Thursday

"They call it stormy monday,
But tuesdays just as bad.
Lord, and wednesdays worse.
And thursdays all so sad."

I and M were planning on going to Toronto this weekend. We were going to grab a ride with my friend Amna but her parents decided to go so no more place in the car. I could just rent a car, but I will be going on Eid and then again around Christmas, so we'll just go next week. There is also some confusion around when Eid is.

There is a bazaar thing happening next week where I wanted to showcase our photography stuff. But not sure if that will be happening. I might go to Toronto that weekend. It would have been nice. Met our first Ottawa clients yesterday. Things are looking good with them. Hopefully things will start to pick up for us on the photography business side here. It was going quite well in Toronto and we were signing two to three clients a month, but then I stopped because I was unsure about whether I will be Toronto, Ottawa or US. I didn't want to take up assignments we couldn't do. That totally broke our tempo, so now its sort of like starting all over again.

There is a mall next to my work place. Its old and depressing so I never go (unless to purchase HIT chocolate cookies from IGA). Today, I discovered another mall a few steps down. Better shops, newer, pretty decent food court and marche. Its no square one, but its something. In that sense my work places have kind of gone from awesome to worse, as I've progressed upwards in my career. My first proper office was smack downtown on King St. and Spadina, right next to the Roy Thomson Hall. Doesn't get any more urban chic than that. Awesome restaurants all over, chapters indigo, movie cinemas, theatres, skydome, eaton centre, the works baby. The next one was in Mississauga right next to square one. They had a pool table on the fourth floor and I was averaging 3 games a day with my brazilian friend Marco. I sucked in the beginning and then started to actually beat Marco regularly. He would deny it, but he's a liar. That job was retarded. It's wrong to even call that a job. I got paid for eating and playing pool. After that it was ADP in Mississauga. Middle of nowhere, but I could hop into the car and go anywhere in sauga. It was right beside Yousuf's work place and very close to Pita Grill (this awesome shawarma place) so there were a lot of 2 hour lunches where we went back to our respective offices reeking of garlic. And after that its this one in Gatineau. Gatineau! Enough said. (But the coffee machine in my office makes it totally worth it).
