So good to see you again

WELCOME BACK

• My dear, loverly sunshine and all the dry Vancouver heat you bring with you. I love Vancouver summers.

• All my homies who jetted off for the long weekend. You missed a weekend of hot sun, cool jazz, and general merriment. And fireworks. Which you could have totally seen from my balcony if you were in town.

• Gainful employment and the warm fuzzy feelings I have when I am out in the real world interacting with real people. Oh, did I forget to mention I started work this week? Not real work, just a coffee shop job. But, you know, I like it. True, I do start at work at an hour when the only other people who are awake in the city are nursing mothers and other baristas. But, who can complain? It just means that I can effectively go to work with my sleepy eyes on and no one will care or even notice until a good three hours into my shift when the rest of the world starts to stir. Brilliant.

• Real employment opportunities. Tune in next week to see if I got the job I've been interviewing for over the past few weeks.

~g. mango owes you a pony. well, maybe half a pony. you'll get the other half if i get this other job.
