Happy March

Mid-March. My mood matches the weather lately- overcast and gray. I don't want to be around anyone. Everybody is pissing me off- including myself. I am pissing myself off too

Proudly Canadian

We won 14 gold medals- 2 gold medals in Hockey! YAHOO!

Back to Reality

Back in Korea and back at work. Bummed- vacation went by WAY too fast. It was awesome to see my family and spend time at the beach. I developed an allergic reaction to the sun mid way through my break and was covered in a painful, itchy rash. FUN stuff.

I've applied for some other jobs in Mexico, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. I am leaning towards Mexico but if the one in Saudi Arabia comes through- I amy do that one. The money in Saudi Arabia is awesome! The money in Mexico- not so awesome.

Por fin!

Finally! My vacation has arrived. It has been a long time coming. I am incredibly cranky and tired. I haven't been home in almost 2 years and haven't seen my family just as long. I have been in Korea for almost 18 months straight. It is time for my mental health break. It is much needed and oh so long over due. I like my job- don't love it- but I need to be near some "normal". I put normal in quotes as Korea is not so unusual, it just isn't my culture and things sometimes just seem SO strange. It is a generally nice population and their culture is, well theirs. Can't shit on them for that. I am used to Canada and the diversity; to not being the minority- I know that sounds uber harsh but it's true.

I am currently sitting at the gate for my flight to Chicago. I have 3 hours until boarding time. I can't wait to get on the plane and sleep. I am so tired. I think the flight is 13 hours. LOTS of time to sleep. I am charging the battery to my laptop and I hope it is fully charged before I have to board.

Positive Thinking....

Is going to get me through this. Figured out the credit card situation. I am pretty screwed financially. It is going to take me years to restore my credit score. That's OK. I'll live. I'm young. I have paid off the credit card and cancelled it. I have one credit card left- with a very small limit- only 500 dollars. That I can handle. Once a month I will make a small purchase on it and then pay it off right away. All this in hopes of restoring my credit rating. THANK GOD I have my mortgage paid off- PHEW! One check in the positive column for me.

2010 has started out with a bang

My credit card number was stolen. That's all kinds of fun. Smiling- I know I'll get through this. It's set me back hugely emotionally and financially. My credit is now for sure SHOT to shit. Going to take me years to get back into good standing! FECK!

Welcome to 2010

Well it is officially the new year! I survived and the world didn't end.
