My little update

Carrying Gab out and dumping him in the snow

I’ve been pretty bad lately. I’ve been on a 6 day drinking binge and I can feel my body beat up and tired and my mind running off to its own little world. On the trip up to Kicking Horse we were drinking, then we come back and it’s Valentines day(Hope you all had a good one and hopefully none of you are getting married anytime soon) so we went out and drank some more then it was Josh’s farewell so we went out and drank, then he had a house party the next day so we drank. Then Kiwi Dave was leaving so he hosted another house party the following day and yep you guessed it WE DRANK. I’m starting to think I need rehab or something. But on bright side I’m starting to hold my alcohol pretty well now. But the downfall is if I keep this up by the time I get home, I’m going to have a beer gut the size of pregnant women.

After all that alcohol abuse I have put them through over the last few days, I crashed on my bed and was out like a light. 13 hours later, I woke up with my wallet in my front left jean pocket, phone in my right pocket and the camera in my back pocket. I was still in my going out clothes. I don’t know how I ended up sleeping with it all in my pocket and stabbing me every time I roll over but I have to say it was the best sleep I’ve had in a very long time.

But the only reason I’ve been drinking so much is because people are leaving or are ready to go home back for Uni and other stuff, while others are planning their next thing to do after the Winter Season. Gosh I can’t believe I made it through winter in Canada. But anyhow I’ve been a bit slack in planning what I want to do and where I want to go. Since I haven’t been able to save a great deal of money working at COP, the plan now is to stay in Calgary until Stampede time and work at COP part-time to get cheap rent and find another job that pays a bit more. Hopefully I’ll save a bit more so I get the chance to visit some family in the States on the West Coast before heading over to the East Coast. Well that’s the plan anyway so hopefully when I know something more concrete, I’ll let you all know.

Aside from all of the above, people have been getting fired left right and centre at COP lately. 3 people have left this week. Reasons? Not pulling their weight. Not showing up to work and threatening customers. Out of those 3, it was no surprise that one of them happened to be my room mate James. I always thought it was going to happen. He was out for threatening customers which was a colleague off duty but still he was instantly evicted out of residence. Although James is a good bloke to hang out with, he would have to be the worst room mate ever. So part of me was quite happy that he got booted out. So right now I have the whole house to myself and it feels great but it won’t be for long until Cam(who used to live with Rob) moves in. He’ll be my new room mate.
