just realized I spelt receptionist incorrectly in a previous post - hey, my job was to answer the phones and read the paper.

Biggest mileage week since training for the marathon - everything aches, the heat pack and I are getting well acquainted.

Things I am required to document daily:
search and rescue training with dogs
my running/racewalking training
my job search
And on the topic of job search, I have compiled a list of jobs I've had since moving to Canada 11 years ago. I like this list because it defies cohesion in a resume. You say flaky employment history, I say colourful.
To reduce the list I will not include temporary work (less than a month) as a job.

- waitress - Zugg's vegetarien restaurant
- shop assistant/muffin baker - Croissant Express (a natural foods bakery)
- Calendar laminating - damn, I don't even remember what that business was called
- Golf course mower and flower deadheader - the military golf course right by the Ottawa Airport
- Receptionist - working for the company of the guy who owned the Senators hockey team
- coffee pimp - grabbajabba (*worst job ever)
- frozen yogurt maker - back at Croissant Express, I think out of pity, Jean-Yves the owner, invented this job. I had a key to the store, I kept track of my own hours, my job was to make batches of frozen yogurt and occasionally come up with new flavours. (*candidate for best job ever)
- coffee pimp/wordperfect pimp - Corel Corporation
- jewellery manufacturing - beecool body jewellery (*close second worst job ever)
- web stuff - eyewire

I can't decide whether I need the Designer Tote Collection, the Cream Quilted Ann Gish Bed or the custom Chinese Birds and Flowers in Four Seasons Canopy Bed.

rhinorrhea; nosebleed
melanohistoma; black tissue tumor
acromycosis; abnormal condition of fungus in the extremities
well, I think those are the definitions according to the flash cards from Programmed Medical Language.

a study evening at SAIT. Touching people is weird, necessary for an EMT to do their job, but still a little weird. The rubber arm for practising IV's is terrifying. The rubber forearm is filled with squishy granules and two giant tubes to simulate veins. The "veins" extend past the severed ends of the arm and dangle just a little. The rubber over the veins has almost opened up from the few million practise needles - and then I look at my own forearm, the forearm a fellow student will be jabbing their own needle into. Today I wish I had 4 gauge veins.
