Sharing some not-so-valuable info

Today I walked to Lawrence Square.
Then I took a subway to Yorkdale.
I purchased a small A&W root beer full of HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup).
I purchased a small lavender & basil scented soap.
And then I walked home.
Great exercise!

"Using your abs to move heavy weight a few inches is just weird." - Mark Sisson

One of my favourite fitness authors writes about how doing crunches and stuff is pretty pointless. Figured that out years ago, but it's hard to go against the grain.

Thesis 1: There won't be a White Christmas...

... because the condos generate too much heat.

A party song I listened to today


If only girls bought us drinks instead, huh? How's that for a new norm?

Job loss

I feel it's appropriate for me to write a post about what happened.

I don't want to name them because bashing previous employers usually doesn't end well for the employee, but if you've been following my blog for the past few months you should know which company fired me. For me, it is the company that I will forever remember as the one that let me go the day I was supposed to become a permanent salaried employee.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not angry at them for firing me, especially considering that my direct supervisors never told me I was doing a bad job etc.
I bear no ill will towards the corporation, although I now certainly do have an additional reason not to love capitalism.

I will miss the friendly relationships I built with my coworkers on the client care team. I will not miss the interdepartmental tomfoolery, nor will I miss all the weed & paraphernalia. I (and my sister) will most definitely miss the staff parties.

So, do I go back to school? Or maybe I should try working in a completely different environment like a yoga studio, part time? The corporate life was fun, but I think I want something more down to earth.

I really don't want to be a french tutor, mais si ça paye les factures, peut-être devrais-je commencer ma petite entreprise franco. Je ne suis vraiment pas qualifié pour enseigner la grammaire. À vrai dire, je serais surpris si il n'y avais pas d'erreure de grammaire dans ce paragraphe. Non, c'est plûtot mon vocabulaire français que je peux facilement enseigner. Le. La. Pas compliqué pour moi, pas mal compliqué pour les anglos et les autres personnes qui parlent des langues sans gendre.

I said I'd make an effort to add more multimedia to my blog, so here's a picture of Rudolph I half-assed coloured over the weekend:
