I can't get enough of my PB & J on toasted carbs. Organic smooth peanut butter and chunky strawberry preserves (Yay! St. Dalfour!) on thick toasted multi-grain bread of half a bagel is really satisfying. (I just got the opportunity to eat what I was going to have for breakfast.)

Facebook is interesting. I get a chance to be a voyeur.

I also got a second opinion on the HPV vaccination. The doctor felt I probably already had trace amounts of HPV (after having asked me a couple of questions) and getting the vaccination would be a waste of money. He suggested I get annual paps instead. 

For the last couple of weeks, I've been writing an article for our software about e-waste. It started off as an article about recycling PCs, but the article just kind of moved off in a different path. A lot of the research I've found troubles me. There is a really big American company (who shall remain nameless) that is attempting to be greener, so it has e-waste recycling days. It's unclear if all the stores across the country participate or just a select few. This company also claims to recycle plastic bags, but it just actually throws them away.

Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if this company just had its e-waste disposed off in an unfriendly manner. There are proper ways to dispose of e-waste, but companies often ship this stuff to other  countries who are lax on environmental policy. Workers break the e-waste down and extract the use-able stuff. The only thing is that e-waste contains harmful materials when you break them down like that! Whoever deals with this stuff ends up exposed to these harmful materials. These materials include lead and mercury. So...if you should ever recycle your old electronics, make sure to check how it's really recycled.

Our new office manager is great. She just sent out a form for everyone's emergency contact information. However, this form she created also asks for my Social Insurance, Driver's license, and passport numbers. I think I will leave those blank because I don't believe my company needs this information. It already has my SIN for tax purposes, and that's the only time they need it!
