"If you fall off that chair I'm not catching you"

The past few days have been marked by some sort of random malady I've picked up. I spent most of Tuesday wanting to lie down; my back, neck & arms hurt, whilst my head seemed to be on fire. I think it was lugging stuff around on the Monday that did it, that's the last time I pick up a shipping box from the loading dock without a trolley. I should also probably use the elevator instead of the stairs. Anyway I'm mostly fine now, even though one of the guys at work thought I was going to fall off a chair at one point. You can't even sway randomly from left to right these days without people saying you're going to fall off this and that. I told one of the guys today he'd have to give me a back massage at some point. I even said I'd brought a Baggie of massage oil and a mix tape.

The main purpose for writing that was so my mum flies into some mad panic about my health and calls the RCMP. I'm running a sweepstake on how long it will be before they knock on my door and your time starts...now!

Some other highlights:

- Almost every person who reads the blog in the UK will have been completely baffled by the last entry. To explain; it was something that relates to most of the people I know in Canada. You know when you can't tell someone an in-joke because they won't know what it means? Kind of like that, but everyone has something.

- Saying "Oh snap!" is cool.

- I ordered a couple of drinks at Quiznos today and the cashier was very confused. You see, I've got to the stage where all of them know me and know the range I usually order from, so deviations from that cause questions. "Is that all? Are you sure?".

- Disaster at The Templeton. The waitress who we know and we thought gave us free drinks may not in fact be giving us free drinks. She just doesn't write them on the ticket. I was there this week and sure enough, no drinks on the ticket. But then closer inspection of the register receipt revealed the worst: Vanilla Coke. This could have been going on for months and we've never noticed.

- For the next two weeks I have a three day weekend. Awesome.

That's it. Oh, anyone want to buy a load of PS3 stuff? Got some good things on sale, stranger.
