Now that it’s March, I can official start complaining about winter, right? I can’t wait for spring-like weather, and (technically speaking) there’s only eighteen days of winter left. Unfortunately, I live in Nova Scotia, where spring starts sometime in May. The rainy season, however, is nearly upon us — huzzah.
I just got home from work, which was blissfully brief. They’ve created a new position with shifts that are only four hours long; basically, the entire point is to provide coverage for other people to go on their lunch breaks. I worked from 10:30 to 2:30, suffering through the joys of workplace renovation. After months of discussion, they’re finally re-organizing the main desk area, chopping the center counter space down to about half of its previous size and generally just opening the place up a lot more. It’s definitely coming along, but I’m getting sick of “Wet Paint” signs stuck on everything and the smell of industrial strength glues. It’ll be nice when everything goes back to normal.
Anyway, the current plan of action is to get something to eat and then find something to do tonight. Janet and Pugsley are going to Prince Edward Island for the weekend, and they’re leaving at 11 tonight, so I’ll probably spend the evening hanging out down there while packing and preparation ensues. I should, of course, be doing something school related, but since when have I ever done the logical thing? I like to live dangerously.
So, on that note, I’m off. My inbox, after all, is empty.

Man.. I wish my parents would come and hit my blog up.. it would increase readership by 100%.
It still cold out your way? I haven’t watched a weather report outside of Vancouver in quite some time… seeing as I’ve been outside and enjoying our sun. It’s nice to see that California has been wet while we’ve been dry.. ‘cept for the mudslides and flooding.. ain’t nothing good about that.

May? That early?
Sometimes in Illinois it doesn’t seem like it warms up until July.
March is the worst, though, because one day (like today) it can be 55 degrees and pleasant, and the next it will be 23 degrees with a 25 MPH wind and a bunch of snow to tread through.

Greg I’m sorry to say, but the largest readership of this site is Canadian so if you’re going post a temperature please post it in Celcius or if you’re going to post it in Farenheit put a little "F" after the numeral.
I read 55 degrees and I thought for a second "man that’s hot" though it’s not really.

Hah. I didn’t realize.
My fault.
55F and 23F it is, then.
