Here it is, Thursday already! So far, so good at work; an unexpected and welcome turn of events. If this continues I will have to rename my negative coworker!
The job interview and test went well yesterday afternoon. I don’t expect to hear anything back from them for weeks and weeks; better to know this will happen than to wonder. That possibility will go on the back burner until further notice. A response to another application I sent out was bluntly rejected. However, the fact that feedback was offered is something to be appreciated in this day and age.
It has been cold here, but not as cold as it has been in other parts of Canada. We have snow here, but not as much snow as they have in other parts of Canada. Attila is kept busy with splitting wood and building fires. He is keeping Mist and I warm and comfortable. My desk is near the outer wall of the house, well away from the masonry fireplace, so that I must bundle up well to sit for any length of time, as it is quite chilly. I could move the furniture around, but have yet to envision a functional configuration. Fortunately, I’ve lots of warm sweaters, socks and slippers to keep me snug.
Terra has a birthday this week, Happy Birthday Terra! The past year has been a very good one for Terra, she accomplished a lot: she graduated and found a great job (although not perfect yet).
I need help from fellow Canadians.
As I’ve mentioned before, I have anaphylaxis. Food labeling is a life or death issue for me, and others. The new labeling laws in Canada have not been passed yet and I need help. I will be submitting my views to Minister Stockwell Day, the President of the Treasury Board, and to Prime Minister Stephen Harper using this reliable and respectable web site: http://www.allergicliving.com/petitions/food-labelling/. The Finance Canada And Treasury Board Secretariat has already viewed this entry, very quick to monitor public reaction. It would be great if other bloggers included this link for their readers.
Spread the word if you can.
As far as I can tell, it is the food industry that is lobbying against labeling laws. My life is worth more than their profits.
Maggie, have you got an electric heating pad that you can lay on your lap? My friend Cathy gave me one to use when I’m at her house, which is cool relative to what I’m used to, and that little heating pad is a lifesaver!
I’m glad to hear things with the co-worker are looking up.
Kate, the electric heating pad is a great idea! When I’m reading Mist likes to sleep on my lap, keeping us both cozy and warm.
