Got Work?

Well, with respect to the job I mentioned in my previous post, I was given a call for a second interview but declined to go as I had also received a call from Open Text.

Open Text just happens to be minutes from our house verses the trip to Elmira, now it is just a matter of receiving a call for a second interview from them. I thought the initial interview went well, definitely better than the Monday 8am interview I had with Bend All Automotive, who actually posted the position again.

The temp agency I am registered with has also been giving me quite a few calls with opportunities and I hope that something permanent will come up soon, but I am just waiting in hopes of hearing from Open Text or winning the Super 7 draw, whichever comes first.

Third Time's a Charm?

Last week I had job interviews on Monday and Friday, this week I had an interview yesterday. It seems that I may have finally found something... it is with a family run business in Elmira, home of the Maple Syrup Festival. It is an admin assistant type job and I will provide more details if I happen to get some good news. :)

Too Much TV

I love TV...poor Ken... he at least gets some time to do some blogging while I destroy some brain cells.

Here's my schedule:

Monday

8:00:Fear Factor Couples or 7th Heaven (if ever both shows are new episodes the vcr goes to work, although I don't always watch the tapes)
9:00: Medium (this is a new show and I just started to watch it) or 24 (I don't know why they gave it this time slot, although I still haven't watched the tape of the 4 hour season premier... what was up with that)

Tuesday

8:00: The Biggest Loser
8:30: (this is taped when the The Biggest Loser is on) Degrassi: The Next Generation
9:00: The Amazing Race

Wednesday

8:00: Lost
9:00: The West Wing
10:00: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Thursday

8:00: Survivor Palau
9:00: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
10:00: ER

Friday

8:00: Joan of Arcadia
9:00: Third Watch (I don't watch this every week and I don't tape it, I watched it faithfully when it was on Monday nights, not so much now... guess they were trying to kill it with such an terrible time slot)

Sunday

8:00 am: Coronation Street
7:00: 60 Minutes ( this is more of Ken's show... I don't have to watch it)
8:00: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
9:00: Desperate Housewives

I do have a daytime show that I like to keep on top of and that's Days of Our Lives, I have watched this show since I was at least 11... I don't watch everyday, I listen to it during my lunch break on my car radio while I eat lunch, catching half the episode is about as good as watching the whole thing.

I have also been keeping tabs on Entertainment Tonight and The Insider lately since I am a sucker for Hollywood gossip, sorry Jen and Brad.

I admit I am attached to the couch from fall to spring but the summer is free and clear. (:

Another Day, Another Dollar

I am currently working temporarily, doing data entry, for a company called Agline/TI (they don't have much of a web site) which happens to be located in Cambridge.

Today was about the worst commute I have had, worse than some of the days of riding the TTC or driving to Hamilton. I left the house at 7:30, I start work at 8:30 but I like to leave earlier than necessary because you just never know what traffic will be like...today it was like a nightmare. There was an accident on Hwy 8, the main artery to the 401, which is fine since I generally don't take that route to get to the 401 but due to the accident Hwy 8 was closed which meant every other alternate route was packed. I made the mistake of changing my course to try and find a better one and what ended up happening was I showed up at the office at 10:00 because the better route had me sitting in stop and go traffic for over 1.5 hours (it took me over an hour to go 1 km).

How much do I love being back at work... perhaps that question is best answered another day.

Welcome!

Hi Everyone,

Ken has been the long time blogger in our family and he suggested that perhaps I start one of my own....tada, consider it done. I joked that this might be the only way we'll communicate with one another but I am sure that won't be the case... right dear?

I am hoping to post something every day or so. I hope you will check in often and leave comments, I always like hearing from people.

I hope the new year is going well for everyone thus far.

Cheers!

Mandy
