Month: October 2003
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last blog and quite a bit has happened since then. Mel and I moved into our new apartment – finally!! I was really anxious to move in. I have lived by myself for the last couple of years and I found it very lonely. I love having…
Read MoreI read an interesting editorial today in the Rabble ezine. “The Suggestion Box in the Apricot Tree” by Anuradha Vittachi gives a lot to think about. Regardless of your personal views about the particular project in Kenya, I think the main point of this article is an important one that everyone should give some thought.…
Read MoreSunday is my day to watch tv. I’m a big pop culture junkie and I watch a lot of tv anyway, but Sunday is the day when I tune into Book Television (the channel) and the CBC. I watch Richler Ink, CBC News Sunday, Hot Type, Arts & Minds, Inside Media, Mansbridge One on One,…
Read MoreI’m lov’in the new office! Lots of room, nice big window, the ducks are hanging on the wall (Misty Morning Woodies Ducks Unlimited). We’ve had to flourescent lights off all day but now it’s getting dark outside. Had to turn on the lamp. We really feel a difference in our energy levels when the lights…

Read MoreBoy, was I ever surprised when I came to the office today!! Everything was in a pile in the middle of a room on another floor in another part of the building. Terry says it’s all part of the company fitness program, this moving every six months. Stacy says our next business venture will be…
Read MoreToday turned out to be quite interesting. We had our staff meeting. Melanie gave us an overview of the book she just read (see list on the left) and highly recommends it to everyone. It sounds to be a useful tool for any business person in understanding and communicating with customers. Then we watched a…
Read MoreToday is Friday which means it is my “admin” day at Mighty Miramichi. Which basically means organizing all the past weeks events and planning the next week ahead.

Read MoreIs the rain getting you down? I had a hard time this morning convincing myself that I am in a good mood! We all make the choice, each day, as to what kind of mood we’ll be in. Unless of course there are extenuating circumstances, but you get my drift. So this morning I chose…
Read MoreWell I had another lovely drive home from work tonight amidst the slush & muck. I didnt dare take my eyes off the road to look over at Leslie but I’m sure he was clutching the dashboard as we both avoided staring into the onslaught of snow. Because that will make you crazy you know….staring…
