Storm Brewing

Hello Madame.

We are set to get lots more snow. Didn’t go to the gym today, but I did workout at home. Sorta. Dips and various push-ups. I learned about Australian pull-ups, I’ve done them, but didn’t know the name. I hope my session doesn’t get cancelled tomorrow cause of the weather. Or … maybe I do. No, I don’t.

Made some headway with the roadmap – I’m building from scratch with ideas taken from multiple samples. I just couldn’t find one that I was in love with. You know that feeling when you look at something and say, “YES! That’s the one!” I wasn’t getting that. I’m happy with what I have so far.

I hope you get to be creative at work too. Can bus drivers be creative at work? What about nurses or people who work in manufacturing? If nurses get creative with medication, people might die. If I was a bus driver, I’d wake up one morning and decide to take a different route just because and confuse and piss off everyone. I won’t even tell anybody, it will be a surprise – you load up at Don Mills station and we take long cuts to Pape. And somebody, instead of enjoying the view, will call the cops on me. “OMG she’s crazy.”

“OMG she’s drunk.”

“OMG! I’m gonna be late for work.”

“OMG. I’m gonna be late for my appointment.”

I wonder if bus drivers get to switch routes? I’d go mad if I had to drive the same streets over and over and over and over and over and over and over for months and months and months and months and months and months. I feel sick just thinking about it. What do bus drivers do when they aren’t bus driving? I feel like they don’t have a lot of administrative work.

The other day Drè asked me if I’d want to be a police officer. Although I like the investigative puzzle aspect of it; Definitely no! Aside from the fact that I’m not chasing any criminals (they’re gonna have to come and find me), I think the work can be extremely frustrating and emotionally draining. This is just my perception from watching true crime shows. Of course, It can also be very satisfying when you find the perp. But when you don’t and you’re chasing leads that lead to nothing and you have to start over again and again … that sucks. I think finding answers for families and speaking for the victims is what keeps them motivated.

I love what I do – the variety of it, the creativity of it, the exactness of it, the people, especially when I get to work with clients – I really enjoyed professional services at my last job. The internal inefficiencies made me scream into my travel pillow every day, but the clients kept me coming back – I live for a, “Thank you Sam!” That always made/makes me smile.

I gotta go get my laundry and pack my bag for LaFit tomorrow. If the gym is open, I’m going.

Good night – do you think would be fun to sleep with rats? Kinda like how people sleep with their dogs/cats. I don’t think I can trust these guys, they’ll chew through my duvet and blankets and pillows and do the most awful redecorating. I’ll sleep with rats in my steam house – then they can’t get into anything they’re not supposed to.

Good night for real this time.
