State of the Nation…

And by that I mean, The People’s Republic of Em…

I bought an iron and an ironing board on Monday night. It took me 27 years. I now own clothes that really need to be ironed to look half-decent. I can’t decide if this is a step up or a step down… it’s definitely sideways
Yesterday was technically “casual” Friday, and I still dressed up.
I donated 6 pairs of jeans to the clothes drive, mostly because 6 pairs of dress pants are taking up room now. Sighs.
Ms Kiki won’t leave my side. Likely due to my being out of the apartment 12 hours a day instead of…. maybe 12 hours a week.
I’ve told several people that I love my new job. I do. I may feel stupid for saying that later, but whatever.
There’s already a creepy old guy on my bus route that flirts with me and makes me feel uncomfortable. Thankfully I’m only on this bus for like, 5 minutes. But wtf, it’s only been four days and there’s already a “regular” annoying me.
I already have a non-office but at work friend – we met on the bus route and it turns out she lives in my building. I asked her where you buy those little clips with the retractable string for security/id cards, and she just gave me hers. It made my day. She says “fuck” a lot too, which I find incredibly endearing as she’s older than my parents.
I think I now have all the security arrangements made to navigate the path from my office to the bus stop everyday. It’s astounding, I have personal codes and cards and shit… it’s something I find cool about my job now, but it will probably become really fucking annoying soon.

And so it’s not all work-related crap…

My partner has gone to see AC/DC tonight in Montreal. Jealous.
I’ve acquired True Blood season 1 and plan to spend at least part of today parked on my ass watching it while knitting. People have told me it’s a good series – is it good?
Ontario peaches are now in stores / farmers markets / my gastrointestinal system – Go get some! They’re one of the best parts of summer.

I love this song and can identify with the situation…
