With my favourite co-worker and the director on vacation for the past couple of weeks at my job, work has been pretty slow. The regular staff are booking their summer vacation time (up to three weeks!), so I have lots of free time in between my normal duties + my co-worker's share. This includes fun tasks such as watering plants, finding the coffee, searching the extensive filing system for letters and opening the mail.
One of my friends moved earlier this week from his house to an apartment (temporarily; this is his mother's new one, while he is still renovating his own). Lots of open space, providing an ambience similar to that at the Citadel Theatre. We managed to cram all of the belongings from his home into a 26-foot U-Haul. My friend Jer and I lost the use of our arms after that night. Luckily, Karl's girlfriend knows a construction worker who helped lift the super-heavy stuff (accompanied by his girlfriend?). We worked past midnight. The highlight of the evening was looking for my fleece which Jer buried under a pile of stuff when he was trying to make space in the living room. I couldn't go home without it because it contained my work ID and my bus pass.
