Jun. 5th, 2006 04:50 pmI've been told that I need to update more... therefore.
So I'm at work (again), being a glorified scanner (again), and fixing everyone's paperwork (again). Really, it'll be nice to be out of here for a few weeks in July... Mostly because data entry is mind-numbing, but also because office politics are iffy.
So, I usually head into Montreal after work on Monday (accomodating whatever rides my parents want me to give my brother and sister, which generally takes me another two hours) so that I can go to the committee meeting on Tuesday morning, then drive BACK to Sherbrooke after the meeting and go to work. So, when I left Montreal last night, I was planning on being back there tonight, and so left most of the stuff I usually drag with me there (computer stuff that makes my life easier, the book I'm reading and wouldn't have time to get into, jeans and shirts, etc). So, noon today, my parents tell me that, oh hey, by the way, they need both cars tomorrow morning, so I'll have to not-go, and they didn't call me to tell me this yesterday (when they realised it) because it was the weekend and they didn't think it would matter. I mean, excuse me, but wtf? It's not like this is some sort of random whim that has me driving into town - it is a JOB! and more than 24 hours notice if I can't be there is kind of appreciated! Also, things I need for this week (ESPECIALLY the computer stuff, but clothes that fit - a supply that is fairly limited - would also be nice) are still in Montreal - which means that I'll have to do a back-and-forth trip either tomorrow evening or the evening after. Gah! Drives me up the WALL! And yes, I know it is their car, but I'd kinda like a wee bit of warning when I'm counting on having it and they said I could! But nooo, nothing I do, including WORK, can possibly be important enough that I'd appreciate a day's warning, right?
*sigh*
Anyways. Parent-caused ranting aside... it was really nice to be in the city this weekend. I saw friends, and had fun, and realised (yet again) how much I appreciate decent public transport. Seriously, this living-with-my-parents thing? Is driving me up the wall, despite the fact that I do love them and that my sister is quite all-around amazing. The good side, of course, is that I'm currently debt-less AND have money in my bank account, which is quite appreciated. But... I'll be glad to move out again. Also nice to have something to move TO, and opposed to just FROM. If that makes any sense.
And yeah, I'll quit babbling and get back to work.
