So I'm coming home.

I can't really deal with the whole Grandma being sick while I'm over here thing. I'm the only member of the family that isn't there for her right now. I am perfectly aware that being about 7000 km away is a good excuse for not being there, but it doesn't change how hard it is.

Plus I really hate my job, and I'm tired of feeling so out of my element. And their sanitation practices give me the heebie jeebies. They're not bad like 'people will get sick' bad, but I'm pretty sure that if Health Canada walked in they would be like 'Close. Now.'
They don't keep any of their cloths in sanitizer (and they have seperate cloths for milk, soy, and signature chocolate) and they use paper towel to wipe their counters. Also they touch the inside of the cups when they mark them (EW) and no one really seems to wash their hands that much. So like I said - no one will get sick, but we have such higher standards in Canada that it's weird for me.

It's not all bad though (although the emo tone of pretty much every entry since I got here may suggest otherwise :P) the people that I work with are pretty great - everyone is really nice about my Grandma and they all want to know about Canada a lot. Plus I LOVE the architecture here. All the old buildings are so awesome! I am going to venture off north next week after I'm done work and waiting for my flight - there are a couple of buildings that I haven't hit up yet. And all the museums in the country are free! I love that so much. The art gallery was really cool - too bad you're not allowed to take pictures lol.

Oh and I saw a guy full on chugging a bottle of Crown Royal while walking down the street. Awesome. That was right before I saw a group of people in Guy Fawkes masks a la 'V for Vendetta' doing the Time Warp in the middle of Picadilly Gardens...who wouldn't love this city?

But yeah, that's the update for now...
Bobbi - if you read this (I have no idea if you do haha) before I get back - can I have a job? I hear you need daytime people!

See you all soon - 13 days to go.

Time Warp!? What?! Oh I wish I could have been there! Remember when we did the Time Warp at work? Were you there? I can't remember the details, all I know is that we were doing it. And it was awesome. There was something else that I going to add but now it has escaped me. Bleh.
