I am now at loo, unpacked and all (cept no way am I taking any clothes out of my luggage)...
Far, but nice view though =)

Not Kewl Man...
USD paid using Canadian Credit Card is just NOT kewl... the exchange rate becomes 1.13 something, totally not reflecting current exchange rates...
Evil, money-grubbing bastards...
This means War.
Update: I lost. XD Oh well, lesson learned.

Gone is the Wisdom, in Place: Pain and Suffering...
Wednesday:
7:25 AM: Wake... eat nothing. brush teeth.
8:05 AM: Get to Dental Surgeon office about 5 minutes late. Fill out insurance... Make new appointment.
8:05 - 8:15?AM: Wait (two others are called in, presumably just checking (because they've already done the deed...)
8:15 - 8:40?AM: Administrative work in THE Chair. Signing the waiver...
8:40ishAM: Inject THE Drug into IV placed on the BACK OF MY HAND... the needle was quite painful... the nurse goes: the worst part is over...
She says, "Think of a peaceful place..."
10:30?AM: I am in a different chair, reclined, in a different room, presumably the waiting to leave room... nurse gives me an ice pack to my face... there are tissue-like gauze sticking out of my mouth...
First thought: who carried me here? what happened.
About 5 minutes later, Mom is ushered in... we stay for 20 minutes more. After I am able to walk to a garbage can 2 meters away and back, I am deemed okay and discharged.
We go home... I take one of the Tylenol 3 given by the surgeon. Mom goes to buy painkillers/antibiotics.
I am fine. Feel no pain. Ice pack is very cold...
2-3 Hours later, I go to washroom to change gauze... apparently standing up combined with that Tylenol I took hours ago was a bad combination... It was chocolate pudding... at least I had relatively good aim...
I am lying down for most of the day... I am bored at night, so I get on computer... lamenting ensues...
Thursday (Now):
8:00AM: I am awakened. Possibly by the light shining through my window? My mouth aches but otherwise pain is reduced from the day before.
9:00AM: I get up, take out gauze, walk around for a bit, get on computer (made Chen morbid)... listened to music... took antibiotic. Waiting for food to cool... which brings me to now... I'm gonna go eat...
To be continued... (maybe)

Not kewl...
I just got ten thousand mosquito bites everywhere...

Monkey see monkey do...
2 more notes to add to my previous post:
1. I hate papercuts... especially when it's a huge scar-gash on my thumb made by a FOLDER... yes, no more papercuts, but cardboard cuts... oh it runs deep =[ And before coming up on the elevators from lunch I decided to use the hand sanitizers... they have alcohol in them =[ ...
2. I had always thought, until this week - the final week, that to open the doors from the inside one had to push on the door to instigate its automatic movement (because they are heavy). Apparently not. On monday/tuesday I saw a co-worker just STAND in front of the door and a second later it swung open. Now I know. I must've looked quite idiotic and/or constantly hurried when pushing on the door all those times... >.>

What I've learned... CO-OP 1
So I just had my 5 minute evaluation from my boss... which sort of inspires me to write a little summary of some general observations as well as what I learned at my time here at Finance and things I need to learn in the future to ... generally be awesome (=P):
(I did not list these in order of importance)
1. I like to work - when there is work. I don't seem to mind the type of work, as long I am motivated by the underlining purposes, which I was here. Indolence makes me tired, sick, and creates further lethargic behaviours.
2. I hate not being focused. I can't seem to do personal "work" when I am at work... this better not be some underlining ethics issue, or I shall be pissed.
3. I like my boss. A nice person who's just a little off (which I like!), and whose certain actions makes me giggle. XD. He is very helpful and real... tells it like it is! I appreciate that, more than I knew.
4. Working for the government without understanding French is not fun... I have a sneaking doubt that my boss cannot speak French either. Kudos to us! But learning this language is now a lifetime goal... SOB
5. I really like Post-It Notes, of many sizes. Both doodling and writing actual useful/important correspondences/reminders are AWESOME on Post-Its.
6. I am a perfectionist in regards to REALLY UNimportant things... like scanning a document: if it's tilted just a bit... redo the whole thing (which is like 20 pages). I need to change this outlook.
7. I hate printers. Evidently the feeling is mutual.
8. I like MS Outlook.
9. It takes me an abysmally long time to draft/edit email correspondences. Speed this!
10. I need to be more detail-oriented. I have never understood the full impact of this quality. Now I do. "Minor" mistakes are way too embarassing, when amassed (which I have a tendency to do). I will need to make the radar that are these wandering eyes to be more focused and able to detect those "minor" errors...
11. Talk properly, woman! It's all good in my head. It's all good on paper. My ideas are out there, my points expressed. But this SPEAKER SYSTEM needs MAJOR improvement... maybe some bolts and screws are OFF... ::mumble mumble::
Some other notes outside of work:
1. I LOVE my friends! I LOVE doing new and interesting stuff, whether I'm coerced to it or not! (it's like: no duh =P but it means a lot). I shall seek out new things to do in the future... be coerced as well as coerce others. ;)
2. I dont mind watching movies in theatre by myself... I actually feel more focused that way. YAY District 9!!!
on a still reflective note: I need to read that book yo... and study that evil thing =[
