This is more of a personal life update...
I've finally managed to really get a hold on my depression - funnily enough it's actually from micro-dosing with weed (THC oil vaped for ease of use) 3 times a day: upon waking, midday and 5pm. I feel the most stable that I have felt in a while, my only concern is that working with machinery I cannot claim through my insurance or be upfront about my use at work due to the problems that may cause (ironically I have other colleagues with desk based jobs who do)

I have an electric skateboard for getting around and its so much fun and a fast inexpensive way to get around. Spring is heating things up and I can't wait for summer to get here, it just feels so good zipping around on this thing whilst listening to upbeat music.

Work is pretty awesome, after a couple of good work events earlier this year, I've increased my work network and feel like I can choose my next job if I want to stay in the print industry (having declined 3 offers this year). The only thing that I dislike right now are the small-minded arseholes in Quebec - they like to whinge, bitch, insist on 100% perfect French and hold grudges. It makes what could be a beautiful ride a little bumpy.
Right now I'm reducing my outgoing costs, saving and simplifying to return to school next year (sep 19) for medical imaging (x-rays) - I've already been accepted but if I can study without money worries, I'll be champion. I'd like to take my technical problem solving skills with imaging machines and do something positive other than killing the planet...

Stand-up - last week I participated in my first pro-am comedy night (unpaid but a bigger more interactive crowd). It went really well, so much so that I was invited to participate on the musical mondays (still comedy based) with my uke. I'm also going to get involved with other comedy clubs - particularly a bilingual place close to where I live...

Womens - things were going well, I wasn't having trouble finding womens and some of them would even let me hold their hand
Then at the comedy night, a girl who's been hot and cold with me was there and incredibly upfront about how she wanted to "hold my hand" and more, a few good friends and an ex (also wanting to hold my hand). After the show I had 2 girls come and give me their number and another find out what I was drinking and bring me a pint (a real first).
I don't like bragging but I feel like here is the place to share my success - I thought I was holding my own with girls but since last week I would describe my "game" as "slaying mad pussy" as my friend put it...
