Back in the Saddle
Who knows if I'm referring to the blogging saddle or not, as I make no promises that I'll manage to keep this going; perhaps it is only the slow day I am suffering at work that caused me to try and guess my blogger password once again. But I am at least referring to the saddle on the horse that is the federal government (note to self: drop metaphor).
A brief update to cover the last year of my life:
- taught a business course at Brookfield High School in the Fall of 2008
- taught grades 10 and 12 math at Sir Wilfrid Laurier High School in the Winter/Spring of 2009
- moved in with The Girl and The Kid
- decided that working the equivalent of half-time as a teacher with no job security, no long-term prospects, low salary and crazy workload wasn't worth it right now
- accepted a new job at Environment Canada (don't worry, we'll have this climate change thing fixed in no time)
- travelled to the Netherlands, Belgium and England with The Girl and The Kid for two weeks
That pretty much covers the highlights - I'm not that exciting. Oh, and the Royal Oak Rockets did manage to win the Tier IV championship last year - that's important too. We begin our defense tomorrow night in the semi-finals.
Anyhow, now I find myself back at a government work station (in a cubicle this time - major step down from my own office!) and, with not much to do in my first couple of weeks, I thought I would update any *very* dedicated lurkers who might be out there of what's happening. Since I now have a bit more computer time on my hands, perhaps I can keep this thing a bit more up to date (see post below - I've already updated my 101 things list!)
