Scheduled Life

I’m a routinist, yes I just made up a word. A routinist is someone who always follows a schedule or routine.

Everyday I get up at the same time, have a shower, get dressed and then pop two pieces of bread in the toaster. After standing in the kitchen aimlessly for 2 minutes the toaster pops and I smother the toast with peanut butter and raspberry jam.

I then go off to work and show up at the same time everyday, which is about an hour before I really have too. I eat lunch at the same time everyday. Then of course I come how cook a meal and plop myself in front of the TV for the evening entertainment. Finally at about 9:30pm I head off to bed where I’ll read for about an hour.

Done. That is my routine. No it doesn’t sound all that different from most people, but at the age of 20, I have a routine of an old man, or something.
schedule
Sure everyone once and a while I’ll go crazy with the routine. I’ll change from toast to yogurt, or eat out instead of in, but I quickly go back to my, safe, routine.

The reason I bring this up is because I have never really known anything else. I have always gone to sleep relatively early and then gotten up and gone to work earlier than most. You can say that attitude is in my blood or I just acquired it throughout highschool. So what is so weird is seeing others routines. Both my roommate and boss have bizarre routine, if any. My roommate, who is the boss mans younger brother, and I all work at the same place, we do different things, and we have different schedules. Like last night for example. All three of us were at the office at about the same time all day yesterday, and at 5pm we all left and when home. I came home and cooked supper and what not, but roommate and boss went home and slept for a couple hours, I can’t do this, then just as I’m about to go to sleep, roommate gets up and goes back into work.

I understand that we all work differently, and this post is merely an observation. What I find interesting is, that according to Facebook and emails, they would have left the office again at around 4am. Which makes it only an hour before I got up, I don’t here anything while sleeping so I can’t be certain.

I wonder when I will see either of them today? Noon? The funny thing is I feel like the dull one, by doing the same thing every single day.

Am I?

Big Bed Build Bonanza

It has been 4 weeks since I moved down to Fort St John and all this time I have been sleeping on an Air Mattress. I’m not complaining, actually I can sleep on almost anything and it still be comfortable. That being said I thought it was time to get a real bed. That didn’t last long since I wanted something smaller and compact for my room.

I ended up getting a neat little sofabed from Jysk. It fold in a couple ways.

Keep This In Mind

Keep this in mind. If you don’t hear from me for a couple days it either means one of two things. Either I’m doing something really really ridiculously fun and don’t have time or the energy to write about it. Or I’m so incredibly bored I can’t think of anything to write.

So either really cool or really bored. Either or. You decide.

A Coffee Shop For You

Like the two other towns I have lived in I have found my coffee shop. And by “my coffee shop” I mean a coffee shop in which I feel comfortable sitting and spending time in. In Yellowknife it was, obviously, Gourmet Cup, but I didn’t mind Javaroma either and in Dawson Creek it was Cafe Europa. Both were nice, relatively small and the owners were delightful to deal with.

Now I have found that here in Fort St John at a little shop called Patch Java. The shop was called Cosmic Grounds before new owner Devon Wrigglesworth reopened the space as Patch Java in May of 2010.

I admire owners like Devon, not to say the other coffee shop owners in town are different, I just haven’t met them yet. He is the type of owner that is at the forefront. Always working on the front line, serving customers, socializing and making sure that everyone is satisfied.

With a different lunch special everyday of the week, I don’t think I’m going to get bored of this place. Oh and did I mention the free WiFi, yeah that is good too.

The problem with me and coffee shops is I have the overwhelming urge to get behind the counter and make drinks. Not to boost or anything, but I make a damn good latte and with the proper jug I can even style it with some fancy latte art.

But I digress I’m am glad I have the skills but happy at with where I am currently. Although I do intent to start writing down all the drink special I have in my head. Muddy Snowman, Kyle’s Choc Chip Frozen Mocha, Haystack Latte, and so on.
