Countdown and stuff

Countdown: 4 weeks of work left, 5 weeks left in Montreal.

On the plus side this week: My landlords have agreed to cancel my lease, which means I don't have to hand my lease over to somebody else. Yeah! Also, there is only 1 day left of me being the boss, which is really really really great. I guess because I don't really want to be there anymore, everything is a pain, so I'm really glad. Did I mention I was really glad?

I started looking for apartments on View it. There's not much yet for July, but I'll keep looking. I think I have to get used to the idea that I probably won't find somewhere to live until end May. I just have to suspend my disbelief. There is no spoon! I'm not sure what neighbourhoud I should look in. I don't want to be too far from the airport, but not too far from the city centre either. I'm thinking Earlscourt, Forest Hill, Hillcrest, or maybe High Park, or Bloor West Village. I don't know...

The new company still hasn't received my contract, so I need to check on that with ever so efficient Canada Post. The HR department asked me to fax them a copy of my signed offer, so I'll do that on Monday. I'll be glad when they have it, so they can start giving me more specific info about South Carolina in June, and I can start asking them questions about Toronto in July.

I also started sorting through things in my apt. and giving things away. I have to keep at it this weekend. I had a moving firm over so they can give me an estimate, but I'm still waiting. Basically, it's going to be expensive!

Work was crappy today. The delegation from Burkina Faso was finally here and the day was as disorganized as the whole preparation was. At least my president sat it on the meeting this morning. I felt so out of my depth, I dindn't really know what was expected of me . It went well, but then my president decided to put me on the spot and ask me in front of the entire delegation, why we weren't taking advantage of the delegation's visit to do PR. Well let's see, maybe because we're short-staffed, because my time has been spent making and un-making reservations for them. Anyway, I talked to him about it afterwards and he apologized, but still, pretty lame. He never even thanked me for stepping in and shouldering all those responsibilities during the transition, and then he pulls this off? Pretty lame.

Anyway, it's the weekend now, and I'll try to enjoy it and rest!
