snacking...

so i've been snacking constantly these past 2 weeks... so much that i've gained 2-3 pounds sitting at my desk eating chocolate, yoghurt, granola, and crackers... not all at the same time of course :b and to make things worse, i havent had much time to go to physio these past 2 weeks either :(

that's it. no crackers. yoghurt once a week, and i'll allow myself 1 bad junk food once a week, and drink lots of water, and i'll go to physio at least 3 times a week. plus i have my skating 3 times a week...

rant for the day...

i come into work this morning and find that IT guy had logged into my computer for some reason. now i have never had a problem when IT logs into my computer when i was working at CI, because IT always emailed me ahead of time to let me know what they'd be doing and when they'd be doing it. unfortunately where i am at now, that kind of courtesy doesnt exist. the IT guy here seems to think he can log into our computer whenever he wants. i can't help feel like its a breach of privacy... or am i being ridiculous to feel that way?

stupid...

why is it that some people make me feel so stupid? :(

volleyball :)

last night i played volleyball and invited a friend/vball clinic coach to sub for one of my injured players on the team. i had taken a clinic from him awhile ago but since the accident, haven't gone back to playing much and of course, didn't do any clinics. i had so much fun! and it was a great learning experience. everyone on the team (except for me) is quite a good player and the guy i had asked to sub for us was as patient as i remembered him to be -- he even helped me and other team members with their technique too! :)

we won both games even tho we were short a player... team sports are so much more fun when everyone is out there having fun and enjoying themselves... :D

WANTED...

a blender that is powerful enough to crush ice. if you have one that you never use and don't mind parting with, let me know. :) i'm also looking for a hand-held portable one that i can bring to work...

calling all Graphic Designers...

are there any graphic designers out there reading my blog? :D
the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada BC Chapter is putting on a really cool event called Paperbash at Sugar and Sugar in Vancouver, April 15.

you're going to see some of Vancouver's leading designers compete in a Pinata Design-Off. They'll have every entrants' pinata (made from recycled paper) hanging on display to be judged in three categories: Most Outrageous, Most Beautiful, and Most Creative. Then after all the drinking and stuff, they're going to get people to basically smash the pinatas for the prizes inside! I heard they'll be cool stuff inside too.

so if you're up to the challenge, I suggest you grab a bunch of your friends, take out the paper, scissors, and glue, and get busy! ;)

anyone wanna make a team with me? :)

be-rude-to-Cindy-week...

i just got off the phone with another supplier... this time it was a supplier in Kelowna who we have purchased rinkside/backlit signs from. i left her 2 messages on her voicemail, and she finally got back to me today...

Pam: Hi, i'm returning your call.
(silence)
me: Hi Pat, I called to find out if you can tell me which company created those signs for us. But our VP in Kelowna was able to provide that information to me about a half hour ago, so I now have the information I'm looking for.
Pam: Well, you know that the signs have been changed.
me: Changed? Yes xxx told me that they were taken down and a partner's sign is now up.
Pam: So your sign is no longer up there...
me: Um, from what I understand we share that space with a few other partners... so the sign needs to be rebranded and placed up there again.
Pam: All I know is that your sign isnt up there. It was just taken down... So I'll tell you what. Why don't you deal with it with xxx and take care of whatever needs to be done.
me: (shocked)... ok... Thank you...
Pam: Yah! (exasperated yelling tone)

is it me?
