yuuagoSo.
Got sacked yesterday, and now I'm out of a job. To be honest, I don't care. I was working on finding some other work so I could quit, so... there's that. It actually happened as a result of some drama that I didn't mention before due to it being absolutely ridiculous, and I'm actually glad to be gone, even if it means I'll have to do the jobsearching thing. It'll be nice to not have to get up at ridiculous hours of the morning, and I won't be tired all the time, and I won't be sore all the time, and I won't have to put up with idiots at work.
I was more bothered by the lectures and nagging I received when I got home, which certainly says something. I really wish my parents would get it into their thick skulls that my employment or lack thereof is none of their business.
Other than that, not much is going on. I managed to get tickets for the Our Lady Peace concert, so I'll be going to that, and taking either my bro or my father, depending on who's able to go. On the one hand, I feel like a bit of a loser for not having any friends to go with. On the other hand, my bro 'n my dad are cool, so whatever. Though if my dad ends up going, I'll have to put up with the inevitable music geekery that pops up every time I go to a live music event with him. Not that his music geekery is bad (it's kind of awesome) but I feel so bad that I can't really talk with him about it, because I know absolutely nothing about music -- I mean the technical part of it. When it comes to music, I know what I like, but what I like often isn't good, and my playing experience amounts to "I did a few years of piano and hated it, and now I try to make coherent sounds on the harmonica, hurr". Whereas he played the guitar for years, and... yeah, I dunno. It's just part of a bigger problem, us never having anything to talk about.
All that aside -- finally, it's starting to warm up! The last few days have been so warm, relative to what it was (-7? Perfect!) and I can hardly wait to go out for a nice, long walk. I don't want to get too hopeful, because winter isn't over yet, but it looks like things are starting to turn around. It'll be ages before we'll see green again, and even longer before we can start planting flowers, but at least it isn't so cold!
Oh, one more thing: Notifications arecurrently fucked fixed? still fucked. I've re-routed everything through Jabber, so I'm receiving replies in IM, but things might still be a bit slow.

and yay for finally-changing seasons \o/
