[10:41 AM EDT - snore]

Erk. I was awfully tired this morning. I should go to bed earlier. *yawns* I've got a lot of coding to do today. Yay.

[1:57 PM EDT - Is this how it ends..]

Hey, I forgot to mention something on Monday. Some girl came by to visit the office that day but I never got to see who it was. Well, I did see the her back and thought I heard her voice, but that doesn't count. Being Easter and all, I thought that it might be LC.. *thinks* Naw! I couldn't have been! *thinks some more* Drat! I should've checked!

Now that I've depressed myself, I think I'm going to drown my sorrows in some soup.

[6:50 PM EDT - New stick.]

I went on a mission to buy myself a hockey stick. The one that I have right now is not really mine and it's much too short. So, I remember hearing from HaremPresident that there was some sort of sale going on at National Sports somewhere near I worked. I think. Too bad I didn't write it down, but it didn't stop me from going out in the middle of rush hour (with a full bladder) to check!

So I plunged myself into the midst of rush hour, mingling with the other cars trying to "rush" around and hoping that I was going in the right direction. I headed north, I went west, I tried south and I finally went east. No luck. I had completely forgotten where the darned store was and I ended up wasting an hour going around in a circle. Throughout this ordeal, I was wondering why I didn't just walk off with the stick that I used from University, but I kept telling myself that the stick belonged to the room (it was in the room when I moved into there) and not to me. Well, that's what I keep telling myself. *kicks self*

I eventually stopped off at the Canadian Tire on the way and checked their sporting goods section. Wandering into the hockey section, I was a little surprised to see golfing equipment. Perhaps I was in the wrong aisle? *checks* Nope, inline skates. Maybe it's the next one? Fishing equipment. Previous one? Tennis and baseball. Argh! I had wasted several minutes wandering around for a stick and I felt as if my bladder was about to explode! (Ooh, icky thought.)

On my way out, I saw (out in the main aisle) what looked like.. yes! There were a few (well, ten) hockey sticks plainly displayed on a barren shelf. (Barren apart from the sticks of course.) Checking them over, I noticed that a good number of them were left handed. *gives thumbs up* I even noticed that a few of them were the same brand as the one I borrowed at the last game I went to. Who would've thunk?

I grabbed one. The price wasn't all too bad too, and I finally got to use some Canadian Tire money I've been holding since the last millennium. Okay, bad joke, but I think that holding on to fifty-five cents on the off chance I'll be able to use it at Canadian Tire seems kinda dumb.

Oh great, I was given more Canadian Tire money. *looks down at bills* It's a conspiracy I tell you! *shakes fist*

Anyway, I got home and I didn't burst any internal organs thankouverymuch. Furthermore, I've got a hockey stick, and I can now try to return the other hockey stick.. somehow.

I think I'll listen to some music.

[6:56 PM EDT - With a simple telephone call..]

Hey, I was able to finish all of that coding I was given yesterday. Coolio. I'm going back tomorrow to see what else needs to be done. Boy, there's always so much to do..

I've got a call to make later today. Will I forget? Unlikely.
