three cheers to kindness
so today I picked up some papers for marking. apparently these two page papers are supposed to take me five minutes. sweet. apparently i am the marking equivalent of a microwave dinner.
anywhoo after I picked up the papers I was like "I am going to loose these" so I kept my focus on them like you wouldn't believed. had that plastic bag clutched tight in my hand. so I am on the subway and I am sitting down and we get to the stop and I realize it is mine. so the doors are about to close and I get up and out of that train fast. then a plastic bag hits me in the back of the leg. i turn around and a woman is looking at me, and i look at her, then I look down and I see the bag full of papers. Holy shit. that was close. So that woman is my favourite person in toronto. wherever she maybe I hope her bed feels extra warm tonight and she has nothing but the loveliest of dreams. I would have been so fucked.
that was after I went for dinner with nrinder. which was good. it was at fresh, which to be honest isn't really my cup of tea, though they do make a mean sweet potato frie, especially when it is dunked in miso gravy. it was good to see nrinder. she was here for this labour educators design workshop at OISE which I went to. That was good stuff actually, and there were free sandwhiches - hip hip. I like having dinner with nrinder, she is really good at her job, but she is really laid back and I like talking to her about her work stuff, and her family stuff, and her new house. this all makes sense as we are what the french call "les homies." it is funny talkig to someone whose bosses resignation was in the new york times, and her talking about the exec meeting where he did his resignation speech.
today i managed to also screw up the time of the OISE town hall meeting. so that was good work on my part.
tommorow i am off to scenic windsor where I will be presenting at a labour studies conference and hanging out with my friend jared. let the good times roll.
