Looking good!
So what's been going on? Over all, not much.
I saw an article in one of the free local papers saying that Best Buy is coming to Kingston. So I applied on line with the on-line interview. At the end it said there were no postions availble and figured that was it, no big deal. A few days later I get a call for a live interview with them.
It looks like it went well. I have a third and final interview on Tuesday. The only downside is that the store doesn't open untill late November/ early December.
This past Tuesday we got a puppy. He's a 7 week old Beagle/Basset cross. We named him Nova, short for Cassanova. When we took him for his first walk all he wanted to do was follow the ladies around. It was kind of funny. Mind you he seemed like the "model" types more. I'll put some pics up soon. Of the dog, not the women he picks up.
We'll be giving our notice at the end of the month. We need to move. This place is just rediculous. I shouldn't have to call in a hhousing standrads enforcement officer to get a fucking floor tile replaced. Besides, assuming I get the job, I'd like to live a little closer to work. Having to get across town to be at work for 6 am, without a car, can be difficult.

Almost there.
Yup. Almost there.
It's been a rough week. Some/most of the repairs are done. The entry way has an indoor/outdoor carpet installed. Some of the glue is still wet in spots but most of our stuff is back where it belongs. Most importantly we have our kitchen back!
Logan is back in school and seems to be enjoying himself. He's there for half days for the next 2 weeks. After that he's in for full days. YES!
Add to that that Carrie's back at school this year too. I actually have some alone time! Question is: What am I going to do?
I'm getting depressed about not having a job. I've had several interviews, but none have panned out. It's not like I can't do the jobs I've applied for. I know I'm doing EVERTHING right in the interviews, being positive, friendly, enthusiastic, knowlegedable, answering any question they throw at me with confidence.
I know what I want to do. I know how much it'll cost. Probelm is I don't have access to money. My credit is fucked up, so I can't get a persoanl loan. Can't get a studant loan becasue the school is in the US and isn't a "recognised" educational establishment. All I need is $5000.00 CDN. and everything is covered for me.
Shit, it's getting to the point where some days I feel like selling sexual favors. At least I'd be doing something.

It's about freaking time!
Ever since we moved into our apartment we've been asking the super to do some fixing up.
None of it should have been a big deal, but none of it got done unless it was ABSOLUTELY necessary(like fixing the toilet or shower). Every time we asked we'd get told "it's not in the budget" and it would be avoided.
Well, a few weeks ago we got fed up and called the Housing Tribunal. They suggested that I contact the City Property Standards Officer. He came by on Wednesday and looked around. He took some note and told us he'd make a few call and be back in about 3 weeks.
Thursday the super came by asking what stuff needed to get done because the landlord called him with a list of things that had to be done by Sunday.
Friday the wife and I cleaned out the entryway area. So our kitchen is a fucking disaster. We have shit sitting outside and we now have no spes in place to GET IN OR OUT of the apartment. The super Pulled them off the wall, yanked up the crappy linoleum flooring and layed down a layer of thin cement over half the floor.
Later today I'll have to help move the stairs so he can lay the rest of the cement, and hopefully tonight put the new flooring in.
Damn. I know I wanted the repairs done, but being "trapped" inside wasn't part of the deal! At least people won't be killing themselves by tripping the the holes in the floor...
