The whole summer, I had my game face on ready to get back to school. Now it's here, and has been here for a few weeks. My burning desire to be the best or at least one of them is gone, I really don't feel like doing really well like I normally do.
No desire to over achieve. 70s would probably be fine anyways right?

I am without urges
Uneventful day...
I don't get women, "oh David, you never include me in your life, I don't feel like I am a part of it" what kinda crap is that? Selfish. I don't want to sacrifice time out of my day to come and see you when I could be chillin, sleepinn, gymin, eatin, studyin or doin nothin.
I don't like women very much. Well maybe I just like my routine a lot more, probably closer to the truth. I can't help but believe in me.

Nice guys finish last
I am 100% up to date with all work as of day one.
Feels good.
The only thing I haven't done is buy some of the textbooks. With regard to that I have decided to only buy one, fluid mechanics. I printed Solid, and will share the rest or not get them.
Austerity is my middle name. That or I am cheap, the former sounds alot more professional. If spending money on stuff that I really don't want, i.e. textbooks was a female, well...she wouldn't be my type.

Weekends the week begins
Deep title eh? Deep.
Well, this is it…and by that I mean I still have tomorrow left. Who is counting? I will certainly miss a lot of things, dressing like a boss, the laughs with the good people, the crazy customers, Renn St. Bernard’s singing [yes that is his name, he is a holy man indeed], Jim and I working together without fighting and David A. in Workforce Management.
I got a very nice reference letter from HR, let us hope I can use it to leverage my ass into a nice City of Toronto placement next summer, benefits, easy work. Just talkin’ about money, I ain’t concerned right?
One thing I won’t miss is that hum, that White noise which exists seemingly unheard by regular patrons of office buildings. Given that I work later in the evening and night, the office is relatively empty, minus my department. It is therefore a consequence of such emptiness that I am washed in this White noise. It is annoying, and once you start thinking about it you cannot “unhear” it. New word for you kids.
Finally, eating alone…everyday for the last 3 months, would be 4 but during training in May I had lunch with well, lots of people. But I digress, the last three months, Monday to Friday at or about the time period of 8 to 8:30 pm. Hopefully at school I won’t have to eat alone anymore, probably the worst thing ever. Definitely.
From now my challenges are merely those of theory.
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die
I can really say that my customer service skills have improved. Dealing with people is less of a challenge now as I have experience leveraging their own uncertainties and questions against them. Anything to close an order, anything. I plan on utilizing these hard earned skills in my coming battle with Rogers. If memory serves the seventh of September ends my 3 year contract I started with Rogers when I began my journey at U of T (a journey which takes a new path the very same day). With the end of a contract comes Retention, a verbal joust where a Rogers rep tries to convince me to stay, and I sucker them out of as much money as I can. Get your fucking game face on.
