Thankfully, the weekend is almost here. Unbeknownst to me, it also happens to be a long weekend with Monday being some sort of civic holiday - don't ask me which one. I don't know. I'm just happy for the extra day off.

It's been an interesting week. It's been busy the last few days working like a dog for the Construction Manager who happens to be on holiday today and next week. Now things are quiet again except for the Dragon Lady freaking out about lawyers and agreements and shite. God forbid they don't make their 25M but instead only 24. I don't actually know what the figures are but it's hard to feel sorry for someone who has so much and gives so little. Is it too much to ask for you to finally hire me and pay ME the $24.50/h rather than the agency who, you KNOW because you've ASKED, only gives me $15? And some folks wonder why I'm kind of bitter. The truth is, I don't mind the work and except for the few hours she spends in the office during the week, I'm pretty much in charge and I do things the way I want which makes the job that much more enjoyable. I just wish the pay was better.

I just came back from lunch. What a saga. Accountant Lady (AL) was leaving at 12:30 today so I went for lunch at 12. I actually left a bit before 12 because I had to go and pick something up at Future Shop. So I trek my ass up there, pick up my stuff and I start walking back. Then I see a bus coming down the hill so I get on it. Mistake. So I'm at the back of the bus and at the next stop I step down. Doors don't open. Shit. I'm on the express bus. It DOESN'T unload. OMFG. So between two stops I cram my way up to the front of the bus and plead with the driver to let me off. He finally feels bad for me and lets me off. You should've seen me. I turned red like a tomato while pleading like a stupid mofo to the driver. I had to walk back 3 blocks. But that's NOT ALL. So I get here and I get a frantic message from the Dragon Lady. Turns out, they came out looking for me at 12:15 and I'd gone to lunch. When I explained to her that I couldn't possibly go at my regular time since AL was leaving when I was supposed to be on lunch. She said it hadn't been cleared with her and that she didn't know. This is now the second time AL has fucked me like this. I'm really angry at her. Because of her, I had another earful from the Dragon Lady. What a saga.

On a good note, while surfing the net this morning I discovered the "Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher". I didn't even know this show existed but it's pretty darn cool. You can check it out for yourself, totally free, here.

And I think I want to try a new thing on Fridays. I'm calling it the "Keanu Friday Find" or KFF for short. Essentially, until I get tired of looking at this beautiful, intelligent man, you're all going to be exposed to one picture a week. I hope this doesn't scare anyone away. Here's this week's picture:

I hope everyone has a great weekend and remember kids: stay cool!
