only a surgeon?

I am now officially pulling down two jobs while taking six classes at the U of A. Whaaaaaaaat? you ask? I am first working as a drive tester to test signals for Rogers. It's techy stuff. My second job is working at Vertically Inclined as a climbing instructor (I just had my first training shift tonight).

My first job for Rogers required me to go to Calgary for two days. Shout out to Joanne and Travis for hanging out with me. I drove down Tuesday morning to downtown Calgary. Pretty crazy!!! I found the building easily (Google Maps is the best), but parking was more difficult. I found a lot ($17 deposit!!!) that was not that far away. I was a little early, so I walked around and went to a Timmy's. The line was ginormous, but I had time so I waited. I got my ho-cho and chocolate dip doughnut and chilled for a bit. Then I went to the Rogers office and the training began. It was pretty straight forward stuff, just some background on the technology and the programs. I got a laptop to use for the testing, nice. The second day was all in the car. We drove to a site to test everything out. It was slow, lots of problems popping up, but what do you expect for a first time? My poor car was idling for hours while we had to power the laptop and modem (go Mobil 1!!). I get a cell phone too, to stay in contact with the bosses.

I feel like a drug dealer walking around with two cell phones.

Vertically Inclined was brought to me by Melissa. I've wanted to work there since high school. The interview was interesting, in that it was a huge group setting. All the candidates met with some of the team leaders at the gym. It was fun, I mentioned Tom Cruise in my introduction of myself.

I'm going to be busy for the month of April, but I think I can handle it. I'll be a money making playa though. I'd better get my teeth mould ready for my grillz.

it's better with butter

Today, in my health ed class, I had a super weird/funny moment. We were talking about sexual health behaviours, like using condoms and what not and we watched a video on HIV/AIDS. It was the usual 80s high school video, it had some doctors, some celebrities (Magic, Paula Abdul, the cast of Beverly Hills 90210, etc.), and people with AIDS. The funny part was when the doctor was talking about lubes and condoms. He said to use water-based lubes, like KY, and not to use oil based lubes. When he was about to give examples of the oil-based lubes, I (and probably everyone else in the class) were thinking of the usual suspect, the Vaseline. But no, he said not to use Crisco and butter as lube! Hahahahaha, the whole class broke out in chuckles. So many lines of dialogue just went thought my head right then.

Man: "Dayyyyymn girl, you getting a little dry. You got some Crisco?"
Woman: "Oh no, I don't cook with oil, but I have some butter."
M: "A'ight, I'll go grab that. Oh nice, you have some Becel, I heard that it's healthier than butter."
W: "Yeah, let's use the Becel. It's expensive though, so just use a little bit."
M: "Okay, hey, where's your butter knife?"

Shit, I could write a whole play...




...maybe even a musical.

grillz

I want some "Grills" or "Grillz" as the gangstas would say it. Seriously, if I had the money to spare, I would buy them. Most importantly, I would wear them. Yes, I would wear them loud and proud. Fucking right doggy!!

playa hater's club

I just took a nap, and I had a horrible dream. I forgot the exact situation, but in the end of it, I was hating Eddie Murphy. I was extremely disappointed in his actions and told him that I hate him, right to his face. I remember that I told Eddie that I still liked his brother, Charlie Murphy, but I told him that I hated him. I hope this dream never comes true, because I never want to hate Eddie Murphy. Never. Never ever.

don't forget to bring a towel

I've recently noticed that I forget lots while I am in the shower. Not that I forget how to multiply, or forget the difference between salty and sweet, but forget about shower things. The main thing I forget is whether I soaped up with the bodywash or not. I really like just standing under the hot shower, so it's not like I go in, soap, and go out. There are vast quantities of lag time between the shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and soap. The amnesia occurs right before I shut off the water and walk out. I probably soap up twice lots of times because I forget if I soaped up already, and consequently, I probably don't soap sometimes because I think I have soaped up before when I actually have not.

More recently, the amnesia occurs when I'm drying my hair. I usually leave in the conditioner until the end, so that it has lots of time to work. The problem is that sometimes I forget to rinse it and I end up toweling my conditioner infused hair. SHIT! This one pisses me off because I have to go back to the shower to wash out the conditioner.

There are probably more things that I have forgotten, hence the amnesia. I think I need to bring a checklist into the shower.
