Today is Tuesday. The last entry was on Thursday. We have been busy, and it's often frustrating not being able to do the stuff we're used to doing. Gone are the days of my daily blog entries - at least until we settle down into a home of our own.
I've started a job-finders training course, called "Job Seeking for New Canadians", a 5 week stint Monday to Friday, 9am to 2.30pm. For me, it sort of slots in with Deb's job, at least in that I can get a lift to Guelph each day. There are some good tips in this course, and as it's funded by the government, I signed up and it's made a positive difference to my outlook on jobseeking here.
With luck we'll have our new car delivered tonight, and YAY! we have somewhere to park it. Thanks to some people up the street who have a spare space next to their garage for our car.
The weather drew in a bit today, with a fresh sprinkling of snow. We passed about half a dozen instances of cars that had spun off the road, sometimes hitting something on the way to being stationary. Even at 6am, there was a lot of traffic going West into Toronto, but luckily we drive East in the mornings, out to Guelph.
Rob has started me learning Citrix, which is interesting, and one day I hope to sit the standard "I Know Citrix" exam. Maybe more on this later ...
Apologies for the long delay in this entry, I hope it won't be so long next time.
Today's "By Golly It's Different Over Here": The price of petrol (gas) can change in a matter of hours, from say 66c per litre to 77c and back again AT THE SAME PUMP. What on earth is that all about?
