Correction: Yesterday, I claimed to have reached an elevation of 1500m on my trek. I was wrong. It was probably more like 1000-1200m.

Today was a long day at work. We tried to figure out why the call it White Spot. The official answer is that they used to wear white uniforms, but I think it's a lot deeper than that. I love it when people find out I'm vegan, "but wher edo you get your protein". It's getting really cliche. Do people actually think the only source of protein on this planet is from the flesh of a fucking cow? So the guy I work with had two weeks off comming up that he'd requested last year in advance, but today, his 2nd last day before taking off, he's told he's gonna have to work two extra shifts and he let them get away with it. I mean, I wouldn't flip out if it was me, I'd just say, "I'm sorry but it's not my problem, I have two weeks off". But he took it. It made me sad. I think I'll be working at least 7 days in a row next week. But after tomorrow night's short shift, i've got 4 days off. So I've decided to make the most of it. I think I'm gonna go check out Strathcona Park, which is the 250,000 hectare jewel of Vancouver Island, with 6 of the tallest mountains, etc, etc. I'm planning on going alone and going for a day hike, maybe even stay a second night too. I dunno, maybe I'll do something completely different.
