They finally approved my EI claim. Now I'm officially a worthless government mooch!

Rate for my area is pretty good (since Toronto has an unemployment rate of 10% right now... whee!), so I'm good for 44 weeks if it comes to it (God, I hope not). Had two nice job prospects that went nowhere*, but at least I can afford the time to find something decent instead of having a constant heart attack.

*One was pretty funny. It was a motorbike company looking for a parts order desk guy.

They rejected my resumé because I had no dealership experience - even though they were only asking for a guy who had a bike and was "hands on" with it. So they want a bilingual ex-motorbike mechanic with experience running an order desk? Yeah, good luck with that guys!

Since that was through the recruiter (i.e. vague location and no firm name), I might try and figure out exactly what company it is and go hit them up in person. Can't hurt.

Man, Starr and I were trying to rent a truck for the weekend to move some of her stuff out of storage. So we had the kind of usual surprise nonsense where they cancel your reservation without warning. But surprisingly they fixed it for us by moving the reservation to a new location and made sure everything would be kosher.

We were renting through Advantage and had the weirdest experience: every time I called the general customer service line, I actually got the exact same rep. And he actually did an amazing job to sort stuff out instead of just blowing us off! I don't know if they have advanced routing software that makes sure you always get the same guy, or if they just have the one rep for Toronto, but it was always the same guy. And he was fuckin' GOOD. Knew our names, had our confirmation numbers from the day before, called us back before everything was fixed just to apologize for not having an update yet, you name it. I called to leave a compliment for the guy and they put me through to the President's office. 0__o :D

I have literally never had phone service for anything that was this good from any company. It was like the mythical promised land of customer service that you know can exist in theory, but never actually come anywhere close to experiencing. Would buy from again A++ etc.

I actually did have a Good Time on Saturday, but normalcy has been restored and we return you (me) to your (my) regular misery.

I had a date. She's amazing; it went fantastically. I was the happiest I've been in years, and kept smiling to myself even though immediately after said date I had to go work a grueling ten-hour shift and went home exhausted.

I called her Tuesday and she doesn't think we should see each other anymore. I'll just be headed back to Shit Days now, good seeing you all.

Yeah.  When I met kabbage at magfest, I asked him on a date.

He blew me off to have a brofist party with constantine. and get drunk and rant about evangelion for an hour.

Which I lost the recording on.  (sorry, dudebro).

Guys, I had the best two dates this week.

The first guy seemed awesome and I thought it would work out great but he took too long to call me back and I met the only man that can truly keep me safe from the wasp overlords.

I've been the happiest I've been in years, and keep smiling to myself pretty much all week.

Due to my Stats teacher forgetting to add in a 2 point project correction to everyones grades, 7 people (of ~600) moved up a letter grade. Guess who was one of them.
