Phew!

The late nights and early rising is starting to take a toll on me, but at an enjoyable price. I've been meeting up with friends and attending interesting events of late, which helps to make up for the lack of sleep.

After a drink at Café Nostalgica on the U of Ottawa campus last night, Maggie and I attended a burlesque-style show in the theatre building, which was part of the whole Alberta Scene festival. The show started late - 10 p.m. - and at times I struggled to keep from yawning in the actors' faces. But it was great fun, a very clever play/musical/dance thingy. Normally plays of that nature would irritate me (I couldn't stand Moulin Rouge), but it was tongue-in-cheek and the actors were really talented.

I'm officially working my last day here, trying to wrap things up while training the new guy I hired yesterday. He's a bit strange - used to be a professional boxer in Thailand, for example - but he seems to be friendly and a quick learner. And more importantly for the other women still working here, apparently he's cute. At this point, I think I could be training Johnny Depp and not think twice - too much to do, to much to explain, we're on the go here. Plus we're having lunch at the Black Tomato in an hour, which is nice but without a doubt will put a dent in my day's progress. Maybe I should hatch a plan where I piss off the new guy to the point where he socks it to me and K.O.'s me right on the spot, just to make it all disappear... *POW*! *KERPLOOEY*! *BAM*!

Oh, but I'll hopefully find my senses in time for the party tomorrow night. Call me or e-mail if you need directions or more info.
