Working Girl

Welcome friends, to my place of written word.
We last left off with my sleeping-pill-haze of a post, the night before I started at my new job.
A lot has changed since that night.

I now spend...
my mornings getting ready for my 7am train

my evenings getting ready for my 10pm bedtime
5 days a week in Toronto
15 hours a week commuting
my lunch hour with a quirky bunch of Quebecois/bilingual speakers
my every waking second living and breathing travel insurance

And to be honest, right now, I wouldn't have it any other way, though I never in my life wanted to know as much as I currently do about insurance =/
There are 2 more important issues that have arisen out of this situation however, that I feel I must address....

9-5ers, please tell me when it is that you are able to make your appointments? Or get errands done? Why does the world shut down by the time I get home?
Why do I need to keep wearing saftey pins in the hems of my work pants because I can't take them in to get hemmed?!
WHY?!
The other is concerning my current living situation.
Though my commute is fairly enjoyable and I don't mind waking up early in the morning (so long as I keep getting my paycheques) I feel stupid wasting 3 hours a day across from a wo/man in a business suit with their mouth open, earphones in, sunglasses on, snoring throughout the train ride.
I desperately want to move downtown.
So that is the plan. It will take some time, as I have a fair few bills to save myself from... but come 2012, I will be living downtown.
And I will feel swanky doing it.
Swanky Bubbles.
Just saying.
She gets it.
