2. Still hate driving.
3. Telling me that "It's a bigger city that still *feels* like a small town" is not a selling feature. I really hate small towns.
4. IT HAS BEEN THIRTY DEGREES (86F) (or close to it) FOR THREE FUCKING STRAIGHT FUCKING DAYS. IN MAY. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX, MY FUCKING ASS.
5. I got a job.
Not just any job. The first job I applied to that wasn't through an agency.
Not just any job. A job for which I am totally qualified, have an interest in doing, and will totally rock.

The barest of details: I will be working as the personal/executive assistant to a small business man who's business is in one of the few industries that thrives in this area.
The downside is, it's on call for the next three weeks, for a rate that's very low.
It will then shift to a steady 20 hours a week, for a rate that is only marginally higher.
IF I can help him find 5 new employees from *outside the Windsor area* including Europeans and North Americans if necessary, I will be full time two weeks after they start. We're aiming for September/October to have that completed. Hopefully with the increase in hours comes an increase in the hourly wage, but we'll see.

With only 20 hours dedicated to this employer I'm thinking about trying to pick up a couple of 10 hour a week contracts with local entrepreneurs that might need a little help with getting their administration in order.
That means networking. oh. yay.

I was promised a thunderstorm by 11 AM. They lifted the severe thunderstorm warning around 10 AM and cancelled the thunderstorm forecast about thirty minutes after that. It is now 12:45 pm, the sun is shining, there is some haze in the air, and it's getting STUPID hot again.
I WANT MY FUCKING THUNDERSTORM ALREADY.

Note: Cooling vests and neck wraps do not work in humidity over 60%. Or rather, they don't work well or for long in humidity. Why no one told me that as I was forking out $40 to purchase them, I have no idea.

I was going to apologize for the all the virtual yelling, but it turns out that I really am not sorry about that. No. No apologies.
You have friends worth a network that is global. Just saying.
