And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Buffy ,'Sleeper'

I can't even.

Very nice! Is there a trip to Ottawa (second prize: TWO trips to Ottawa?) in it for you if he wins? Where do they present?

Congrats to Dan! I guess I now know why he was covering the budget yesterday.

it's SNOWING here. Didn't mother nature get my memo? No snow after March 20th! I asked a coworker to make it stop but he said he's busy with other miracles.

We get 2 trips out of this - Ottawa in April & Vancouver in June - just for being nominated. Woohoo!

The Michener reception is held at the GG's residence. We both are going to need new clothes.

Just ask Adrienne to buy you something. She's got some money to burn, apparently.

Yes, but she doesn't spend it on clothes. She always appears to be dressed in a burlap sack with sleeves.

Excellent!

Meee-ouch!

(It's just her turn in the barrel. The Neo agenda needs someone to club, and the government is thinking, hey, if it keeps them off our back, the GG can look after herself.)

Somewhere John Raulston Saul is going, "Honey, where are those claw marks appearing from?"

False alarm on the Minister's reception, Megan. It was ostensibly to thank a bunch of us budget/policy nerds for the work we did on a recent initiative, but it has been postponed. That is to say, this is all the thanks we are going to get, save for the apologetic email to follow, cancelling the whole thing. Not that I need any thanks, hey, it's like my job and all, but I've been around the block, I know how this stuff works.

That's designer burlap, Dani!

Congrats to your husband!!

and a big hat!

False alarm on the Minister's reception, Megan.

Bummer. The only time we meet with the Minister is for briefings (not very many) and the Christmas party that is held in the reception area for an hour the last Thursday before Xmas.

Sue! how are you feeling?

ION, it's raining here now. That brief Orb session we had must have been a mis-allocation and has been withdrawn.

Hmm. I think I have year-end on the brain.

My division is working on finalizing the department business plan and our section in the government business plan. This is hard to do when the final provincial budget has not yet been finished. Seems kinda backasswards.
