Edmonton was recently rated the worst Canadian major city for women to live in.
Yikes!
I feel as if I am contained in a lovely little rose tinted bubble that shields me from this harsh statistic. The engineering office I work in is not your typical Old Boys Club. There are of course more men than women but I still feel like I can progress based on my own merit. In my lucky little pocket of Edmonton, the older men I encounter at work are quite approachable and generous with their help and knowledge. Plus there are well-respected and extremely competent women to boot. Boo-yah!
I've made a strange discovery. While taking it easy on my body lately, I mistakenly assumed that less practices would mean more delicious home rest for me. [INSERT GAME SHOW WRONG ANSWER BUZZER HERE] Nope. It turns out when I remove dance, something else takes its place. I now suspect I have workaholic tendencies. At midnight last night I was still in the office, cleaning up schematics. Even my fish were stopping and staring at me like "GO HOME SO THE LIGHTS CAN GO OFF AND WE CAN FINALLY SLEEP."
You know it's bad when you leave work and get weirded out if it's still light outside.
Fortunately neuromuscular therapy is a wondrous thing, and I am getting back into the dance grind, slowly but surely.
Mind Farts
-The Grand Budapest Hotel = awesome movie. awesome awesome awesome
-rice stir fry overdose over. i'm back to sampling random ready-made stir fry sauces and seasonings when preparing work lunches
-seaweed in stir fry brown rice = divine
-new obsession: caramelized onion hummus. Superstore makes a wicked Vidalia onion one
-randomly saw a Korean melodrama about a werewolf boy ... and enjoyed it! even if it was a melodrama. loved the awkward dinner scenes
-heard a fascinating talk on "fecal transfer" on CBC radio when i was driving home one night. eat healthy person's poo = revolution? this could be our future, if we can manage to make ingesting poo easier to stomach (haaaa pun intended). pretty shiny pill form maybe? this could solve allergies and weight gain! even autism experiments were successful. the potential is mind-boggling
