Josh and I got back from London around noon today. Traffic on the 401 was pretty good, so we made great time, unlike our trip to London on Saturday. On the way there, there was some oh-so-wonderful construction on the 401, bottle-necking it down to a single lane.
One!
One lane on the 401 West.
Insanity.
Insanity I tell you.
Anyway, when we finally made it there, it was all good. Jim hadn’t arrived yet, so Josh and Shane and I all went out for dinner at Kelsey’s. It was very good, Josh had a chicken breast sandwhich thingy, Shane has a steak (medium-well, when everyone knows the proper way to eat steak is medium-rare! ^_~ ) and I had the rib and wing combo. Mmmm-mmm! ^_^
Then we went back to Shane’s place, where Josh and Shane played computer games, and I fell asleep on the couch. They woke me up, and we all went out to see Finding Nemo. It was a very good movie, I recommend you all see it! Then we all went home to Shane’s, where I fell asleep again, and Josh and Shane played more computer games.
Jim showed up around 9:20 am Sunday, waking everyone up. ^_^
Much gaming ensued. Including me playing Monster Rancher 2 all day ^_~
All-in-all, it was a very nice weekend. As well, Shane is going to give Josh’s resume to his boss, so hopefully Josh can get a job at StarTech. (*ahem* note to Josh: send your resume to Shane!) That would kick ass. It would mean being apart from Josh for quite some time before I can move to London; I still have 8 months of Seneca, then I’m off to Guelph for a year. This part would suck mightily, but it’s not too far of a drive from here, (and it’s much closer to Guelph) and it would be worth it for Josh to have a good job.
Here’s the fantastical long-range plan we came up with. It would actually kick some pretty sweet ass if it somehow actually worked out like this:
Josh gets job at StarTech. Josh moves to London and rooms with Shane. I stay here in TO with the cat until May, visiting London as much as possible while staying within my gasoline budget.
May rolls around. I go to Guelph for a year, visiting London as much as possible.
Another year passes. Josh and I buy a house in London. We’d like to settle down there anyway. I could possibly get a lab job at the Labatt plant in London, since I’ve worked at the Metro Labatt’s for almost a year now, so I’ve got an in. Even if I can’t get in there, there’s plenty of lab jobs in London for a girl with a diploma, a degree, and a year of industry experience. Shane could rent our basement, which would be a good basement, and not a little hole of a basement like we live in here.
So huzzah. That would be cool. It’s more long-range than most plans, but we’re taking one step at a time. Step One being sending Shane Josh’s resume. ^_~
T’was a good weekend. ^_^
Tomorrow is Canada Day!
