thebitterguyWork is slowly draining the life from me.
I can't believe I'm looking forward this much to visiting Ottawa.
For the unaware (which, I think, is everyone) Cindy and I are going to celebrate our anniversary with a relaxing weekend in Ottawa. For a sickening amount, we get two nights at a hotel, and tickets to the Museum of Civ, with an Imax show. Fuck. You'd think they could at LEAST give us tickets to the Museum of Art or Museum of Nature.
Hmmm. We were gonna just mega feed Minou, but I think I'll call a friend of ours and ask if she can drop in for a Cat visit. We've found that she loves the laser pointer. She chases it all over the place. I get winded just watching her. Which probably says more about my fitness level than her activity level.
Cindy is up to her neck in report cards. She's doing late nights and the cycle of reporting continues.
The writing goes well, if somewhat slowly. I got a blowup of the area I'm supposed to be writing about from Piet. I didn't imagine it correctly, but I figure I can get it correct enough that any inconsistencies can be explained as "old maps, not 100% accurate".
I wish I could email from work without fearing for my life. We received an interesting e-mail today; after a year, we will begin to receive pension benefits, which will consist of an amount equal to 3% of our pay going into RSPs,which I'm all in favour of. There's also matching for more, which, once again, is good. Gotta save for the footur!

Save for the footur, young padawan.
