Chasing Waterfalls

I just read this article. The shorter version is: a woman is driving herself to the hospital to give birth, stops at a gas station and promptly gives birth right there, in her car, in front of one of the attendants.
There are a bunch of mix-ups in calls to the police about this - first […]

Thank you for all the comments so far about my career hunting!
As for the idea of journalism… Well, that’s another area I wish I’d gone into. I thought about it when I was at McGill, during my first year, when I realized that psych wasn’t for me (because I decided that becoming a criminal […]

I hate making other people’s travel arrangements.
It probably wouldn’t be so bad if everyone involved was on the same page. The guy who’s going - on a business trip, mind you - wants an oceanfront view and a nice hotel - and by “nice” I mean a 4-star kind of place.
The one who’s paying for […]

For the past while, I’ve really been trying to find some kind of career path that would lead to a job I’d really enjoy and that would pay me enough to live semi-comfortably (meaning: I don’t need to be rich, although that’d be nice of course, but I just don’t want to be scraping money […]

This day is not going at all how I imagined it would.
Instead of a quiet, productive day, I’ve had requests (some urgent) thrown at me, not one at a time, but several piled on and on, so that I’ve felt like I’m being pulled in several different directions at once.

What a great weekend that, as always, went by much too quickly.
We headed up to Rawdon on Friday morning, relaxed, ate lunch, watched our soap. My mom and I took my nanny up to that apartment she’d seen last week. It’s a beautiful place, with brick walls, a good-sized working kitchen, a sky-light, and so […]

Oh. My mom is going to be so mad.
And it was such a great show, too.

I am so unbelievably happy that I have tomorrow off. I’ll be up at a decent time because we’ll be heading up to Rawdon, but still - getting up at 9 am is much better than 6:30. I’m thinking of telling everyone at work that I’m going up north tonight, though, just in case they […]

I will give my grandmother one thing: she is persistent. Apparently, my sister and I don’t get our stubborn streak only from my father’s side.
If you’ve been reading for a little while, you’ll know that my nanny agreed to sell the house. The papers are signed, the deed is done, with a very important clause: […]

I will never understand some protestors.
A bit of background:
The premier of the province of Quebec has decided to take money out of the government fund meant to help students seeking post-secondary education through loans, bursaries, etc. Now, I’m not too fond of this guy either, for a number of reasons, which basically revolve around him […]
