work is great so far! i love my job. even the boring mundane tasks like pulling weeds, or sweeping sidewalks. everytime i start to think, "this is boring" i just take a moment and go, "wait a minute, i'm outside! this is probably the best damn summer job anyone could ever have!" the pay is great too. i like that it's physical so i can hopefully burn off some of the poundage i acquired in the last year. so far, we have only been going to safety meetings and reading manuals and then we have to be "deemed competant" on all equiptment before we are allowed out in the field using it. they have really cracked down on safety this year and i'm glad. last year i really felt like i was flying by the seat of my pants.

today krystal and i went to millenium place after work and worked out. we biked, did abs, and then some weights. seriously, i feel like the weight work nina showed me did more for me. i dunno. i'm slightly uncomfortable doing it in the gym surrounded by massive guys all roided up who are either checking me out or mocking my technique. maybe they aren't though and i'm just paranoid. regardless, we're going again tomorrow to do more stuff! soon, i hope to actually have a routine established. i didn't pay today but i think i will tomorrow. it's $6 and damn that's alot! i could get a month pass for $30 but that seems like so much right now. i guess then i'd only have to go 5 times in order for it to be paid off. ya, i'll just get one of those.

i'm off to see rhian for coffee! yippee! i haven't seen her in years. she's here this summer from nova scotia. i love her humour! i'm pumped! oh life is great!
