Canadian Broadcasting is where it's at
I am watching "A Civil Action" with Mat right now. Which is a very good movie.
I have spent the last two days getting into my new job at the CBC and it has been a lovely two days!
I feel like my old hardworking self again, someone who enjoys work and work hard to get the job done above and beyond. Yes, I understand that sentence is redundant, but seriously, it feels great to enjoy your job and the work environment and people around you!
More to come soon!

Quite Possibly my favourite day!
So yesterday, I decided to note that my perfect day would consist of:
A) Passing my G driving test
B) Going to the Chiropractor and having him actually pop my ribs back into place...again
C) The CBC calling me to offer me the job that I interviewed for last monday
You wouldn't believe it, I got three out of three!
My driving test went well, and the tester was a nice old man. I hit the curb on my parallel park, but I still passed.
After calling my family and friends who had driven me around all those years when I was without a license (hard word to remember how to spell btw) I went home.
Then I came downtown, headed to the chiropractor, who is this awesome sports specialist. He treats NHL Hockey players and A.J. Burnett, as well as others. And in June he popped 3 of my ribs back into place. I've been having chest pain again, so I decided to get my life back in order and make another appointment.
It really is a great feeling when a doctor looks at you and can see that you have a problem. It validates the fact that the pain I am feeling is not inside my head, and I am actually STILL injured after all of this time off rowing!
So this time after acupuncture treatment for 15 minutes or so, he popped like 5 or 6 back into place and my scapula and my neck!
He was amazed at how many had sublexed out of place.
Anyway, I'm heading back next week to make sure they haven't moved again.
When I was on my way home, Mat called my cell to tell me that the CBC just called. So I called them back right away, and standing on Bay street next to a Canadian Tire Emergency Exit, I was offered the position to work for the CBC.
I ran home (literally) and got back on the phone so the woman could give me more details, including salary, benefits etc. etc. etc.... and AN ACTUAL CONTRACT!!!!!
So after making a second call to family and friends, and to the references that said nice things about me, Mat and I went to the gym and worked out. I had a nice run on the treadmill, and did some weights and sit ups etc.
Mat and I made a yummy dinner of salad and pasta, and went to Dairy Queen for dessert to celebrate. While at the Eaton Centre we wandered into The Bay looking for board games on sale, to add to our collection. We found a Trivial Pursuit Game that is the best of 80s, 90s and Pop Culture. It was supposed to cost $30, which is pretty good for a board game, but the woman thought we got it from the sale rack. We told her we didn't, since she told us the discounted price, she said she didn't mind giving it to us! So not only did we save 50%, but an additional 30%. The game cost less than $12.
Great day. Really an absolutely Great Day!
