the move
So, I moved out of my mom's place and am now renting a room in my friend patrick's house...crazy shit that is...renting and buying own food and all that crazy stuff...anyway, challenge weekend is coming up soon, there's been way too much and I don't know where to start with all of it. I don't know what to do right now...full time job with ski patrol or bartending at algonquin if I get accepted...the choices. aaaahhhhh, I don't know what to do. anyway, bed time. chris | | Saturday, October 30th, 2004 | | 11:55 pm |
Week
So, now for my first real entry in this little glimpse of my life some call a journal. Week so long...school, ski patrol, cadets, and 30 hrs at work...money should be good from work though. I hated work at first...the atmosphere was killer, there was so much pressure to perform, but I guess that was caused by my own expectations. Now that I've been there a while though, it seems to be much more natural, the people are fun, and I seem to be making my sales quotas and such which is good. I should be making commission for this weeks as oppose to min wage, I sold enough that my 5% should be around $8.50 an hr, last two days it worked out to $10/hr, but that only made up for bad days earlier in the week. I'm not even the new guy anymore, now there's someone who even asks me what to do...it's great. So, I went rock climbing for the first time in almost two years, it's been like a year and 9 months or something...I'm so terribly out of shape. My upper body doesn't have close to the strength it used to have. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I have ski lift evacuation at mt ste marie for ski patrol....that's going to suck, I have to throw a weighted rope over the lift cables (which are apparently somewhat high at ste-marie), my arms already hurt enough, throwing heavy shit is bad for you anyway, this is just going to make it worse. oh well, it should be fun though. Trying to decide whether to go to college for bartending or do some paid patrolling if I get offered a job somewhere....hmmm what to do, I just don't know. Played a whole lot of guitar and sang...meh, it was fun. Halloween tomorrow..going to jon's drinking, then to barrymoores. hopefully I'll be able to find something at phase 2 or value village or somewhere like that when I get back from ste-marie. anyway, bed time cm Current Mood: goodCurrent Music: Counting Crows | | Monday, October 25th, 2004 | | 2:48 am |
My life
I'm 18, I feel much older though, most ppl I hang out with are two to 9 years older...one Cadet thought I was well into middle age when guessing ages of his seniors, what a little terd...I'm a former Cadet, now a "Civilian Instructor", in the process of joining the Canadian Forces. I'm active in an Anglican youth group called the Ottawa Anglican Challenge Movement. I'm training to be a ski patroller with the Canadian Ski Patrol System. I'm a hard-goods (equipment, not clothes) sales associate at a Sport Chek store here in Ottawa. I'm a student, right now a high school grad still in gr 12 to get univ pre-requisites, hoping to do bartending at college in january, univ in sept 2005. I live with my mom and younger brother, older moved out 3 months ago, I'm moving out in 3 weeks...I'm cynical and jaded, mean and an asshole, while at the same time, keeping a positive outlook on life, having fun, trying to be a nicer person, and generally the opposite of what I wrote in the first half of this sentence...I think I'm bipolar, but not in moods, just in views of life, and how I live it..... so that's me...as far as what is actually going on these days..way too much..some people say they are burning the candle from two ends, well they have nothing on my candle, it is being burnt from both ends while at the same time, it has multiple hammers hitting it from all sides weakening and cracking, but not breaking it. eventually, it will burn up/down some more, becoming a thicker candle with the drips on the way and the heat will heal the cracks, thus making it stronger...hopefully that little idea will happen to my life...hard little while where living on what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger rings true. anyway, it's 3am, so I'll continue my little intro background later... chris | | 2:39 am |
