My brother is an ass for saying he'd go skiing and then copping out. At the last minute. As per frigging usual.

I know I have a tendency to bail on things I've (usually) casually committed to, but at least I'm nowhere near as bad as my idiot brother.

As least Pop's got me, even if I don't particularly feel like skiing. I said I'd go. I'm going.

Maybe he and I will complain about my brother to pass the 45 minute drive up. ;)

Ugh.

I have to leave for work in like, half an hour. At the latest. And I am sooooooo tired. Also, headachey.

My idiot brother is, as usual, nowhere to be found. You'd think his having a cell phone would enable us to reach him more easily. But no.

See, I've got "his" car sitting in the parking lot of my building at the moment. (It's really not his, but he seems to drive it the most and refers to it as his.)

The plan was this:

I'd come back to town Saturday night, then Sunday afternoon, I'd drive to the house and he would drive me to work, thereby regaining possession of "his" car.

It all makes sense, doesn't it?

Alas, my brother is not reachable at this time, which means I get to drive to work and park there and then, after work, IF I've been able to reach him, I'll drive to the house and he'll drive me home. As it stands, I might just keep the car until tomorrow evening when our parents come home.

Also, I really don't want to go to work. I called the scheduling line to see if there were any cancellations and, interestingly, they don't say anything about Saturday or Sunday, only Friday. Normally, they update the message on that line for the whole weekend at once. This has given me the teeniest ray of hope that there is no work today. I'm sure there is, though. Last week, the welcome message upon logging in was "Remember, the call centre is closed next Monday, September 5th, for Labour Day".

Didn't say anything about Sunday the 4th. :P

Prayers/happy thoughts/good vibes for a short and/or cancelled shift, however, are very welcome.

I don't know why I dread the 7 hour shift so much. It really wasn't that bad last week, and we often get a short shift on Sundays. All told, I probably only work for five and a half hours, since I have 45 minutes of breaks and I take washroom breaks a LOT since I drink an obscene amount of water while at work. Each washroom break is 4-6 minutes, depending on if I fill up my water bottle or which bathroom I go to... And that adds up. So, really, I don't work THAT much, even on a Sunday.

I'm looking forward to the paycheque I'll get not this coming Friday but the next. I think I'll clear $350, which will be nice.

... yeah, procrastination doesn't mean that you still don't have to GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET TO WORK, unfortunately, so I'm going to go get dressed and head out.

Have a good Sunday, peoples.

Meme!

Instead of doing my Lit Review...

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] mittens83...

List 10 things in a day that give you a moment of joy, and tag five of your friends:

1) Seeing the sunlight reflect through the clouds.
2) A cool breeze on a warm day.
3) The first star in the evening.
4) Seeing a certain person's name on my caller ID.
5) Knowing NHL hockey is back, and that my team is going to do just fine in its division.
6) Lying in bed, just before falling asleep or just after waking up, and enjoying the comfort of my room.
7) Email!
8) Knowing the bus schedule well enough that I can leave my house and make it to the bus stop 9 times out of 10 without having to run for it or having to wait more than a minute.
9) The St-Lawrence river sparkling bright blue in the distance.
10) Being there for any of my friends, whatever the reason they need me.

Like [livejournal.com profile] mittens83, consider yourselves all tagged, 'cause I don't know who to pick out.

Leaving in an hour or so to head out to see T's wife, A, sing. JB will be there, although a little late, but she'll be there! Yay. :) Now, if only I could track down my good-for-nothing brother to determine whether or not he has the car, so *I* can take it and not need to take the metro.

Now to see if I can get some RM stuff done...
