  • Kingston

    I’m in Kingston, Ontario at my cousin’s place. I keep thinking I’m going to go “home” back to Walkerton. Tomorrow is my cousin’s birthday, so to celebrate it with him, he and I are going to go on a photowalk. It should be fun. He has the Canon T1i and I have the T2i. We… Read more

  • Another Site Nearly Complete: A&R Music

    So for the last few days, I’ve been working on a website for a local music store, A&R Music, and it is nearing completion. I’ve launched it already, and the owner and his wife are going to make changes as they see fit. Previously, they were using Pagemaker to develop the site, and while they… Read more

  • Nice Feeling

    Despite missing everyone at work, it feels nice to not have to go in today. I would love to work from home again. It sucks having to continue to clean and pack though. Read more

  • Insight Into Leaving

    I’m going to miss the people that I met at work. I’ve never felt so accepted by a group of people before. Sure, I’ve had one or two close friends since late in grade school, but I’ve always felt like it was mostly me against the world. The people here invited me to family dinners,… Read more

  • Less Productive Day

    Yesterday, I found it easier to pack. Mostly because I was tackling the bigger things, and throwing them away or in boxes, but today, I just can’t get as motivated. Thankfully though, I just need to sort through two or three boxes, pack my clothing, and get ready to pack up my computer gear. When… Read more

  • Added Stress to Reduce Stress

    So, I was doing some calculating and realized that I was going to be short more money than I was hoping, so I took on a relatively quick freelance job to work on a local website. It will mean a few extra dollars in my pocket, making the move more affordable, but it has taken… Read more

    Another day closer to my moving day, and I don’t really feel any more prepared. Read more

  • Stressed

    Find apartment, pack, clean, organize, think about moving, finding apartment, money, time, energy, focus, income, expenses, STRESS! Read more

  • Lightening My Load

    So today, I am trying to offload, garbage, get rid of, or otherwise lighten my moving load. I’ve been giving things away like they are going out of style. Not only do I feel good that I’m helping people in need, but everything I get rid of also makes me feel better about my future.… Read more

  • Last Day at the Bruce

    So today is the last day I’ll be working for the County of Bruce as a Web Specialist. Soon, I’ll be finishing moving out of my place, and starting my new life in Brockville. Everyone is coming to talk to me, wish me well, and give me a good send off. I’ve only been here… Read more

  • Room For Rent: Or Maybe Not

    So one of the places I was most interested, an inexpensive room for rent, is gone. The people that are there are staying, so it isn’t up for grabs. I’m definitely disappointed, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Now I have to look harder and faster. My official move date is currently set… Read more

  • Lunch Out With the County of Bruce

    So today, everyone took me out to lunch. Both the HR and IT departments came in full force, and Daryll from maintenance, who has been a great person to work with, even found time to come as well. All in all, there were around fifteen of us sitting at two tables enjoying a meal together.… Read more
