The current evaluation of life in general: first off, I am being made permanent in the higher-level job I had been replacing someone in. That's cool. I sometimes find it very trippy that 3 years ago I made $7.96/hour, and now I just bought a cute little red Honda and it's a bit surreal to be able to afford things that I used to wonder how people afforded.

Two months ago I was *this close* to heading back to Montreal. The one thing about not being permanent was that it allowed me a measure of indignance that would allow me to storm away in a snit, and I found comfort in that.

I am fortunate. Sometimes I still wonder if I can accept this as 'it'. Part of me still fantasizes that I will manage to live some fabulous life.
