Change of Habit

So it's been almost 2 wks of a change. I've gotten my butt up too early to even admit. It's so early that I only see my normal 6:30am training group on my way out the door. Yes I'm crazy but the birds are awake, so is the sun, and P and I get out the door together..

I'm hoping to take a few more pics this weekend. Short winded and dead tired...

Looking on the Bright Side

Today was supposed to be rainy, with changes in the afternoon. We were all hoping for this since the weather changed on us this weekend and was not as nice as they predicted. Wouldn't it be nice to have a job where you could be wrong 90% of the time and still keep your job!

So we actually had sunshine and warm temps this afternoon. Yeah! We also had a lot of vancouver mist, which I don't mind much.

But I was so tired today, I napped for 2 hrs this evening. I guess the lack of sleep is catching up to me. I'm crossing my fingers for a good sunny weekend to snap some new photos.

Allusion in Immigration Canada

Allusion With Canadian Immigration...
The Saga... The more I learn about CIC incompetence...

I'm really tired of the crap CIC tries to pull on people. Well it's been well over 2 wks time and a good 10 plus mailing business days and it's still a no show for the "decision made" letter that has supposedly happened. As I mentioned first, I wouldn't be holding my breathe for this since I have absolutely no faith in their incompetence. I couldn't call this week but P tried for me. What a waste as he's not aloud to do anything even after answering all security questions.

To top things off, their website is so inaccurate it really pisses me off. Why CIC Immigration do you have to allude and lie to people??? Don't put inappropriate information on your website when you know it's completely false..

And anyone if you actually happen to try want to call CIC for information they claim you can attain via the phone, stop wasting your time. It doesn't work.

Here's the detailed Call Centre link which is a waste of time.

Our automated telephone service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have a touch-tone telephone, you can

  • listen to pre-recorded information about Citizenship and Immigration programs,
  • order application kits, and (Sorry can't do that unless you speak to an agent.)
  • check the status of your application. (Sorry can't do that unless you speak to an agent.)
Don't bother Calling CIC unless its a week day! I'll update you when I have something better to say but sorry guys, since waiting from October 2005, I have a reason to be impatient...

The Child Menu


Join the blogroll. Visit participants.
This weeks Photo Hunt Theme is Childhood.



This is a pic of my little buddy while were on a hike at Lac Tannay.
He was playing around and talking to me at lunch when I captured this photo.
I'm hoping to go back and visit him again in Switzerland, but next time he'll be all grown up. Well not that much but enough to be a lot bigger than the "little man" that he was back then.. In fact he now has 2 younger brothers who are about the age he was in this photo now.

Where in the World?

This is my favorite week of the year on the NBC morning show. Why do you ask?

This week Matt Lower is traveling the world, and traveling to many places I want to visit. Matt is off on his world wind tour, with the famous Where in the World is Matt Lower song, keeping us guessing on where he will be next. He already visited us near Seattle Washington and then was off to Ireland.

I don't have the time to follow him this week but you bet I've been checking in as I can. I think the sense of adventure is what gets me excited and wanting to watch. Check out where Matt is going on his website.

Unfortunately, I've been re-arranging/flipping my schedule upside down and of course my body is rejecting these crazy changes. Try not swimming for a week and see what your body thinks...
