Today was spent driving all the way to Mont Saint-Hilaire and back, which is usually ok, but since collecting has been crap there for the last year or more, it was more just to show a colleague from the Smithsonian around. Nice day for it though, and it was interesting to see how much of the quarry they are just bulldozing around into nice neat piles!! And it was DEFINITELY better than yesterday spent in union negotiations!!! Wow, what a hellish procedure that is! Us against them. Will that ever end? I doubt it. I have discovered that my temper flares very easily when compromises are not offered. And when I discover the extent to the spineless, mollusk-type nature of people. Amazing. Completely amazing.
I treated myself to a relaxing evening and went to the Spa Nordik in Chelsea. It was great!!! Totally amazing. I did 4 full cycles of the baths - sauna (10 min), ice-cold waterfall (10 sec), rest (10 min), twice, and then the same but with the steam bath instead of the sauna. Oh my god, the steam room was brutal!! And what a shock to the system to stand under the ice cold water after being in a room that is basically treating you like a lobster and steaming you until you're fully cooked!! Completely awesome. I'm thinking of getting a 10-pass package which saves you $100 off the total cost. Very relaxing and I think that I'm going to try and go every 2 weeks. Definitely a good way to relax after the last week. I'm taking tomorrow off to recoup, sleep, etc. Looking forward to a long weekend.
