Break Time

With everything that's been going on the past couple of weeks, I thought it would be appropriate to catch up with something other than work.  It's easy for me to get swept up in all the details associated with my job(s) and let more important things fall by the wayside.

Thankfully, most of my friends are pretty understanding and provide excellent incentive to take a break, like I did last night.  Marathon phone calls (anywhere between 2-5 hours) seems to be a staple amongst my friends and I'm not sure I would want it any other way.

Now that they're scattered around the world, I think it's even more important to stop and recognize just how amazing each of them are, especially for putting up with me over all these years.  Although we don't see each other as often as we would like and life often gets in the way of talking regularly, it's nice to know that they're out there, ready to talk me off the edge whenever I reach it.

Marathons

Today's blog has been curtailed by a marathon phone call with my bestie.  This is what happens when when you go weeks at a time without talking =( Keeping with the theme for this week, I'll just promise to come back with something substantial tomorrow!

Let's Get LOUD

No - this isn't a post about Jennifer Lopez (sorry to disappoint any super fans out there).  Tonight I get to work an event for the LOUD (Leadership, Opportunity, Unity, Diversity) foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of The Gay and Lesbian Business Association of BC (GLBA).  LOUD provides scholarships to assist students further their education, and ultimately improve some aspect of the Gay/Lesbian/Bi-Sexual/Transgender community.  The party kicks off at 7:00 pm tonight at CBC Studio 700 and hopefully it'll be a successful night for everyone.  Back with thoughts on this event tomorrow - if I survive today!

Good Intentions

It's Wednesday night and I have yet to fix Sunday's post, or write the 3 work related posts I was hoping to get up this week.  Sometimes people will tell you, "it's the thought that counts" but in the real world, those same 'thoughts' don't count for much when a deadline has come and gone.  Looks like I know how I'll be spending my weekend - playing catch up!

Destiny

On the 17th anniversary of the last time the Canucks won the Conference Finals, Kevin Bieksa scored the series winning goal in double overtime, on the exact date Greg Adams did the same thing in '94.  A lot has been said about this team, superstitions, trends, curses, and history.  There have been so many words used that I'm choosing to let the following videos do the talking for me. 

See ya next year Sharks...

Keeping focused...



We've got 4 more to go...

Rushing = Failing

So it seems that yesterday's post was a pretty huge bust when the pictures that were going to make up the post didn't actually get loaded (I'll re-post this week!) =(  It's a valuable lesson in time management and procrastination that I apparently haven't learned properly since here we are again, minutes to midnight, posting just under the gun. 

The long weekend is almost officially over and I can already tell it is going to throw the rest of my week off.  Since I spent most of the weekend working, my already easily confused sense of the days has me periodically thinking tomorrow is Monday.  While starting the day late can make you feel rushed to catch up for the remainder of it, starting the week late almost guarantees that I'll resemble the walking dead by Friday, especially with the possibility of another sixteen hour work day on Thursday.  The one bright spot?  I'll hopefully find some time this week to get a couple more interviews ready to post =)

Check back soon!
