GC and I marched in the Pride parade last weekend! First time for both of us. I was working there and GC volunteered to pitch in. It was a terrific event for people-watching.

Watch my life unravel...

This is what my day looks like so far: 9:00-12:00 – all-staff meeting at work to do a SWOT analysis of the organization (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) 2:00-3:30 – Conference Call 3:30 – meeting with funder 5:30-6:30 – House of Commons to watch Bill C-279 being debated. That’s the private member’s bill to amend the […] So far at my new job I’ve been immersing myself in reports and files and getting up to speed on the subject matter and my projects.

On my last day of work, they took me out for a lovely lunch and presented me with a swap box (!) filled with goodies like antique office supplies and a bird’s nest […] Thursday was one of those days. I’m still figuring out the buses on my commute to and from work, and I somehow got myself turned around at the Billings Bridge Transitway and ended up taking the 148 in the wrong direction. And then, when I got to work, I realized I’d forgotten my security pass […] I haven’t been sucked into the pre-operative vortex – I’m still here but I’ve been unusually busy with the usual medical stuff, PLUS I’ve managed to pick up some consulting work for a few days each month. It’s interesting work – I’m adapting a print magazine for the web. Among other things, I get to […] |
