Hmmm...well it looks like I have a bad habit of posting about once every 6 months.
This past year has been quite the learning experience. Work at the Treaty Office has been a slow and steady learning experience, in terms of dealing with difficult people, political and family politics, inter-governmental politics and inter office relationships. Who says Anthropology is a useless degree. Thank goodness for...

Awwshucks, thank you. 
So, I haven't updated since August. Oops. The re cap?
I worked for the NDP during the federal election. The candidate I was working for lost.
I decided to stoop and work for Wal Mart only to get a job as the Assistant to the Treaty Implementation Committees for the Huu-ay-aht First Nations one week later. I tried working both for a while, for nearly...

June first, my own personal self imposed deadline for making a decision about leaving Vancouver Island or staying on it. I suppose I'll push it ahead a week, awaiting a call about a job in Northern BC. Student loan deadlines are quickly approaching, as is 25...there is a tremendous amount of pressure, internal and external to be independent. Self reliant if you will. If June...

What do you do when you have a fresh start in an old life? After returning to the island from Halifax I am surrounded again by friends and family. But with no job, no place to live, and uncertainty in relationships where do I start? What do you do when there's no anchor in the one place that should provide it?

that feeling has to be hard...BUT if you need a place to stay I welcome you into my spare room, if you don't have a place yet

A month later and I'm STILL behind in packing and planning. Is this the point where I start begging everyone to help and hope that it all comes together?
Figured it was abou time for an update.
Still in QB, still jobless and still penniless...yet oddly optimistic. I wonder if optimistic can pass as a quality that would matter to employers. I suppose that after this 8 day (and seemingly endless) kid/dog/house sitting stint that I'll have to go back to selling out my soul in retail in hte mean time. The breake was...

Well, it's cool that you're closer, but I can see how it's also not cool. Still, for what it's worth, welcome back.
Sanity is a relative term, though I suppose I can do what I can in that area, even though the phrase "patients running the asylum" comes to mind in writing that... heh.
Good luck with the applications, I hope those French books see some good use in the meantime.

So Montreal kicks ass. To be honest I haven't seen much of the city but it has a good vibe. The conference meetings are in a funky loft art gallery and that helps. So far 90% of the meetings have been creatiive, inpiring, humbling or all three. There was an amazing play on wednesday night based on the book "Speak Truth to Power - Voices...
