the first big test
i do well on tests.
we had to do some tests at work, to level set where everyone is. i got 100% on a retail math quiz, and tied for the highest mark in a excel test.
but these tests are easy. all you need to do is study and remember stuff. the real big test for me was when i went to a mall yesterday. because to pass this test, and not buy anything, i would need self control, which you can't study for.
but i passed. i didn't buy anything. i was looking around though. and i almost didn't go to the mall b/c i didn't want to tempt myself, but it was a mall i've never been to before, and i thought of it as research for work. i need to know what the malls look like, get a sense of the demographics of the customers, see what other stores are in it, etc. and this mall was all the way out in mississauga, which without a car, i'd never go to.
but like i said, i do well on tests. is it the end of february yet?

Don't use "research" as an excuse!!! You'll just get tempted to buy something! A recovering alcoholic doesn't go to a liquor store to browse around!!
Random people at work tell me to say hi to you here and there...I forget who though....

i'm not even "recovering" yet. just going cold turkey.
one thing i realized i'm not considering as part of my shopping fast, are concert tickets. besides city and colour, i got tickets to bedouin soundclash. but the concerts aren't until march, so can i consider that a loophole?
