Sinfest is a kickass webcomic about a guy, a girl, a pig and a really weird god. LOVE it.

Gawd, has this week been fraught with dramas - not all earth shattering, but stressful enough to give me a serious lack of sleep and a decidedly crusty mood. Irrits in no particular order -

- my new assistant at work quitting, leaving me to work doubly hard and prompting my boss to push me to take on 4-5 days a week at work (when 3-4 is nearly killing me)

- having some problems, and eventually a huge blowout fight with someone

- getting bitched out for someone else's disorganisation regarding group registration for the ECSC (a swing camp Cat and I are going to here), and

- auditioning for a swing dance performance group here in Montreal, and having to wait for the results.

All in all making for a pretty freakin' shitty week.

It's a huge relief, though, that most of this stuff has worked out positively. I finally got to sit down with my boss and really tell her about how I'm unhappy at work, that the stress and physical exhaustion of this shitty job are too much, and to ask her for some time off. Surprisingly she was really cool about it (not really that surprising, I guess, as I know they can't afford to lose me - noone else there knows how to do my job, which gives me sweet bargaining powah).I agreed to take on the odd extra day unitl they find someone else, and I got my days off. And maybe a raise. The best thing, though, is that they now realise that they can't just use me up, that I will stand up for myself, and that I do have some power there. Which is nice.

The problems/blowout thing has very thankfully worked itself out - seems it was needed to realise that there were things that needed fixing. Now they are being worked out, I am mucha mucha happy again. *sigh of relief*

The thing with the registration was just some guy blaming someone else for a miscommunication. It's all done with, and thank god for that. Pfft.

The last thing turned out very happily indeed - after 3 days of convincing myself that I didn't get accepted into the swing team because I'm too big/fat/can't dance etc etc, I got a call from the auditioners saying that I've been accepted into the group (only 4 follows were taken, which is pretty sweet!), which means I start a huge training session - 2 x 2.5 hours a week for 10 weeks - and start learning some serious choreography. Man, Im going to improve so much from this. I got innnnnnnnnnn! *freakinsy girly giggling, jumping around and clapping of hands*

So that's my dramatic week (actually, now I've written it down, it doesn't seem that dramatic any more)... So I'm going to enjoy my beautiful sunny weened of nothingness, and feel happy. *sigh*
