So a team leader was canned yesterday after he yelled at one of the girls on my team...now this was a long time coming with the way that he acted on a regular basis but it all came to fruition last week.
Quick history...
Lee (said TL) is 'best friends' with one of the agents in my center, said agent (Veronica) is married and has a child. Her husband just moved up here from where they lived before (puerto rico i think). Lee told Veronica that he loved her and that he had seriously fallen for her...Veronica told him nothing was going to happen but kept talking to him...which would only lead him on. Lee then proceeded to tell my collegue (Vanessa) that Veronica was really in love with him but that he didn't want to ruin her marriage and her family and at the same time telling Veronica that Vanessa wanted to date him, etc. Vanessa and Veronica then started talking about the whole deal...and it turns out he was telling each girl something about the other that wasn't true, as well as everyone else about it. Lee found out that Vanessa had talked to Veronica about the whole thing and FLIPPED out on her in the lunch room. Vanessa then gave him the chance to apologize to her for doing it but instead he took it to Facebook, so she had no other choice than to tell his superior. Things were handled and he was ninja'd out the door yesterday...
Fuck people are stupid...don't talk stupid shit if you don't want stupid shit to happen to you...personally i think he asked for it...others disagree, saying Vanessa shouldn't have done what she did...
ah well...too late now...he was already on a warning...
woot 3 days til we are outta here and headed to Toronto!! yay!!!

sanity is definitely a frame of mind
This job wears on me daily, it is a wonder that I haven't gotten completely nuts already...it having been 3yrs now since I started. Don't we love these temporary jobs?? With this actually working it SHOULD be much easier to update and complain whenever I want. Mandy I know you'll love this :) So hopefully it continues...however I will say my life REALLY isn't that interesting so I'm not sure how i'm going to update this regularly haha
Today it is usually a slack day at work, however we are down one person and so as fate usually has it it is extremely busy...so far though we are good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it to stay like this...
I have spent the last few weeks updating one of our programs that we use with my job and it has been extremely tedious BUT I finally got it done! WOOT! So now I'll just have to go through it every now and then to make sure everything is still up to date...go me!
Now on to the updates
Byron and I found another place to move to, we are making this a trend (as it was when he was living on his own) of moving every year...which is a pain in the a** with all the stuff I have accumulated over the years. I'm the biggest pack-rat ever...this is gonna be rough... On another note, we should be moving next month but aren't sure exactly the date yet as the current occupant is just supposed to be out before Oct 1st but I think they are moving into a house or something and so right now the landlord isn't quite sure when exactly we will be able to get in there. Current date is set for Sept. 27th weekend though...updates to the address will come later. The place is $1200 all inclusive, and by inclusive I mean totally inclusive. This place has a dishwasher and it has a washer and dryer in the apartment, so no more paying to wash our clothes! YAY! Although Byron is complaining that he will be unemployed since we'll have a dishwasher and he previous occupied that position in the house lol
I'm in physio again for my knee, hopefully I'll be walking normally by November when we head to Mexico for the wedding...blah, I wish my knee would just work rather than me having to work to get it working again *sigh*
Byron and I are headed to Toronto on Friday for the Pearl Jam concert. We have opted to drive down there rather than take the bus or the train so it will be a long drive but should be ok until we hit the GTA I'm sure. Byron's collegue Jason and his wife Drew are coming with us but they are taking the train down there, so we were thinking of trying to get to TO in time to go get them at the train station. We have told them that this is only a deal if they stay at the same place that we are staying and then we don't have to worry about trying to find their hotel and then trying to find ours :) Also PJ is one of Jason's favourite bands but he hasn't ever seen them in concert so this will be super exciting due to the fact that he hasn't ever experienced them yet...should be a blast :D I'm also excited because the PJ concerts are always super entertaining and full of energy. Only issue I'll have is that I won't be able to stand for the 3+ hours that the concert is going to go on for which is gonna suck terribly *sigh* When they tour again I'm hoping to be able to enjoy it more thoroughly. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are opening for them, we were hoping for Ben Harper and the Relentless 7 since they are touring with PJ for most of the rest of the tour but apparently they must be taking the night off or something that night. Ted Leo is ok, not my favourite choice for an opener though but i'll survive I suppose.
I think that that is all I can write about today...I can't think of anything else worth talking about that has happened lately...so for now...I sign off...

This is an attempt...
an attempt at hopefully being able to update this more often with just sending it through my email whenever I can't get to this at work. *stupid firewall*
I'll get back to you though when I have a bit more time to write something :D
