• I'm sore.

  
  

  Ontario has at least one giant, glaring advantage over Newfoundland -- the fast availability of work. Now granted, it may not be the greatest work all the time, but it's still work. Those of you who have been around here a long time may remember the agonizing times my wife and I spent before moving to Korea. We just couldn't find work. We were even turned down at Walmart. Well, it's easier in Ontario.

  
  

  I spent the day at a construction site, lugging bricks and lumber and garbage. It's something of a change from teaching, I'll admit, but it kept me busy all day, and it brings in a little money. I got it through a temp agency. Cambridge is rotten with them. I didn't even need my resume (which is still locked in the power-supply-less good computer). I just filled out a little form and had a job the next day. Their jobs run from a few days to a few weeks, generally, so I won't have any trouble staying employed, and I can look for something a little more interesting.

  
  

  So, at least I'm working. It's one less thing to worry about, and hopefully it'll mean we won't have to borrow any more money. That would be nice. One more step toward getting our life back on track.

  
  

  Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted so soon after another post I'm going to go now and putter around, maybe go to the grocery store, work on some webpages I'm building (I'm trying to acquaint myself with more recent developments in web technology), and generally try to avoid using my poor muscles too much. Thanks for visiting.

  
  

  Take care
