the face of politics…

Posted on September 16, 2004 By admin 7 Comments on the face of politics…

“White bra means there's a (medicare) deal, black means there's no deal and nude means we're all coming back tomorrow,” said one wag.

Wed Sep 15, 7:14 PM ET

OTTAWA (CP) – They provided a flash of excitement during a federal-provincial conference otherwise dominated by dry discussions about wait times and cash transfers.

A crowd of federal-provincial officials, journalists and security guards was given an impromptu peep show as they milled outside a national health-care summit Wednesday.

The unexpected performances came from guests at the Westin hotel across the street from the convention centre where federal-provincial talks were being held.

The spectacle began in the morning when a woman appeared topless at a window in the hotel.

Another woman came to her window on the seventh floor several times wearing only a bra and black-thong underwear. Cheers went up from some in the crowd below at each of her appearances.

“White bra means there's a (medicare) deal, black means there's no deal and nude means we're all coming back tomorrow,” said one wag.

I don't deal well with stress

Posted on September 16, 2004 By admin 3 Comments on I don't deal well with stress

So I'm meeting McGill dudes tomorrow and I'm a wreck. I came back from watching a movie with [info]sbourge, and I just noticed that my “resting” heartrate is..oh… about 100… not good. It's always been like this, ever since I can remember. Or rather, ever since I've had “big” decisions to make. I'm so tense right now that my shoulders ache.

Someone on [info]emjayne's confessional wrote that they were going to kill themselves if they didn't get into grad school. I'm afraid that the stress is going to kill me, which ain't a whole lot better. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm going to hump in the shower to get rid of all the loose bits of hair (got my haircut this afternoon) and then I'm going to go over a few typical interview questions. I think that's one of the things that's really getting me. I have NO clue what tomorrow's meeting will hold. It could be an informal discussion about a potential project, a job interview or a job offer. I have no idea, hence I can't prepare, hence my condition.

wish me luck folks.

Tell me something you'd like to do with me someday. Then post this in your journal to find out what people want to do with you.

The Trunk Monkey

Posted on September 15, 2004 By admin 4 Comments on The Trunk Monkey

The Trunkmonkey concept had been floating around the labs for quite a while before anyone actually decided to implement it. Consisting solely of a trained monkey and a steady source of ice cold high-quality import ale or lager, the Trunkmonkey lives in the trunk of any vehicle and helps to automate weight transfer at the rear wheels during spirited driving maneuvers. He's also a security system and road-rage prevention system.

My fingers are all wet!

Posted on September 15, 2004 By admin 29 Comments on My fingers are all wet!

*yawn!*

Met up with [info]eniran for the first time in a long while for drinks and pasta goodness. It's a good thing Dusty was tired and the bar was noisy, cause we both let loose a few doosies :) We're still not sure which team she plays for, but it's always fun to speculate. After drinks, we came back to my place for some pasta goodness (note to self: adding Port to the 20-minute pasta sauce is a Very Good Thing). Spent the evening watching TV, fighting with the cat and giggling at french people.

Quote of the night:

Rc says:
   i'll take what I can get  
Sparrow says: 
    and this is why I like you so much
Rc says:
    cause I'm a cheap date and easy to please?  
Sparrow says:
    yup. exactly. and I don't have to put out.

Off to bed now.

Just got email from my old boss at Ste-Justine. I'm meeting him next monday to discuss about a project the hospital is doing with IBM LifeSci, and other projects. Might be another potential employment lead.

kitchen floor – part 1

Posted on September 13, 2004 By admin

Marc and I did a big part of the kitchen. The only thing that's left is the final cut-in work around the edges. We were both kind of fed up tonight, so we left that for tomorrow. The whole thing looks good. Not great, but good. Not the tiling pattern I'd have chosen, but considering I didn't pay for the tiles, I don't really care. Besides, anything is better than what was there up until a few hours ago.

The only thing that's really pissing me off right now is that I still have traces of the friggin glue from those tiles. It just doesn't want to come off.

Hate that.
