I attended our AGM for the strata last night. We had less then 1/3 of the homeowners be accounted for. Kind of lame since the people who were there and there by proxy were making decisions for everyone else. There was resolution put to the table, and the council wanted to put forth the idea of installing another gate for our parkade for security purposes. Nobody would have to pay extra for it because it would have come from our budget, but for some strange reason, the majority voted no on the gate. Why? I have absolutely no idea. Maybe they thought it would be an inconvenience. Actually, I think that's really stupid. Why *wouldn't* you want increased security for no extra cost? Is having to open another gate that difficult? I keep my spell checker on in Firefox. Some words that it does not recognise is:
How anti-Canadian! I got into work nice and early. It doesn't look like the boss is going to be in! YEEEEAH! I am leaving at 3:30 on the dot so I can go home to prepare for the weekend. First thing to do: shower. Second thing to do: ICE CUPCAKES!! YEEEEAH! I am thinking of backing out on my interview Tuesday. Even though the experience of doing the interview would be a good one, at this point in time, I wouldn't want to spend 2+ hours a day of commuting to and from work (should I get the job). Moreover, there are only 50 employees in that office. I want to work for a larger office. Yesterday, I had 3 missed calls from a cell phone number I did not recognise. I hope it's not the P Man. |

I spend nearly 2 hours a day commuting to work, while it's sometimes stressful it really hasn't bothered me as much as I had thought it might. Of course I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't really love my job.
Parkade--is that like a garage or something?

I just got used to half an hour of driving to work! And I still don't really like it. But I guess everyone saying I'd get used to it were right. My last job required a 10 minute drive!
BWAHAHA Parkade...yes, you park your car there. They're usually multi-level. An American friend visited once and thought it was a strange term.

Actually, it's recognize. That's how I've always spelled it and seen it spelled anyway. And I assume Firefox is American, so it's not about to pay heed to the Queen's English.

I know ;) I was just being facetious. "recognise" is the English English form of "recognize" and both are accepted in Canada. I am just a traditionalist!

here are the oxford definitions of the 3 words:-
1. recognise v.1, v.2 vars. of RECOGNIZE v.1, v.2
2. Poutine (not found in US or British English)
3. parkade /pked/ n. Chiefly N. Amer. M20. [f. PARK n., v. + -ADE, prob. after arcade.] A building designed and constructed for the parking of vehicles; a multi-storey car park.
