a whole day? just for.. caring?!

so this week was my first at my new job.. the place is flippin huge, and its total corporation. the ppl i have met so far are pretty nice, and the environment seems pleasant enough. i gotta say though, the colors are a bit drab. we need some more vibrancy in there. ha!

anyways yesterday instead of going to work, it was ibm's annual 'day of caring'.. so i hitched a ride w/ becca up to sauga to meet everyone else at gifts in kind canada. there we were put into teams, and we were told what to do.. packing gifts for children! we made these back to school kits for kids.. it was fun times. such a sweatshop haha we worked like dogs.. everyone was so sweaty and tired. but it was well worth it. there was a prize for the team that did the best, so all these old guys on my team were like all about ruthless efficiency. ie no time to go to the bathroom, doing work during lunch, etc. haha at the end, our team completed 540 some odd bags.. which equaled to 54 bags/person on our team.. the winning team had fewer total bags, but more bags per person. but since it was only like .3 bags off, they gave both our teams prizes.. so i got a cooler/radio. haha funny stuff, i gave it to james as his belated bday present. haha im so smart. or something. haha

afterwards, met up with jenbo!! got to see her new place, which i hear now has grass, and also her fat bunny. apparently she also told me that we gotta let spidey out more. and that putting him in the basement with no lights will make him.. sad. riiiight :D anways, hung around trying to think of something to do.. finally we decided to go to chapters to see if we could find something to burn our encounter gift certs on.. didnt really find anything too interesting, except a jokes book of answers. which really didnt make sense when we tried it out. so we left and got some ice caps, then jenbo drove me back to meet up w/ becca. thanks for the fun times budsy! remember, next time, agenda! haha have a fun time in hk. well, the drive back with becca was fun too, we had a good talk about some people and i think we're gonna have some fun with our friends haha. thanks for the ridessssss..

anyways thats that. hope you're all doing well. tomorrow morning i have an 8am meeting, followed by softball, mixer, and prolly more softball. oh the fun never stops. [stop this ride i want to get off] anyways have a great weekend! see y'all around.
