Rumor mill:

1 - Stu may be getting full time job at present workplace -- possibly true
2 - Stu is rich - not true
3 - Stu has a big penis - true...very true
4 - Stu is going to europe - completely untrue
5 - Stu is going to California - very possible.

Naturally the day after my last post I find out my run is coming to an end. I knew that was going to happen. Ahh well, not like I plan to do ANYTHING this week. About the full time position, doesn't look like I'm going to get it, but that doesn't mean that the higher ups won't hear about it. Why go to the director when you can go to his boss instead? Needless to say this is going to be fun week at work, where my only goal is to have fun.

For some sick reason, I still have a job. Sometimes I wonder who is more suprised, myself or the other employees in the building. I'm always moving around for one reason or another, be it scavenging for food (we had stir fry with rice and potatoes today, side salad and some fruit for desert...this was all leftovers btw), running around fixing a printer problem or just walking around to pretend I'm busy...u know...walk at a fast pace, give quick, short answers to the "how's it going?" question. So today, I'm doing my cardio (ok, I was just really walkiing around the office but every step counts)...and one of the users (who I took an order for lunch last week..don't make fun, I got a free lunch out of it) says "Wow, you're still here, I thought you were supposed to be gone by now"...to which I really want to reply with "Yeah, you didn't say that when I was getting your food last week you idiot."

Of course, I know my days are numbered around the office...offically I think I'm down to 5 working days (factor in Canada Day as a holiday), so for me to be motivated to actually DO work is a bit rediculous. And no, regardless of what some people might say, staying late does not really equate to actually showing dedication, it only counts if you're actually doing something while you stay late, not screw around. But yeah, that's life at work..who knows how it'll turn out. The only thing I'm concerned with is getting paid.

Well I came, I had a descent interview and I managed to keep the boneheaded comments to a minimum. I asked a few questions, appeared confident (although, I think it came off as appearing TOO confident) and I had them laughing at times. I was never speechless. Yes that was a quick summary of my job interview today. Sadly, having said all this, I still don't believe that it will be enough to land the job. Not when I'm going up against a family connection. But hey, why blame a guy for trying right? I think it was better there was a better chance of an Olsen twins sex video appearing on the open market (ok, that is a slight bit of exageration...but their 18 now!!!) than of me getting the job, but who knows, stranger things have happend.

I did a whole lot of nothing at work today...got what was required done, but that's about it. I disappeared from the office arouind 9:45...didn't come back until 11:30...nobody asked where I was. I streched a 30 minute lunch run into a 2 hour lunch because I could..and to top it off, I got a free lunch out of it. I took the last slices of pineapple from the fruit tray because I'm a badass, then I took the last ricecrispy square from the desert tray becauseI I can. That's pretty much my whole day. My phone rang a total of 4 times.

Other than working out a lot, playing poker some and going to work wayyy too much, nothing much has happend since my last blog. I almost throttled the VP yesterday. 4pm my boss told me to have a talk with the VP after his meeting to see if he needs any help setting up his laptop. 5pm rolls around, meeting is still on, 5:30...those guys are still yapping, 5:45...somebody walks out, but the meeting is still on, 6:00...still going, nothing outlasts Germans in a meeting, 6:30...meeting ends, time for a quick chat with the VP...6:32...turns out the VP isn't taking his laptop with him after all, he's going to call his secretary to see if anything important is in his e-mail box...6:33...I think about choking the life out him until I quickly realize he's twice my size so he would probably throw me across the building should I lay a finger on him. So the moral of the story is don't wait for the VP to get out a meeting. Ahh well, I got overtime pay at least.

Went to casino Rama Tuesday night, played the poker tables there. I've never done it before and I was going in expecting to get cleaned out. Needless to say, after an hour I was down to my last $15 from my original $70. So I figure, WTF, I'll probably have one more good hand to win back my money or leave cleaned out. What happens? I get dealt two jacks...figuring this is my only chance...I post blind...let other people raise...and just match their cards. River card comes and boom...another jack...I go all in on my last $2...and BAM, win $50!!! Another time I was able to buy the pot to get myself back to even. In the end I lost $27 but had a good time doing it!

Oh yeah, I also had a dream last night about the focus being stolen. I don't remember if I was happy or sad. I woke up before I found out where it was. I still don't know if that's a good thing. Ahh well, the CEL is on..the theifs couldn't have gone far!

I graduate tomorrow...I guess this is the part where I'm supposed to be impressed. I hate graduation ceremonies...2 hours of name calling, boasting about ones accomplishments and some horrible dressers. What else is a graduation ceremony? It's boring, and if I had my way, I'll sleep right through it (don't tempt me...it might actually happen). Actually my goal is to let the biggest fart rip ever on stage as I'm getting my diploma...leave them with a gift and see what happens...that would actually be funny!

Man...it's Friday...I'm a bit sore from working out...but I gotta tell you...I haven't had this much energy on a Friday evening in a long time! Noramlly I'm about to crash out...but today...I don't know...I feel full of beans and ready for action!

Well I finally did it, I joined a gym. Yes I know what you are all thinking, and it's true, I was putting on a few extra pounds around the edges. But that's going to change (for a week at least) as I'll be working out a little bit more often now. To those that think it won't last, my example is exhibit A, this blog. It's been going strong for two whole years! Take that critics!
