that’s it. that was our last day at the victoria wave of the PowerSmart Youth Team for fall 2002. we cleaned up and cleaned out. click on the image above for the full 2.0 megapixel resolution.
tonight i hosted my very first party. i think it went well!
anyhow, i am falling asleep writing this so i think i’ll be calling it a night around now. good night everybody!

tomorrow is the last day of work for the victoria power smart youth team. woohoo! i am happy, yet i am sad. as any of my regular readers or any of my friends would know, i’ve really enjoyed this job and it really went by quickly. i had my post-employment interview today and that’s when it really felt like time had evaporated.
my endofterm party is tomorrow evening and i’ve barely begun to clean up. everybody seems to be moving or cleaning up, or both.

in other news, i finally figured out how to use the macro on the fuji cameras at work. i suppose this will be useful for next term in nanaimo! speaking of nanaimo, it seems apparent to me that i will be doing a lot of reading and working out and such up there. i mean, what else is there to do in nanaimo?

so here it is, 8 am on monday morning. its going to be a long day for me, working here at bchydro this morning and then at hush tonight. yeehaw!
angie says: yaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn
pretty much that’s how it’ll go today. we’ll probably find our own jobs to do, much of it probably involving cleaning up the mess we’ve made over the last few months. better done sooner than later.. like, friday afternoon when we all want to leave, yet we don’t, but we would if we had lots to do still.
angie nods her head solemnly as i type this.
it’s just so true.

tomorrow is my last week for the Phase 2 VI PSYT. so far there’s been a few good suggestions for what we should do and have on friday night. some of my coworkers have suggested i bring my turntables upstairs and mix for them. at first i was like “what?” i don’t want to be background music.. but i think they’re actually wanting me to do it, so that’s cool.
another interesting suggestion from julie is twister. haha ok this is something i can say i’ve never done before. i’ll see if anyone at work has The Stuff.
angie’s suggestion is a gift exchange, and something called the ‘egg nog dipping contest.’ haha, that sounds dirty. it isn’t.
i think.
it’s going to be a potluck, so there will be prizes for best dishes etc. plus we’ll get to eat all sortsa stuff! mmmm stuff.
last night i went to see The Seams. morgan from work is in the band and he plays bass for them. it was a good show. they describe themselves as country, but sort of tongue in cheek country. it’s in the lyrics. i would liken them to blue rodeo, so sort of prog country. if there is such a thing.
wednesday morgan is playing with his other band, mourning wood, at steamers. this should be an entertaining show as well!
that’s it for now. i am going to attempt to go swimming tonight.

i have decided to wait until boxing day to get a digital camera. i mean, being this close to boxing day, why not?
the picture above is of myself and angie. i hereby acknowledge the cheesiness of this picture. but it’s good cheese. i work with angie. this coming week is my last week working with her and everyone else. over the last couple months, we’ve become good pals (as displayed in Exhibit A) and i’ll be sad not to be working with her any more. so then, of course we’re going to have an end-of-work-term-party. all 27 of us. on friday i am hosting my first ever (non-birthday) party. so far, what i know i’ll need is this:

• ghetto blaster
• paper/cardboard plates
• ghetto blaster. um, no, i already said that. oops!

obviously i have no idea what i am doing. got ideas? help.

sometimes you just want somebody or everybody to know something, but you don’t think you should be the one to tell them. the past year has been one of those times.

i’m going to boot into OS9 to do some mastering in logic audio platinum for some trax that i want to play tonight at chlorine. so, the webserver in OS9 is kinda far worse than in OSX. sorry, but it’ll be ugly for a couple hours.

i wonder when we’re going to have chlorine shots again?
hmm.. maybe i should suggest we have them again. i think everyone else forgot about them.
tonight, it will be myself, yoseff and NeoFunkcian spinning ze vinyl at chlorine. it will be mostly a night of progressive breaks and a bit of this, that and the other thrown in!
the G2 has dropped another $100 and it looks to be The Camera now. i guess with this added job security i should just get it. i am not sure why i am putting it off.
wow, this is pretty dry. i apologize to my 5 readers for the blandness of this post.

the comedians were not bad tonight. i’d like to go again. and .. for free, you can’t really go wrong! afterwards we ended up at legends. haha
it’s getting hot in here.

today was our last day at retailers in victoria for the vancouver island phase two bc hydro power smart youth team, or viptbchpsyt for short.
yowza!
that went fast.
tonight, to celebrate not having to work tomorrow and having exceeded our goals by quite a bit, we’re going to go to the Comedy night at the Tally Ho Inn and then we’re going to hit up Legends.
bar star.
so then, take that to the street, aiiiight?!
i’ve never been to a comedy night before. should be interesting stuff.
