Night Shift strikes again

Didn't end up getting out to MEC today. There's always next week.

Having a fun time with Anglo!Coworker. I'm replacing Litigious!Coworker who called in "sick" again (which is also why I pulled a double on Thursday) because she has a "rash." Gee, the fact that she starts a three-week vacation on Monday has nothing to do with it, I'm sure. :P

My co-workers are joking with me that I'm going to be able to buy my house in Alexandria cash down by the end of the year at this rate. :D

I'm going to take [livejournal.com profile] ankhorite's advice and start packing next week. Monday will be "Bring Moving Boxes Home Day," and after that I will pack a little bit every day for the next while. As long as I have the packing bug, I may as well indulge it.

This is my reminder to myself: I will NOT be as productive as I think I could be this week. Night shift always messes me up. I should NOT expect miracles of myself. One small accomplishment per day will be sufficient, thank you very much.

Took my bike into work again today, after taking yesterday off because of the rain. I am really enjoying the biking thing so far: it takes a little less time than going BMW: five to ten minutes going, and a good twenty to thirty minutes less to come back. Coming back is downhill almost all the way, and public transit takes for-freaking-ever on the return voyage. I'm really enjoying getting home by 23:00 instead of 23:15 and sometimes 23:30 if I miss the metro.

I believe that three times in a row means that I can now say that I am consistently making it up the hill on Courcelles ([livejournal.com profile] diggerlicious, I will absolutely take you up on your offer to visit one of these days: let me know what your schedule is like and we'll set a date!), and this makes me happy. My ass is no longer sore, and I do believe that I'm slowly getting into better shape. Sure, four cyclists blew right past me on that hill today, which was a little frustrating, but at least I didn't have to walk my bike at all. Hah!

One of these days, I will get my social life back. Just... not anytime soon. :P
