So I had Friday off because of this whole power failure thing. But I never thought I'd have today off too. I woke up as usual, took a shower, and got ready for work. When I looked at the morning paper however, it doesn't Federal, Provincial, and Municipal government workers aside from those deemed essential should stay at home.
And on the government website it says:
For this week, the provincial government will continue to operate with essential services only, to assist with conservation efforts. Federal and municipal governments are requested to do the same. This approach will be re-evaluated on a 24-hour basis.
This week was supposed to be my last week, but it sounds like my last week won't exist!
I've had 6 months off since taking redundancy at the end of January. It's starting to get boring now, especially as my daughter is halfway through her 6 week school break (I have to compromise and let her watch cbeebies some of the time instead of listening to music all day!!!), so I am going to start looking for a job seriously now. Honest!
My only memory of Prince Edward Island is of my dad ripping up a comic book that he had just bought me. I was 10. I was crushed at the time, but I can chuckle now. After all, it was his money!
I also remember red sand on the beaches. And potatoes. And Anne of Green Gables.
not the groom, are you? there's one thing I miss about school (besides the library) and that's the occasional snow day. you just don't get them when you're working unless it's some kind of natural catastrophe, which I guess in a way this power thing is--for you anyway, blue! enjoy. especially if they're paying you anyway!
