2005... The Year I STOP Being A Social Burden! :)
So, it's been 2005 for about a week and I've already accomplished more than I had in the last 3 months. Wow, how productive... I'm extraordinary.
Rather than make outrageous New Year's resolutions, I chose to kickstart this winter with an all-out rampage. My main focus, of course, being employment. I'm also plunging back into school, and getting back in shape. The latter will be requiring a gym membership, which I will be acquiring once I rid myself of this financially-dysfunctional lifestyle.
In the last few days I have had 4 jobs callbacks, 1 interview at the Casino (which went well... ) and have enrolled in a business class at NSCC to occupy my time. I felt that I needed to dive in or I would never get it together. Unfortunately, my transition to Halifax was not the kick in the ass I had anticipated. I became too comfortable living the retired, lakeside lifestyle I had become so accustomed to this summer... minus the 'rents and crazy neighbours of course.
It feels slightly overwhelming, but I think it's the best option. I'll work p/t and take some courses. I need to edge my way back into the whole working thing. It's been ..... a while.
Today I sat at this desk slightly entertained by the neighbours clearing off the ice in front of their home for skating. He looked to be having fun zipping around on his ATV.
I realized three things today:
1. I miss skating... it's fun, and it gives you an excuse to eat chili and drink rum. Plus, you get some much-needed fresh air and exercise.
2. I need to buy new skates. I think mine are at the cottage which fails to help me in this situation. Also, men's skates are horribly over-priced... why didn't I think of this BEFORE xmas?
3. I need a serious amount of ambition to go out there and shovel off a skating rink. The snow is crusty and annoying (like some people I know) We don't know the neighbours, and I feel it's too obnoxious to use their spot.... is this wrong? I mean, we're Maritimers... it's expected isn't it? Dad, get your ass down here and plow off the lake... ASAP!
