16% over five years AND a signing bonus
When can i spend my money? Get out of the way.
July 2
Getting set up
First song on the radio i brought was Rush "Time Stand Still"
i took it as a good sign.
"I'm not looking back but i want to look around me now..."
One of my favourite Rush songs, much to the immediate chagrin of any true Rush fan.
But it fit.
Looking around I see arrogant bunnies occupying 90% of the arable space on this campus.
They remind me of the insane beast we keep in the laundry room / deck hutch at home.
i saw a dead bunny with a halo of flies in the planter at the housing office when i went to check in.
Two staff members looked at it.
One of them underhanded a rock at it to see if it would move.
it didn't.
The main occupants of the area i am in are Language students - some learning English, some learning French, all learning about life on their own. We have that in common.
What we don't have in common is standing at the entranceway impressing each other on how much they can smoke and spit. i'm past that.
The evening of july 2 consisted of phoning home to leave messages on an ansering machine that does not work, and completing the book "My Losing Season" by Pat Conroy. Powerful.
It is not as well known as "Prince of tides", or "The Great Santini", or "Lords of Discipline" but it should be mandatory reading for every person who wants to coach other people's kids.
thanks to R-Meads for the line.
I consider us now even for all the minor slights I may have perpetrated on him in his misspent and wasted youth.
Major thanks to K-stra for the use of a fridge all summer.
I had a handfull of cherry tomatoes - and they were cold.

That Rush song sucks. It would have been better if it was "Working Man."
you didn't need to create a blog. just create a user name and password and then exit when the create a blog part comes up. i did that and it worked fine.
what's your blog called?
