11:31a Snowing again woo! It's sticking a little bit, I can see it on the tops of cars in the parking lot and in the grass. About time! Don't worry, I'll be complaining about too much snow soon.

1:22p Neighbours Last night at about 4am some guys from the building across from us got into some kind of almost fist fight. Mostly it was alot of people yelling FAG at each other then someone knocking over a bunch of recycling bins. Eventually someone from one of the apartments above started yelling down at them and insulting them too, it was around that point that they all went back inside. I can't wait to move out.

3:55a Interesting It seems that Bestbuy and Futureshop are the Mcdonalds of IT jobs these days. I was talking to a graduate of my program who came in to have some warranty work done on a PC be bought at the college a while ago (there was one month left on the warranty) and he was bitching that he still doesn't have a /real/ job and how he's still working at Bestbuy(as a tech/repair guy). I didn't think it was so bad until he told me that he's getting a raise soon that will put him at almost exactly half what I make an hour.. I made him feel better and lied to him, telling him I only make 20 an hour >.> I do feel for him though, he's got a kid coming and a house to pay for and he's stuck getting just barely above minimum for quite a lot of work. As for the work I do, progress has started on getting my pay re-classified, the core point rating system puts me at 3 pay bands higher than I am in(extra 8$ an hour), I will try for 3, but hope for at least 2($5/hr more).. and be annoyed if it's 1($2.5/hr) :P Though I have been told there's no way that it will get re-classified to the same pay band due to overwhelming evidence to the contrary of what they /think/ the work I do is. On a bright note, since we are doing the grievance the "long" way, we get retroactive pay(and interest) all the way back to hire date, nearly 2 years for me :D Enough rambling, sleep now!

11:26a oorgle Just woke up after... 10 hours of sleep or so XD I feel great.. finally. I was sick for most of Sunday at MFF with upset stomach. Probably a mix of lack of sleep, lack of proper fooding and too much excitement occurring. I have a good hour worth of video from the con that needs editing and posting, this should be done sometime soonish, I want to post a bit after work, I could do some editing while at work but I don't know how ridiculously busy it's going to be. Also, those who didn't know, the Krystal and Starfox at the con was Cassie and myself.. apparently there are pics of us up everywhere but I can't find any to show :P
