I quit today!!! I'll still be working for another month, but the end is in sight. It went really well - I did end up talking about why I was unhappy (at the urging of my boss) but that let me find out that he's had similar problems with Markus, which is good to know. Whew!
Megan, thanks for that link! I think it really is inevitable - it's just a question of time. When the Ontario Supreme Court said that the law needed to be changed, I was so excited. I realized that by the time Nora has met someone she'd want to marry, it could be legal. Then I was so disappointed in the government for appealing.
while Canada has been helpful in the fight against terrorism, it doesn't spend enough on policing and places too much emphasis on civil liberties.
This is both hilarious and tragic. What is the US coming to?
Congrats 'Ouise. I'm glad the quitting went well. And jobma vibes for the future!
places too much emphasis on civil liberties.
Um.... Isn't there a line in the US National Anthem about the whole 'Land Of The Free'? Did someone in the State Department manage to miss that phrase in their Civics class? Or maybe Francis Scott Key was actually talking about Canada, that would make more sense.
No, no, no. You're not seeing the distinction. "Freedom" is a good thing, and the US has more of it that anyone else. In fact, members of the American government have been known to say that they have all of the freedom. Civil liberties, on the other hand, are bad. Look at that word "civil". What does it make you think of? Things like "civil service" - we all know they're lazy and wasting the taxpayers' money. Or how about "civil engineering"? That's all about sewage. Clearly civil liberties are bad and have nothing to do with freedom.
*golf claps for Ouise* I'd like to COMM that!
Megan, the civil servant (I hope that doesn't have anything to do with sewage)
btw, tomorrow is free comic book day. Ouise, didn't Nora get a bunch free last year?
Always happy to entertain ...
Yes, Nora got a bunch of comics last year. Some of them were pretty good, too! That's what introduced us to Ultimate Spider-Man, which is lots of fun.
edited because half the message vanished!
Free Comic Book Day? What are ya? A bunch of Commies?
Ouise - You could be an actuary! All the cool kids are doing it! (well, Billytea and I, but you can't get any cooler than that).
I could? What's it like? (If you've got a link to an article, feel free to post it instead of describing it yourself.)

So it's a Canada-only event? I guess we really are living in the promised land.
