Moving

Well, there is a lot of movement right now at work. Everyone decided to swap the desks, well except me, the poor co-op, and Leena, one of the business analysts. Well, Shawn gets to stay put right behind me as well, but he's away and can't share the excitement. The local repository is still down and due to the move probably won't be up until lunch. Hopefully by then all the Crispy Creme(TM) doughnuts will be gone - I've eaten two and they're just soooo guuuuud! Now I have to go dancing for the the entire weekend to lose all those calories!

Yesterday we had a huge snowstorm (pictures will be available soon on Picasa), getting home was CRAZY. But somehow, once again, yours truly managed to avoid all the troubles. I admit, the ride on the bus for half of the way standing in a packed bus wasn't my first choice but it was the ONLY choice.

I think I am slowly infecting the office and everyone else around me - my sister got sick last week, people at work got sick, now Dima is sick too. He was whining the whole day how bad he has it, sitting at home, drinking tea and doing nothing. So Anton M. was bored yesterday and we made a surprise visit over to his house. We were watching "Братва и Кольцо" - hilarious Russian voice-over for Lord of the Rings. I have to say, if you have 3-9 hours free and want to spend them having absolute blast, just invite a couple of friends over and watch just that. To all the Russian speaking readers, I've got a full DVD for those who haven't seen it.

The drive there was an adventure! Anton M. has summer tires and doesn't plan to change them. Thus TCS (Traction Control System) was going off quite a number of times otherwise it would be impossible to get up that hill on Bathurst. Drive back was better, the snow on the roads just melted but didn't freeze just yet so the car had just enough grip to get me home ^_^

Fridays are good days. My favorite day of the week is Thursday but because of Fridays. Nobody wants to stay at work or be serious (thank God I have never had a deadline yet at work!). It was sunny at around 10am and even though the sun is gone, the mood stayed light. Even though I still won't get a second monitor. But oh well, can't expect much when you're in my shoes. Посмотрим что они запоют когда им захочется что бы я вернулась на еще один семестр!


Over and out, minna!
