can you tell i have time on my hands. this is my third post in 2 days...
i have a lot of waiting to do on this job, since my company is just observing and we dont need to be part of the set up... so one of the first things i do in the morning is wait for the other guys to set up, which can take from an hour to a few hours depending on what is being set up.
ne ways, to my pet peeves:
- there are way too many parking spaces / parking lots / parking garages and other parking complexes in general in cleveland. theyre mostly empty ne way!!!
- people drive way to slow here. i mean EVERYONE is going the speed limit and not one mph over. i feel like im moving around at the rate of a turtle!
- yesterday, my cab driver was drivng the entire trip from the botanical gardens to my hotel at 35 mph. when he saw a cop, he slowed down even more! and then, he started to slow down at EVERY SINGLE intersection!!!
- too many people begging for money in downtown cleveland, when there's barely anyone here
- people seem to have nothing better to do but chat uptourists. i guess i must have "tourist" written on my forehead or seomthing
- sports maniacs. i didnt even know that cleveland indians or cubs or browns was a team before last week. too many sports bars to cater to these sports maniacs.
- weather is so crappy. it was a beautiful weekend, but the entire week was bad. and this week looks the same too. apparently this is normal clevelane weather. blah!!!
- this job has too many rules. we had to wait almost 15 min for a door to a room to be opened. its not even occupied!!! its empty, and we just stored all our stuff in there. too many rules, and everything has to go back to one guy.
- i hope i dont get fat from eating out for 2 weeks straight. i try to order healthy stuff, but i dont know if it does much good.
- whats the big deal bout the grand prix? its here in cleveland this weekend. well, the weekend that just passed.
- o another one about cleveland! everything down town closes really early!!! like before or at 6pm! ok, mebbe not evertyhing, but a lot of things. and there isnt much selection for shopping either. or anything except eating out.
- i miss brampton, waterloo, and toronto. i miss boston. boston is pretty similar to toronto, minus the bad drivers, and narrow and crazy roads.
- people always say "z" as zee instead of zed.
- im not sure how i'll go back to no air conditioning...
- this isnt a pet peeve, but i cant wait to move into myhouse with con and elaine! im so excited! im really enjoying my work term, but i'll be ready for a change soon. and i kinda like hitting the books every 4 months. its straight forward. we'll see, i might regret saying that after a few weeks of FIVE technical electives!! lol...
- still waiting... mebbe i should watch the test set up. letsee if theyre doing ne thing yet.
