I hate dial-up, and though there's a long list of things I'm not too keen on (I'm a grumpy old git) and dial-up 56k internet access is way up there, a few notches higher on the list is broken bones. This entry goes out to Edith, my mother-in-law. I hope you get well soon!
I have a bank account now, and I've applied for a SIN (Social Insurance Number), we bought a car, and Deb got a job. All this, however, does not a happy Graham make. I still need to get a job, and I've applied for dozens so far, yet all I have to show is a handful of rejection emails. We bought a job paper, and there were a few jobs in there, but who knows? The getting a job thing is on the critical path of being an immigrant, at least in my book. after that, it's all pretty easy (famous last words ...)
On the plus side, I have a cellphone, but I still have to get my head around the idea that I pay for incoming calls. As for where to park the car, that's a bit of a problem that we're trying to sort out before it's delivered.
The weather is dry, with temperatures now above zero for a few days, but the forecast is for more freezing stuff, and it'll likely keep that way for another couple of months. I'll try not to think of the daffodils that we left poking out of the ground in England.
We've agreed with my brother-in-law to do a spot of baby-sitting on Saturday night. Big plus (apart from seeing our nephews) is wireless cable internet, and lots of cable channels to flick through. But mainly the fast internet connection.
I hate dial-up.
