the good, the bad, the indecision
Category: work
I was offered a job that I really want. I'm waiting to hear if I am offered another job I want a little bit more. I'm supposed to give the first offer an answer on Monday. I most likely won't hear from the other until later in the week. I don't know what to do.

Take the Job You really want. Granted the second job you want a little bit more, but both jobs are jobs you really want. What if nothing happend with the second job and you turned down the first then you would have niether of the jobs you really want, and that would completely suck. So take the first one on monday. If the second one becomes and opiton later you may at that point decide to switch jobs.

I agree with (e:scott). Take the first job, see if you get the second one and then decide.

Unless you don't want the first job, then say no and wait it out.

Although, if you need the experience, then I would go with the first option.

Eh, what do I know. I work for my next door neighbor and still live at home.

hahaha! good luck. :-D

Don't feel bad if you "accept" a job and then the better job comes along. If that happens, you cancel on less desirable position, and take the one you really want. No one can fault you for that.

This is business, you gotta look out for yourself. If the employer could find someone better for less pay, they wouldn't offer you a job anyways. So, feel an ounce of guilt if you end up stiffing them. It happens all the time.

a tale of toronto
Category: potpourri
First and foremost, I want to wish a VERY Happy 30th Birthday to (e:imk2) today!!!!!

We headed up to Toronto last night to see the UB40 concert.
image
Long story short, we were 3 hours late. They wouldn't let us in, so we went round to the back stage door and grooved to the crystal clear sounds of the last 5 or 6 songs. Man I love that group.
image
We wandered around town for a bit.
image

image
We grabbed dinner at the local market. Here is Yvonne holding our noodle soup bowls and chopsticks amidst the colourful detergents. How much detergent does one need to stock in a little market anyway?
image
Today we hit H&M, Chinatown, the Shoe Museum and the Polish village.
image
These flip flops got my attention...I just don't know what to say
image
On second thought, I do.... "holy chow"!
image
Weird shoes...
image
Cool shoes....
image
I want these shoes! (made with a genuine Guinness beer can)
image
What exactly are these 'bubbles' in bubble tea? I ended up with a purple drink that tasted like coconut with green gelatinous balls as displayed by (e:imk2)
image
We enjoyed a tasty Polish dinner and made it back to the car just in time to stop an inspector from writing up a ticket...phew!
image
On the way home.

Ah only 3 hours late it isn't that late, to bad you ladies where late but glad you still had fun. I love the night picture of the fountains at dundas square i belive it is called by the hardrock cafe.
vincent - 04/13/06 16:13
I really miss good authentic ingredients imported from Poland real Polish Food. I haven't been on Spadina in years, So Jealous. What saves me is we get some good stuff from a Polish Deli in Hamilton on Barton St every once in a while on our way home from my Uncle's house in Oakville.

Glad you had a good time.
leetee - 04/13/06 13:42
I forgot to ask you if you made it to Kensington Market, just the other side of Chinatown, one block west of Spadina, between Dundas West and College.
uncutsaniflush - 04/13/06 10:33
I assume y'all went up the Q.E.W. My guess this fatal accident was why y'all were late: :::link:::

I'm glad to hear you guys at least got a chance to hear the band and had a nice time in T.O.
leetee - 04/13/06 10:22
The bubbles in bubble tea are tapioca pearls. :::link:::

grab your lederhosen
Category: easter
I stuffed my face with a dozen Cadbury mini eggs last night at (e:jenks)'s. What does this tell you? Easter is upon us. Even if you don't believe in or celebrate the day, I'm sure you still indulge in all the tasty chocolate treats that emerge but once a year. That's not my point so I'll shut up now. Go here:
