I think I’m forgetting how to blog.
But I seem to recall it involves updating.
Hannah had her first day at her new daycare today. And I think it went pretty well. Ian stopped by at lunch to see how she was doing and she was just playing with the other kids. And I picked her up [...]

My so-helpful coworker
I probably mentioned how at work we’ve got about 50 ppl sardined into a space that was once ideal for about 20 ppl, right? Well, when I started, I couldn’t have a desk ’cause there was neither the furniture nor the room. There’s a front area that had six cubicles when I was there last. [...]

Humourless Feminist Attends Trade Show for Women
A while ago, saskatoon had a trade show catering to men (’cause like, men are such an underserved niche market, right?) But, well, when you say outright that it’s catering to men, then suddenly you have more license to, say, have women walking around in lingerie.
This weekend, there’s the Woman’s World trade show going on [...]

Good Job
I pretty much have the best job in the world. Like, yes, even in spite of my griping about gendered jokes this week.
This week I’m particularly delighted with a) the people and b) family-friendly policies.
It’s a good thing the people are good. The people kinda have to be good or the company would have imploded [...]

Stuff I Said
Sigh. So, two stories.
Firstly, I met a new employee today. He’d been out of the office at the beginning of the week for health reasons. And he came in and came over to the corner where I’m sitting near one of My Favourite Coworkers (MFC). And he was chatting and we introduced ourselves to each [...]

Being a Jerk Doesn’t Pay
Ian and I have this tendency to pick up and finish each other’s glasses of water. Last night, as we were getting ready to go to bed, we both moved to pick up the same glass. But it was mine and I got to it first. So, I downed it, refilled it and drank some [...]

Oh Christmas-christmas-christmas.
I was just looking at Christmas ‘07 pictures. It feels like just yesterday, seriously. But it’s going to be Christmas again so, so soon. (Like you wouldn’t believe, right?)
Shit, I don’t even know what the best part is.
OMG, the food is so freakin’ awesome. We had ginger peach tarts last year. And remember the year [...]

fine. FINE.
I know, I know, I know. I’ve been keeping a bleak blog here. Every time I update I’m all, “I’m stressed,” “I’m overwhelmed,” “I’m angry.” But seriously, I’m stressed and overwhelmed and angry.
I’m enduring my last week at home on maternity leave. I was excited about it this weekend. I was thinking, “one last week. [...]
