Welcome, the meeting of the blog will now come to order...

Hello there readers, its been a while. In keeping with good parlimentary procedure (as I always strive to do) I would like to first discuss "old buisness". Lets start with last weekend when I went home. I quit my one job because they made me work on the weekend and I wanted to go home. No thats not actually the reason I quit, really I just didnt like it. But it was rather convenient really. It was a really good weekend; we celebrated mothers day and my moms birthday 
and I got to see my family and witness my dad get Nicolaas's kite stuck in a tree. Yep, those were good days. Now to the next order of buisness. This one encompasses most of the rest of my life. My job. Like I said, I quit my one job that I had, and before that, another job. And no, I have not often been praised for my stick-to-itivness. What does "iv" stand for in that last word? Is "iv" some kind of popular suffix phenomona that I missed out on? Never mind. The point is, I only have one job now, and it is at Le Chateau. Its a really good job and I really like it. At 
Le Chateau we have highly intelligent conversation such as;
Style Specialist 1: "This is really cute!"
Style Specialist 2: "Ya, for sure"
(Pause)
S.S. 1: "Do you think its a shirt or a skirt (either shirt or skirt could be subsituted with "dress" here if the reader so chooses)
S.S. 2: "I dont really know, I think it could be either."
S.S 1: "Ya your right"
See what did I tell you. Higher education is hardly necessisary with this sort of discussion taking place in order to expand ones mind. Okay, okay, so I may make fun of the clothing store job, but I really do like it. It is a nice change from school and the hours go fast.
I dont think that there is any new buisness to discuss, so I move that this blog is adjourned.
Motion passed, blog adjourned!

Hold on to your hats folks, its rant time!

As the benevolent sort of person I am, I like to cater to the wishes of my adoring public. This composition is for to Tim for suggesting that I write a rant about all the things that bother me about Calgary. 
So here goes...
5. Calgary sucks because there is a Starbucks on every corner which makes 
you want to go there every time you drive by
4. Calgary sucks because there are a ton of great stores which coerce me into spending money
3. Calgary sucks because there are many unfriendly people who honk at me when I am driving bad. Maybe they are just saying hello...
2. Calgary sucks because I got three job offers in three days and now have to turn one down.
1. And most of all, Calgary sucks because my best friend lives here and won't leave my room!
Okay, so maybe those comments dont prove my point, but Calgary is really awful, really!...

In pursuit of the mysterious thing commonly known as "a job"

I think if there was a contest to see who wrote the longest blog titles, I would win. I put it to you, my reader, to find another person who uses ridiculously long sentances where two words would suffice. For instance, this blog I could have called "Job hunting" or "job search".
Enough dilly dally, though, lets get down to the point. As many of my readers may know, I moved to Calgary last weekend (Ap 29th), and seeing as my options for thriving were getting a job or being a bum on the street, I decided to be a bum on the street. No, no I didn't. I had to get a job. So with high hopes in the legendary Calgarian salaries and general desperation for workers, I began my search. I can't find a way for this next part to sound interesting, so here is the jist of it; I've been on the job hunt for the last 3 days. The good news is that I managed to get a job, actually 2 and maybe after my next interview 3. Then comes the hard part, turning down one of the jobs, which I am not
 exactly looking forward to... However these things must be done. The right 
way is rarely ever the path of least resistance, or something like that.
Okay folks until next time keep fit and have fun!
