Pearls of Wisdom

Hey everyone... I'm blogging from the library still so that means still no internet for me =( As if things couldn't get any worse, my apartment sprung a major leak today. A storm that happened overnight left our apartment flooded in every room and so for the entire morning and good part of the afternoon, my housemates and I have been getting down on our hands and knees mopping up the mess. Bibs' room (with the N64 inside!) was thankfully not flooded. That lucky girl!! It's actually quite miraculous though considering she has just a mattress laid down on the floor as a bed. I can't even imagine the craziness of it all IF her room had been as messed up as the rest of ours. The worst part is there's nothing we can do to prevent this from happening in the future and in a place like Kingston, I can guarantee you that it can and will!! If it's not pouring rain outside, there's a blizzard and the strong winds on top of that don't make things any better! I remember MANY umbrellas lost last year due to Kingston's freak weather. So far the super is saying there's not much he can do if we can't pinpoint where the water is coming in from. OMG this sucks!!! =(

Some happy news to ease up on the misery. I finally found a job...at the school library!! =) Granted it isn't exactly the dream job I was hoping for of doing some chem related stuff in the lab but having something at least is a huge relief. I had my first training session today taking a long tour of the whole 5 floors of the library and learning the shelving system. It's not too complicated at all and I'm glad to report that I'm picking it up pretty quickly. =) Training session number 2 is tomorrow!! Hope it goes just as well. =)
