The five westernmost provinces & territories have *all* officially decided to opt out. Ontario has promised to stop too, if only we will (& NYC)... So, liiike... can we?
Pretty please?

I was going to redye my bangs this afternoon, but they kinda match my new pants perfectly?
Also? Do I *need* to wear a jacket to a job interview? The only one I own is black...
#InterviewPrep
Bonus points if there's a store where I can go try shit on in downtown Montréal (that might even let me return stuff if I change my mind after the fact)...
Haven't needed interview appropriate attire for nearly two decades...
What're people wearing these days, & where do y'all buy it!?
Home. Alone & unsupervised all weekend long!
Gonna sleep in until noon tomorrow, & then take a five to seven hour long bath. After that, the plan is to head to Mom's for dinner & crash on the couch. So mah bestie can pick us up for an Ikea excursion first thing Sunday morning.
I am weirdly excited.
The last time it was Friday, March 13th, was the day the pandemic was officially declared in Montréal...
Dreamed that the girls came & slept w/ me today: Ebi on my chest, & Roe under the sheets, tucked up against my hip... & woke up to find kitty litter in the bed.
Me, while putting on my boots to leave for work: "It's not fair. My stupid work week hasn't even stupid started, & I'm already stupid tired."
The amount of "fitness" & "nutrition" Pages that I've blocked since the New Year, is *astounding*...
I have just folded myself in half, so I could apply my toes to my temple...
Some context:
1) My toes have been cold all day.
2) I have a pounding headache.
3) Cold often helps to ease my headaches.
Happy New Year, y'all.
That leaves two last competencies to begin & submit (along w/ three grades pending).
Currently, w/ fourteen (out of nineteen) grades on record, my average is 97%.

This whole going back to school in my forties thing is all right...
Event planning oral presentation & "interpersonal skills" interview was completed this afternoon.

One day, I will get into a bath that has neither a purple bath bomb stain nor curly hairs littering the bottom, but today? Today is not that day.
What's your favorite local* charity?
* preferably Montréal, but definitely Québec/Canada.
Workplace Hack:
Saying "happy to help," instead of "no problem," to subtly convey to people that my assistance was, in fact, work.
I was so excited for Lauryn Hill's upcoming tour...
Problem is, the *cheapest* tickets here in Montréal are $233, & the Wednesday night show doesn't even start until 21h30.
👎👎👎
"When they pulled up to the White House, the children's faces fell. An excavator was parked outside the East Wing. A large portion of the building had been completely destroyed, and important-looking documents were floating through the air."
Flight attendant: Can I interest you in pretzels, or a cookie?
Me: Can I have both?
FA: For sure!
Me: Thank you!
🥨🍪💙
Her: Okay, well, when you decide, you know what I like: roast beef, turkey, chicken.
He wanders off. Comes back fifteen minutes later.
Him: Oh? Did you want something? I got pepperoni...
Me, when he leaves again, to purchase a $5 can of Coke: You deserve better.

A couple is sitting nearby. She's got a cast on her foot...
Him: What're we gonna eat?
Her: It's a 90min flight. They'll have snacks on the plane.
Him: I'm hungry now!
Her: [pointing] Sandwiches, pizza, Thai?
Him: I dunno...

Someone on this bus smells like...
pipe tobacco/smoke?!
W/ that reprieve, I was able to slowly begin distancing myself from his misdirected rage, & by the time I was fifteen, my father's barbed words no longer caused me to flinch, because the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

When I was eleven or so, I told my father that, if he ever hit me again, I'd claim he'd touched me. I was too steeped in the abuse to see the physical violence as unacceptable, but the threat of sexual assault accusations? That might just stay his hands...

Them: "Do we have to wear these seatbelts?"
Me: "Am I wearing a Megabus
uniform?!"
FYI: I am *not* wearing a Megabus uniform, but I *am* wearing my seatbelt; double decker busses are wobbly.
Them: "Do any of these seats have chargers?"
Me: "They're under every set of seats."
Them: "Mine doesn't seem to?!"
Me: ::sighs::
Me: "Did you look *under* your seat?"
Then: "Oh."
Them: "Is this where to wait for the bus?"
Me: "Depends what bus, but your best bet is to check any of the MANY screens throughout the station, all of which will tell you which gate your specific bus will be at."
I wish I understood why, but no fewer than five people have interrupted me to ask a variety of questions since I arrived at the station an hour ago (the bus left 15min late, about 15min ago).
Bus people are fucking weird...
We haven't even left the station, & some rando just asked me if I could hotspot him?! 😑🖕
Collected myself a Thai peanut sauce burrito thingy, before making my way to the bus terminal. Fingers crossed I'll be able to have a seat set to myself for at least part of the way... 🤞
