It&apos;d been a while since I saw the folks, and I had to drop all my tax information to my mom (she does my taxes), so I decided to make a weekend of it. In general, the weekend was ok. I didn&apos;t get to goof off as much as I wanted to though, I&apos;d brought some work with me that I had to go through. The good thing is that I have the SRS for the CHUM project I&apos;m currently working on done for half the project, and it&apos;s almost ready for sign-off. Once that&apos;s done, we can start working. I can get back to what I do best, i.e. writing code.<\/p>\n<p>I ate really well,as usual, but I didn&apos;t sleep well at all. Little worries creeping up on me, I guess. I woke up really early every morning, and the work didn&apos;t help keep me awake. Business writing is DULL. Anyway, it&apos;s done now, woohoo. <\/p>\n<p>I spent part of the weekend online, in off and on spurts. You gotta hate dial-up after you&apos;ve been spoiled by broadband. Anyway, I chatted with some friends here and there, and had a bit of a spat with <a href=\"http:\/\/users.livejournal.com\/strychnyn\/profile\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stat.livejournal.com\/img\/userinfo.gif\" alt=\"[info]\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" border=\"0\" align=\"absmiddle\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/users.livejournal.com\/strychnyn\/\"><b>strychnyn<\/b><\/a>. It&apos;s not intentional, but I tend to unconsciously push her buttons, without meaning to :( There&apos;s not a lot I can say about it, except understand when it happens, I guess. Spoke at length with TwiInnocent, and a bit with other people here and there. <a href=\"http:\/\/users.livejournal.com\/eniran\/profile\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stat.livejournal.com\/img\/userinfo.gif\" alt=\"[info]\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" border=\"0\" align=\"absmiddle\"\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/users.livejournal.com\/eniran\/\"><b>eniran<\/b><\/a> is back in town, and i can&apos;t wait to see her. I really missed her while she was down under. <\/p>\n<p>I&apos;m on the bus going back to Montreal, and writing this offline on my laptop. I&apos;ll upload it later. For now, I&apos;ll just finish this off and listen to some music. Just as a little side note before I leave. A Peter Gabriel song just came on, <i>Don&apos;t give up<\/i>. Every time I hear that song, I can&apos;t help but think of Tina. Seriously, I still think about her sometimes, and wonder how she&apos;s doing. Who knows, maybe one of these days, I&apos;ll write and find out.<\/p>\n<p>Toodles for now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Post edit: Even though I normally sleep on the bus, I still have a feeling of time passing. This time, I went out like a light. After shutting down my laptop, I just fell asleep like a dead man, and woke up at Dorval. It was instantaneous. Like flicking off the lights. Close eyes, Ottawa, open them up again in Dorval. Neat :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took a 3-day weekend this weekend. strychnyn was going to Ottawa this weekend, so I mooched a lift.
