Today's my last day with the health classes. Yes, all of my classes have been canceled from here on out due to the freaking H1N1 outbreak. It's going to be impossible to replace that three grand and I am pretty bummed about it. There was no contract signed so it seems I'm SOL. It's making me rethink my decision to change jobs if the rug can be pulled so swiftly out from under me. Fingers crossed that Serge will score another contract between now and xmas. I guess as of Monday I'm semi retired for the rest of the year. (I'll still have four hours a week.) Plenty of free time, no money to take advantage of that. Looks like I'll be playing lots of free scrabble on the net.
On the other hand, there are some great travel deals the second week of December usually. Maybe we can capitalize on the situation and go to Cuba for a week. I mean my credit card company keeps sending me these checks that you can use to borrow at only 2 percent interest for a year. So that's like what, twenty bucks per grand to borrow for a year? Surely I can do that. This is probably just fantasy talking though. Some gig will probably present itself, knocking as I am on wood, which of course I wouldn't refuse.
Plus all that puppy love is free. Georgie's gonna love all the walks he'll be getting. Happy Friday peeps!

Ugh, I hate public bathrooms for that sound issue. Whenever I hear a loud neighbour, I'm tempted to shout "Susan, I know that's you - get back to the womens' room!".
Sorry about the workflow, maybe you SHOULD exercise your Canadianity (?) and hop down to Havana for a bit...
Eek.
Bummer.

I thought the teacher student in side by side stalls was going to take a different turn. I guess there was not a glory hole available. When a window closes a door usually opens so don't worry about having enough work. ed
Can't. Help. Myself.
"Fazed" not "phased."
I love the gratuitous Georgie shot.
You seem always to pull another job out of your hat. Let's see if karma is still working for you.
Absolutely. You should never refuse wood.
That bathroom scenario has happened to me too and I find it both embarrassing and awkward. Doing a #2 is about the most private thing a person can do, and knowing that there is somebody I know listening mere inches away completely freaks me out. I would have found a reason to leave then go to a different men's room.
Credit card deal: Don't forget the 3 percent or 5 percent fee up front ($30 to $50 per K) for a cash advance. And if you have any other balances on that card, what you pay monthly will be applied only to the 2-percent balance while the rest of the balance is not paid down at all and is charged the usual APR. If you cannot pay back the low-interest cash advance within a certain amount of time, it may be converted to a regular cash advance, the APR of which is sometimes higher than regular purchases. (At that point, you take advantage of the low-interest cash advance on a different card to pay off the first card -- robbing Peter to pay Paul!) Been there. Done that.
I was in the military and it'd still freak me out, that situation you found yourself in. I only poo outside of my home in extreme emergencies.
Is the H1N1 outbreak so bad in Montreal that it warrants canceling classes? Heavens, I hope not. Also hope you get another gig soon.
While everyone else is being so high brow and sympathetic about this, I'm just gonna come out and say it - Freakin' Funny. Potty humour still makes me laugh, it's the kid in me I guess, and I got a ripping good chuckle out of this one. And the puppy just keeps getting cuter too! Have a good weekend!
I came across a woman shitting in the woods during last weekends x-country race in Wisconsin. I thought I was hallucinating but my nose told me otherwise. I was so embarrassed. Of course I thought of you at the time...
Stupid Swine Flu Panic.
Well, I'll play ya. On Scrabble. You'll feel better about your life, trust me.
And that whole poop thing? Yikes! I'd have died.
I think you should be able to say , I'm sorry I poo alone , were not that close ..
Georgie it the cutest hound doggie , it's to early to leave him and go to Cuba
Your first paragraph had me LOL for real!! I don't have to imagine how you felt; I've been there too.
Georgie is just the CUTEST!! I can't get enough of him.
What is it w/you and poo? :)
Man, Georgie is cute.
Well, Joel beat me to it. The transaction fee (which those checks will most certainly have) really means you'll pay 4-5% for the first year. There's no such thing as a cheap ride in the banking biz, take it from someone who was in it for 22 years!
My God. How do you always manage to get yourself entwined in such poop shenanigans? You could have been Freud's dream come true.
Is the H1N1 thing a real problem in Montréal? Or are administrators just covering their ass?
It is odd that your student would want to go to the men's room with you given his own situation. Awkward.
Good choice of words: vociferous!
:)
Oh I feel for you with the poop incident! Still, it was good that he was doing the same.
