a day for results

twenty-seven years and one million words

Halifax, 2004.02.04

Today was a bit of a banner day. The explosive email that I sent out yesterday about the 28oC air temperature in the office got some results. The facilities manager got an engineer in from the building management, and they found a number of problems.

Then at noon the fellow came from the movers and repaired the furniture that had gotten broken (and in one case, lost then broken).

Then I actually managed to accomplish something at the office - my first project is getting off the ground during my fifth week. Which is actually not bad for a permanent job.

Then I went down to the gov'ts offices and got myself a nova scotia driver's license in the space of maybe twenty minutes. Just in and out, without any mailing or anything. And when I got back to my building, the manager told me that my name had come up on 'the list', and that I'd be getting a storage unit for my ~40 boxes. W'hoo!

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
