Nag

I’m so angry at myself. Why am I having such a difficult time saying no to people? It was in my last post that I said how much I loved my job; well they throw me back into the stuff I hate to do. The person used to do the stuff I’m doing used to report to me in my old job. I know it’s going to be temporary until they hire a new person, but it has a very bad effect on me. It’s like anybody that can’t do the job; I have to take care of it. I’m not the kind of person to whine or complain about anything. I feel really bad now.
Well… when I wrote the above, I was really angry. I guess my grandfather blood was running in my veins. I feel much better now. It’s not a big deal I can live with it. I think I’m coming down with a cold. I started coughing on Tuesday and now it’s getting worse.
There is a really good game on Saturday morning Manchester United vs. Liverpool. Man U in my favorite team but I really like Liverpool and my favorite player Peter Crouch plays for Liverpool. The game is at 7:45 in the morning. I have to go to bed early on Friday. My father is coming over for lunch and I want to make dill rice with lamb shanks.

Month of March started today, I made big decisions and I hope I can stick to them. I’m really behind on my studies, so I have to study one lessen per day for the next ten days which is not easy but I think I can do it. Then that’ll leave me with couple of days to review before the exam. Also I have to focus on my uphill running. I have a race coming on April 7th and most of the running route is uphill. Last year I ran the 8 kilometers in 42 minutes but I want to do under 40 this time.

I missed Lost for the third week. I have to get it from my friends and watch it. I heard it’s getting good. I miss it. I watch gray’s anatomy every Thursday and even though it’s super cheesy, I enjoy watching it. Oh.. Dr. Sheppard is really cute and when he smiles… mmm… :)

Oh BTW... I have wii play!

Party Girl

This weekend was about partying and having fun. Got out of work around 6 on Friday after a great day of work and sushi with green tea ice cream! I have to write about my work. It might sound very geeky but I love my job. Basically all I do all day is sort through numbers and cross reference data and it's awesome. I really don't know why I like it so much but it's like playing sudoku all day. I have to work with tech and operation where most of the smart and interesting people work.
My boss is super smart. A kind of guy that doesn't make you work hard rather you want to work hard to look smart like him which is impossible. He's got ridiculously high IQ and unlimited energy. He is a runner and it's kind of having a role model, someone you can look up to.
I had to buy sushi for one of the guys I work with. He found me a Wii controller. We went for sushi around 1 on Friday, by that time I was starving. I had an hour training session in the morning and only had a glass of milk and a banana. I had the delicious rainbow rolls, mini vegetarian spring rolls and yummy green tea ice cream.

Left home around 8 to go to Afra and Ali's anniversary party. I got a bit drunk and danced away all night with my friends. It wasn’t too too bad though. Shadan didn’t start doing downward dog which means that she wasn’t drunk enough!
Saturday morning I had my RRSP appointment and went to Tiffany to change my pendant that was given to me by my ex. It's funny how over priced is the jewellery over there. I really liked that necklace but I guess you can't wear something that was given to you by your ex. It'll send a wrong message. I realize that I've changed so much though. I can't believe I actually got excited to see the Tiffany box. What a shallow thing to do. Who cares if it's Tiffany or fake? Most of the people that shop at Tiffany are fake anyway. I rather go to Manchester and watch a soccer game with that money. It's probably cheaper to do that. Anyway I got a new diamond necklace now! It's so not me wearing Tiffany necklace. Somewhere along the line I got into jewellery for couple of years, maybe influence by my friends and general Iranian culture. It’s amazing how that makes you like things that nothing to do with real you. I'm a girly girl. I like to wear skirt and look pretty and cute but I don’t like channel and LV and pretentious shit.

After the Tiffany trip, I went and drawn myself into popcorn to make up for boring morning of RRSP and Tiffany. I watched The Queen at Varsity by myself. Sometimes I like to be on my own. I ate a medium bag of popcorn and watch how queen drove her jeep with her dogs and ignore the people. I have to say it was a little cheesy but she played the queen very well. I came back home and had a nap.

My good old friend is here from Halifax. They picked me up around midnight and we headed to The Guvernmnet. I met up with another friend around two and danced until 7 in the morning. Yes… when I say party girl I really mean it. We were the last two people that left the koolhaus. (It was due to the fact that I lost my coat check ticket and I had to wait until everyone gets their coat back) It's always nice to know you have really good friends that are willing to wait until you find your coat! ;)

I'm so glad that this weekend is over and I get to go to Sam and Talayeh's place tonight to watch Oscar. I was supposed to make my Chocolate cherry trifle, but I'm too tired to do that. I'll pick up a cheesecake on my way there.
