Timing

Timing *is* everything. I hate hate hate my job yet I can't go with all my cool co-workers who are going to different company because I'm going on Maternity Leave. Oh well. The X-coworker told me today to give him a call when I'm done with the Maternity Leave.

I know I just got a raise and all, but my sorta boss told me he REALLY had to push for it. That pisses me off! I thought they were doing it because I deserved it and they wanted to keep me, not because someone else is pushing really hard for me. Bah.

Then I get all excited about this job opening in New Brunswick. I even e-mail the HR person to find out what qualifications I'll need to move into that kind of a position in the future. I better get back to school if I plan on moving there. Man oh man, not much opportunity in IT! The position I liked was a "Learning Specialist" and so I'd need to take some Adult Education classes. Fun fun. A job, baby and school. What am I getting myself into??

I don't even think I can go look to see if any courses are available because the college teachers are now on strike. Bandwidth on the college sites = not good.

The weekend was alright. Friday we went over to Corey's friend Paul's place to drill a hole. His kids are adorable. Saturday Corey and I spent the day in front of the TV. I mean I didn't even get dressed. It was fun until I threw a hormonal hissy fit. That ruined the rest of our evening and then most of Sunday. Good thing was I went shopping on Sunday to make myself feel better. Ah...new maternity clothes.

My belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'll have to take a picture tonight and post it on this thing. I like walking around with it sticking out cause it's so obvious I'm not "just fat" now. Spring is just around the corner too so I won't have my big bulky jacket covering everything up.

I had something else to write about but I completely lost the train of thought.

On Friday I told my cousin on MSN that it was my grandmother's birthday that day. Then I completely forgot to call her myself that night. I am the worst granddaughter ever. We have MSN at work since Friday, soooo cool. I hope the firewall guys don't notice!

My brain isn't working very well. I think I've been working too hard. I mean I don't usually work at all...so this is a switch.

For My Darling Baby Girl: Last night was so funny. I've been feeling you move inside a lot so I don't listen to the doppler every night. I tried listening last night but you kept moving around everywhere! I had to literally chase your hearbeat around. Your grandma is getting your nursery cleaned out and then we're going to paint. I hope you like pink, or peach. I have no idea what theme we're going to use after that. I wish I knew what you'd like! Wait a minute, this is one time I get to tell you what you're going to like. Before you know it you'll be old enough to dissagree with me. I take it back, you get what you get dear! Ha ha.
