaking out again on Friday, I felt that I had to do something, thus I put my resume on Monster.ca and then BOOM, I got a hit. We shall see what happens next.

I have all these ideas for a post but nothing is appearing on the screen. I blame the uncertainty in my life right now. I just want closure and until I have some sort of closure on the move, then I’ll feel better. The job thing isn’t a big issue. My current job isn’t in jeopardy, but I do have to move. I’m just glad that the landlord gave me a month’s extension or else I would be REALLY screwed. I’m hoping for a positive phone call tomorrow so I can put everything else behind me and bitch and moan about loosing my satellite dish.

Yes, that’s the one drawback, I will be loosing my dish because I won’t be able to put it up and since I really hate the cable in this city, I’m going to live sans regular TV and download everything I watch instead. I have a plan but I don’t want to reveal anything until I actually do it. It does involve a new TV and a trip to Ikea.

This is another advantage to this move. I get to redecorate. I’ve been to Ikea and I already made a list of the new items that I will buy. I’m just waiting until I know my move in date so I can go in, pay for the stuff and arrange delivery.

I guess I’m going to have to take photos of the new place.
