<-- my life, by webgoddesscathy --> :: Saturday, October 30, 2004 :: I noticed a ridiculous story in Humber's campus paper, etCetera, about the "Flue epidemic". They're using scare tactics to get everyone to get a flu shot. Don't these people realize that not everyone SHOULD get a flu shot? Why don't they report THAT? I get so tired with people writing these ridiculous stories. :: Cathy 11:50 AM [+] :: 0 comments Today I'm doing a Usability course at Humber College through DigitalEve Toronto and I'm finding it so interesting and useful. I think it's even better than the really expensive Web Strategy course that I'm taking at UofT. Although I think that I'd like to be able to SLEEP someday soon, I'm still happy that I came in today to this course. Sometimes I just like using my brain. Sadly, I can't help thinking about all the other things that I should be doing (ie: working on my UofT course assignment/reading, laundry and general housekeeping, cooking, spending time with friends...) :: Cathy 11:44 AM [+] :: 0 comments :: Friday, October 29, 2004 :: Poor Jimmy doesn't work at BMW anymore. I wondered why he was coming home so late that I didn't even notice he came home at all (except for the toilet seat being up, but I don't freak out about that kind of thing like some people). So he's not working and since energy is neither created nor detroyed, I'm taking over his share. I can't remember if I reported that I got a promotion. Well, if I didn't report it before, I'm doing it now! Yay for being Managing Editor! Except that I can't take on the new position full-time until some of my higher-profile projects are done. That means I'll be a project manager until at least January. Which would be OK, except that I've got sitemares up the wazoo. I was just telling someone that I realized that I've been talking about my job a lot. It's a very North-American thing to do, I noticed while I was in Australia. And now I realize it I talk about my job because I don't really DO much else. It is my life right now. And I think that's why I'm so crabby; although I like my job, essentially, it's all there is to life right now and so, when something goes wrong (as it invariably does) it's harder to shake off as unimportant. It's taken over my mind and I'm having trouble sleeping. I keep thinking of all those things I've forgotten to do, or how I should approach this or that problem, or deal with that difficult client. It's not healthy. I want to get to a point of zen - where the motivation to do things right doesn't cause stress. Where I can see beyond the immediate rush and details and have that perspective on what is really important. :: Cathy 5:51 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Thursday, October 28, 2004 :: Going to play indoor soccer tonight. Yay! Then home to prepare for early meeting tomorrow. BOO! Crazy days here. So busy I think I might lose my mind. No. I'll be fine. It's good practice for facing things unprepared. Yes. There's the bright side: it's improving one of my weaknesses. Heh. :: Cathy 4:35 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 :: Well, I'm still working my bum off. Still doing 12-hour days. Still going to class on Tuesday nights. This is the first night I've been home at a normal time. I celebrated by taking a long hot bath. In a candle-lit bathroom. With Sade playing. Magik. A coworker sent me a stress quiz and it turns out I'm stressed. ~shocked silence~ And that I'm taking it out on other people. That's the worst part, really. I don't like that person I become when I'm overworked and frustrated and have no patience. However, I'm really glad that I went to visit Raye in Sudbury last weekend. She's so great to talk to. We just talked talked talked all weekend. And saw Ladder 49, which is a bad movie that you should only see with someone as willing to laugh at it as Raye. And I read a lot on the 5-hr bus ride to the Big Nickel. I finished my book of short stories by women travellers and started on an inspiring book called Me to We. It's all about returning to a community approach to life, where people help each other. I'm really quite jaded by our consumerist society lately. I need some time to live life. :: Cathy 6:56 PM [+] :: 0 comments :: Sunday, October 24, 2004 :: Hi my name is Cathy and I left myself signed in on Alex's computer... yes i know I usually hyperlink on people's names but let me save you the trouble of clicking... Alex is the best, ever and he is so good and I like him more than smoothies. And now here is a funny picture: 
I can't imagine what context that picture was taken in. Thank you this is all. Sincerely, Alex.. whoops i mean Cathy. :: Cathy 4:39 PM [+] :: 2 comments
