in the words of al bundy, "i feel good, yep i do"

i had a great weekend getaway with my girlfriend. we didn't go far, just about an hour outside of toronto, and we had a lot of fun. we went to a few nature conservations, did some biking, went blueberry picking, went to niagara on the lake to see a play at the shaw festival, visited a winery, and lots more. the greatest thing about it was that we didn't even need to spend a lot of money to enjoy a fairly luxurious weekend! it really does a body good to get away from the world for a few days and relax with someone special.

but alas, now i'm back at work. actually, i was back yesterday, which really pissed me off. two weeks ago, i told the boss that i'd be away this monday and tuesday. on friday, he asked me if i could come back to work in the evening to get some things ready for tuesday morning before i left. i said okay, but then never heard back from him, even after leaving THREE messages on his voice mail! so i left saturday morning, thinking for sure he's going to call me in a panic before the end of my trip. sure enough, tuesday morning (at least i was on my way home) i get a call asking if there's any way i could come in that afternoon. so i went in, and i'm pretty bitter about the whole thing.

i have to say that the saddest thing about returning home was seeing that the four e-mails i received in the 3 days i was gone were all junk mail. and it's not that i'm a big e-mail nerd (well, i guess i sorta am), but i was expecting replies to some fairly important letters, and was hoping to hear about prospective employment. just not meant to be, i suppose...
