Chasing Waterfalls

This was a pretty good weekend: it was Kathy’s birthday on Friday, so a group of us went out for supper to celebrate. I had the Mexican Plate (big surprise - me and Mexican food, heh) that included a very yummy quesadilla. A few people left after awhile, but Natalie, Peter, Kathy and I hung […]

Allow me to have a feminist moment, will you?
I heard this story on the radio this morning, and it made me snicker a little bit.
The brief version, if you don’t want to sift through all the data in the article, is this: a study has shown that more women than men are graduating from the […]

I called my aunt this evening to ask her a quick question since she and my uncle are staying with my grandmother for a few days, and ended up chatting with her for about an hour. I was calling because I had a slight scare tonight - when I got home from work, I sat […]

I’ll be late going into work tomorrow.
I still have a bit of that cough and the sniffles from the cold I got while on vacation - that alone wouldn’t necessarily send me to the clinic because sometimes colds just hang around for awhile. But the other night, I looked into my mouth and saw that […]

There are a few different topics I want to write about - some of which have been in the back of mind for the past few days, but which I haven’t found the time or energy to post before.
The Dream
Sadly, I rarely remember my dreams. One night while I was sleeping and Jean Marc was […]

I decided to go with staying on at work for an extra two weeks. Bob wanted me to stay two or three weeks, but I told him I’d only be able to pull off 2. In exchange, he’s going to make sure I can get EI, and although this wasn’t stated, I know I’ll get […]

This entry might have some parallels with Sherry’s, but I’ll try to avoid being too repetitive.
The other day, I briefly mentioned that my godfather, Donald, passed away rather suddenly. He went white water rafting in British Columbia and fell into the water. They managed to resuscitate him, but he suffered a heart attack and passed […]

Well. The deal “Bob” was going to try to make for me isn’t so good anymore.
I waited a better part of the day to hear more about the possibility that a) the Prez would compensate me for my rent for August, and b) they’d put “laid off” on my leaving papers so that I might […]

My godfather died this weekend. He was 60 years old. He went white-water rafting in BC and fell out. They revived him but he had a massive heart attack and passed away. I’m still in shock over it because it just seems so impossible, so I’m going to wait until I can order my thoughts […]

This is going to be a bit picture-heavy, so my apologies if you’re on dial-up. Actually, I’ll probably only take a look at this entry tomorrow at work where I have high-speed, so I’m just hoping that the pics all look okay.
My second home while I was in Halifax, The Lower Deck:
