Song of the Day: Dashboard Confessional - A Ghost of a Good Thing

I guess I've left this blog unattended for a while now. It's been a crazy few weeks. The last week of work was basically me walking around schmoozing with managers and long-time coworkers. I happen to pick up several references along the way, which is great. Even my immediate manager was very accepting of my departure. It was kinda funny that the managers made it their duty to tell me that my decision to leave was a great choice. A definite confidence booster to help easy my transition out of there. It's like we were in prison and I was able to escape. It's always good to leave on a positive note. I'm going to miss the department. It's been a great four years. I thought this picture was really neat and summarized what I was feeling at the time. Memories of woking for the man slowly fades away into a distant past...

And to leave in good spirits, my co-workers dared me to try the "Crippler" burger at the local Chill 'n Grill. We've been talking about this and it was time someone had the balls to attack this monstrosity of a burger. This is 3-lbs. of meat enclosed my the most dense loaf of pumpernickel bread. Of course this $24.99 burger included a waiver for me to sign to accept all the risks that may come with the burger. To top that off, there was an additional vomit fee in case I was to "project" and bits of food from my mouth. Needless to say, it was a very sluggish afternoon intestine-wise. Here are the pics to boot...

Anyways, as juvenile as I am, I scheduled my last day to be on a Thursday to celebrate my one day of unemployment on St. Patrick's Day. My time at the Bomber was a blast. It's funny to see women operate as they try and mack on your friends St. Paddys Day is always a good time with friends and acquaintances. For those of you who happen to remember "Blocker Extraordinaire" from the high school volleyball days playing the dynamo powerhouse West Elgin, he and his minions tried to pick a fight with my homies. It was kinda funny that a 27- years old 2nd year guy would try to pick a fight when he knew we'd ruin him. Stick to volleyball Wayner! So to note the time, this was only half the day of celebration. In the evening, Matty organized a house show at our place, which was awesome from what I can remember. I was soooo gone that I basically stood around like a tool not talking to anyone because I didn't want to involuntarily vomit on them [a definite conversation faux pas!]. So to all the people I've always wanted to talk to at that party/houseshow, I apologize. I'm not antisocial, just anti-social vomit. I was fortunate enough to spend the night with great friends. It was definitely a great way to end my days in Waterloo.

So the big move day... The move went smoothly with some help from Matty, Kerni, and Pud. It went rather well I thought with the exception of my DIY dresser that crumbled upon levitation from Kerni and I carrying it downstairs. I blame shoddy manufacturers [sarcasm]! Big thanks to Matty who traversed the Southwestern Ontario countryside with me. There are some funny advertisement billboards in rural Ontario!

So now this leaves me to plowing through my first week of work in Toronto...
