God moves in mysterious ways--and fast. This Wednesday I have an interview at Toronto Botanical Garden in the north end of town. It's a permanent position with benefits and it's something I think I can enjoy far more ( Read more... )

Following the newest trend of reviving old TV shows for new audiences, tonight saw the return of Dallas, giving TV viewers somethint to talk about until Mad Men comes back. Rather than rebooting, however, they are picking up where they left off. Bobby, Pam, J.R., and Sue Ellen are all still around. The action, however, mainly focuses on the foibles ( Read more... )

Things are finally beginning to settle down now. I had furniture delivered over the weekend: a sofa and a queen-sized bed. Finally I won't be using the same piece of furniture for both tasks. The rest of my furniture has been slowly moving down here from Cambridge, piece by piece. It's going to be a bit tougher considering it's all been brought ( Read more... )

My boss mentioned that Transit Windsor had been interested in running shuttles from the university to the train station. I said that it was a good idea because ( Read more... )

I think my interview went well. Their questions about public interaction had me referring back to my Home Despot days; hopefully that won't work against me. They liked my sense of humour. And surprise, surprise: one of my interviewers and I have a common relative. Six degrees of separation don't exist in Windsor; it's rare to have more than two ( Read more... )

I have a job interview for 9:45am tomorrow morning at Windsor Regional Hospital. I didn't even have to book time off for it; I had already booked the day off because I'm taking the train home for the weekend. Not that it would have mattered as everyone knows I'm applying for it. My current job ends in August so it's hardly a surprise that I'm ( Read more... )
