You Are the Swedish Chef

"Bork! Bork! Bork!" Your happy and energetic - with borderline manic tendencies. No one really gets you. And frankly, you don't even get you. But, you sure can whip up a great chocolate mousse

The Muppet Personality Test

Last week at IHAB, down to two more days. Already found an excellent replacement, I was included in the whole process including the interviews and references. Not sure if that means they have complete faith in me or that they are just too busy/lazy too do it themselves. I'll just tell myself they really think I wa able give them a good evaluation. :-)

I have no new projects to start and I will be training on Friday so tomorrow will be a loooong boring day... ugh... I hate being bored at work... On Friday I am gone early to go sign my contract at Global and go over some paperwork there so I am ready for work on Monday.

Also, my sister Suzanne is coming in on Friday and we are heading out that night or Saturday (or both?) probably to go karaoke-ing! (awesome!) Maybe I should bring my camera and take some pics ;-)

You Are Blitzen

Always in good spirits, you're the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa. Why You're Naughty: You're always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying! Why You're Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini.

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

I've decided...

if I want to make my blog more interesting (if only just to me) then I'd better start contributing to it. So prepare to be lulled to a state of unconsciousness... LOL.

I'm doing well at work, got lots done already and people are noticing, which is nice (recognition WOW haven't had that in a long time). Been sorta offered an extension after March, still not a definite offer but my manager is confident I'll have lots of work to do. Also she offered the next contract directly through Industry Canada instead of through the placement agency -- YES!! CHA CHING BABY! Well, not rolling in riches but cutting out the middle man means a couple dollars more an hour for me to do the exact same job -- LOVE IT LOVE IT!!

The kids are coping pretty well most days, the arrangement is that on the days both myself and Paul need to be in first thing in the morning, my neighbour Kim takes Léa for the hour between when Drew leaves for school and Léa starts. It only works out usually to a couple days a week and we've been paying Kim in Starbucks mochas which she is quite happy with. :-) After school Daniel gets home first, home alone for maybe half an hour before Drew is home and then either one of them gets Léa an hour later. I am usually home about half an hour after that. They have their chores, their homework and a snack and I'm there. And we still have the 'no TV until 6:30' rule in force (such an evil Mom i am). So it works out pretty good, mind you today they were bitchy this morning -- bicker, bicker, bicker. But some days are just like that...
