Summer...

So... I guess summer has begun now. I've been up in Kingston since Sunday and have settled into the old routine of work followed by Margaritaville. It's been a pretty busy week doing the training for the boat lines. All the Managers this year are very involved with the training and so it's been keeping me pretty busy. I mean our meeting at Margaritaville Monday afternoon for 5 hours was tough! :)
Things have been good. Got in a rock climbing session after the 5 hour meeting and it was good to see that I can still do it though my body ached afterwards for 2 days. I think I'm going to get a membership because it's 12.50 a climb but only 130 for a summer membership. That means once you've gone 10 times you've paid for it. Even if I only go 1x week it's still a good deal. Plus since I work at the waterfront I could buzz down after or before work and do some bouldering on my own as well. I think in addition I may grab a new pair of climbing shoes as my old ones hurt my feet and when I buy a membership they'll give me 15% off the gear which isn't bad, no tax anyways.
Yesterday was a 14 hour day. Thankfully 2 breaks were spent at Margaritaville, but still a long day. Today is $4 drinks at the Merchant, followed by getting paid to take the Haunted Walk... Unfortunately it looks like it's going to rain. Tomorrow is the Wine Tasting seminar followed by a party at the Griz. Saturday I head into Toronto to see Sigur Ros with Laura and Ian and as well meet up with Haley for dinner, who I haven't seen since last summer.
Next week I plan to accomplish the unbelievable and begin writing my thesis proposal which I hope to have done at the end of May, then I'll have June to work on the actual music before my job takes over my life again. As well, Charlotte has a few days off work so she'll be up here visiting which will be fantastic .

Life is busy.... And old people are shitty tippers.
