As this was turning into a rant of its own on Res' LJ...

I grew up being compared to my cousins by my aunts and uncles, even though, really I never did anything worse than they did. Now, I am constantly in the shadow of my oh-so-wonderful (I love here, really, I do!) stepsister, who's, like 30, went to University, taught English in South Korea for a year, and is now living a more than decent life in Australia (she actually managed to save up enough money that she is, right now, having a sabbatical and trekking around Australia with her Aussie boyfriend), and I even think that her citizenship application is close to being accepted...

I am the underachiever in this family, but no one seems to remember that I had to quit College because my own father, instead of saving up the alimony money, spent it on a large screen TV, so that I couldn't buy my books for the fall semester of my second year. Which, obviously, did not get me anywhere closer to Film Studies. Then, I was told that I needed to take up a trade that would be involving a short duration course, because, damn, you're nearly 19 and you're still not on the job market! FUCK the job market! I am planning to go to Univ. you stupid people! You don't get out of University by the time you're 19, usually. But still, it was either that, or my parents were not paying for another semester of College or for me to be able to have an apartment to survive. And they are telling me I had the choice to keep it up with the Film School plan! I had no fucking choice! I was told, straight out, you take up a trade, whatever you want, but no more University plans, or we won't help you out monetary anymore! How is that having a choice? *kicks parents in the shins*

*sighs* I will be trying to go back to school, and hopefully, I will be accepted in Adult Education. I will try to see if I can get an appointment with a guidance counselor at Concordia U. It's right next to here, so I should be able to go during a lunch period, but that won't be until I have the money to pay for the damn appointment, if they do charge, when you're not registered yet. There is no way I am going to Ryerson U, as it's in Toronto and they have very high standards of acceptance, anyway Concordia is only second to Ryerson for their Film Studies program. And, for the parents thing not wanting me to do what I really like, well, FUCK YOU!

People have MONEY...

I finally got that fax, yesterday, and sent a fax to Crystal Cruises for them to process that takeover in our name, and, lo and behold, travel agent calls today to ask me if that was finalized as she already has the cheque in house for deposit... that fekkin' file is worth $231,694.00 US dollars. That is a carload of money, people.

Also, I was doing some work figuring out fuel surcharges on air today, and kept seeing DOM/TANGO which basically means Domestic/Tango (which is a branch of Air Canada) and it kept freaking me out... Dom really is taking over the world, he was mentioned in Sabre today...

Passports are fun!

I ended up having to bring my passport to work tomorrow, because my birth certificate was not a valid piece of identification for the ship inspection we're having next week... The only problem is, I might be refused for the inspection since they sort of had a deadline for us to provide the proper information, but the thing is, we heard only yesterday that we were getting this inspection done, and we were never told that we couldn't give a birth certificate number. So maybe my boss will be able to bitch at them enough for me to be able to go. We shall see tomorrow...

Okay, who the heck cut my hair and why does it seem to slant one way... and my crossbite is a little bit apparent on this picture *wrinkles nose*
