Getting a phone plan is harder than you'd think

Phone plans are apparently described in gibberish. Here is an example:

The prepaid $100 Turbo Cap plan gives you:
- $100 MyCredit
- $800 MyBonus
- $600 Pre-paid money
- 1GB My Data

We have to ask about system access fees, voicemail, call display, etc. You're not allowed to add extra things to the plans (i.e. $5 for unlimited weekends or upgrade your data plan). Worst of all, we need to open a bank account just to get a phone plan! The banks were closed today so this will have to wait until Monday.

Really didn't think I'd be homesick

But I am. In fact, I started getting homesick in Hawaii. As silly as it sounds, I didn't fully appreciate how far "half way across the world" really is until the 12 hr flight to Hawaii and being only halfway to our final destination. I miss my dog. I miss my friends. I miss my house. I miss my family. I miss Toronto food. I miss familiarity.

Once we get settled and I have a better feel for the city, I'm sure I'll feel better. Aside from having Steve by my side, I feel really isolated at the moment. I hope people really do come and visit us when they said they would. I could definitely use some friendly faces!

I envy people who are passionate about their work

Or do I?

I like my job. For something that I have to do 8 hrs a day to make a living, I enjoy it. Do I love it, no? Are there jobs that I would be passionate about? Probably. Am I qualified for them? Probably not.

I've always envied people who are passionate about their work. But I wonder how they feel about other things. I think what I really envy are people who are passionate about their life. Work is a necessary evil. It's exponentially more impressive if you have a crappy job and can still be passionate about life.

I'm using the term "envy" loosely. I'm in a very good place right now where I don't envy anyone. I don't know if I'm in the "passionate about life" category. I think I'm in the "happy and grateful about life" category. I wonder if I'm too lazy to be passionate haha.
