For the third time in seven years, I'm in the States while Canada Day celebrations are going on north of the 49th parallel. I'm disappointed to not be up there, but my sister is visiting, so that's nice, at least. (And I'll get to see fireworks on Tuesday night ( Read more... )

I just logged in to JobMine to double-check that my information was current and up-to-date. I took a quick peek at the "Application List", and it is still listing the jobs that I began to apply to almost 6 months ago.

Since my parents have gone to a high school reunion for the weekend, maroon_lagoon and I took the Fed Bus home yesterday. It was my first time (successfully) taking the Fed Bus.
