For some reason, my previous blog from about three days ago, didn’t go out to my blog subscribers. I kinda hope that isn’t repeated with this one.I survived my training for work in Toronto. Actually, the course was very good. I thought it would be somewhat boring, but it wasn’t. On the last morning, my co-worker and I dropped off our baggage in my car then headed back up for breakfast. As the previous two morning, I had a raisin bran and Froot Loops mix. Check out the size of this massive mutant raisin I discovered (then devoured):
The morning went by fairly quick, then for lunch, we headed back to Druxy’s which is in the building. I was getting a little bored of yogurt for lunch, so I “splurged” on a nice roast turkey sandwich:
That was the most dilliest pickle I’ve ever had and could only manage to eat half.
During the afternoon break, I went out to the kitchen area to use my phone. I noticed a rather odd scene. Next to the vending machine, there was a fairly large puddle of water and sitting partially in it was a power bar. Ok, so I’m on a Health and Safety course, during which they taught us how to look out for, report and correct unsafe conditions. Was this a test? I went back into the classroom and asked the instructors if I would get brownie points for observing the little hazardous situation they set up for us. They looked at me a tad confused, so it was obvious it wasn’t a test. Still, I think brownie points were in order. I lead them out to the kitchen to show them the problem. (I outlined the water in red):
They immediately informed the proper folks to get the situation fixed and to check the leaking vending machine. I was tempted to give the queen wave as I walked back into the classroom, but was able to refrain.
The class finished on Thursday around 3:15. My co-worker and I headed back to the hotel to pick up Lola Corolla soon after. We were glad to be leaving at that time so to miss the maddening rush out of Toronto. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work that way. Within a matter of metres from the hotel, we got into a massive traffic jam. We had three or four lights to go through, but each one went through about ten cycles or more before we made it past the intersection. It took us forty minutes to go 0.4km! Needless to say, by the time we made it to the highway, we were right in the midst of rush hour traffic. It took about two and a half hours to get back to St. Catharines. Not fun! However, once home it was totally worth it as all my kitties met me at the door. Within an hour of being home, Mya showed me her new favourite resting place on the heater:
She’s so friggen cute.
At least I had some cute company while in Toronto. I brought Donkey with me:
I don’t think his original owner even knows that Donkey is no longer in his possession. I told him that if he doesn’t get his act together and start acting like a “father” that I would call FADS (Family and Donkey Services). Dork.
Despite being in bed for the last couple of days with a cold, I hope to feel well enough to go for a flight in the morning.
Today’s symptoms: Congested and achy from this cold. At least it isn’t any worse than yesterday, so I’m assuming I will feel much better tomorrow. No MS symptoms to report other than some aches and pains in my forearms and hands.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Gobble, Gobble!
