New & New

Ze "Nikita" has arrived ..... lol. Yesterday I took a ride to the country with one of my roomates to a farm. Waiting for us in the barn was one cute, purring, scruffy, SnEeZiN' 2 and a half pounds feline. Brough the little one to the vet and soon after it was allllll the way back home.




Also, starting tomorow morning after 2 months research is my new job in the Est End of Town. Should prove quite interesting. Well let you know how it turns out !

accommodement déraisonnable

Et bien non, il semble bien qu'il n'y aura point de second souper Thanksgiving cette année. La raison ? Des complications dues a une amitié déchirée et maltraitée de par cette invitée de la maison qui ne sue s'organiser ou partir quant il le fallait. Au lieux ce cela la dite invitée continua des semaines durant, de s'immercer de plus en plus profondément dans notre canapé emmitouflé dans sont sac de couchage jusqu'en mis journée et refusant catégoriquement de quitté le logis offert sur une base temporaire. De multiples raisons ont fait de cette situation un véritable calvaire au cours des dernières semaines. Et ce tout spécialement hier lors de la fuite de la dite invitée sans préavis ou aucun signe de vie ci ce n'est que toutes sa panoplie a disparue sans que personne ne puis noté le moment exact de la dite fuite. Autrement dit elle quitta les lieux, incognito et laissa derrière elle une amertume des plus désagréable en bouche. Une note laissée exprès telle une mine anti-personnelle sur un portable pour une possible destination, "un abris temporaire pour les démunies" a motivée sont amie et hôte a partir a sa recherche des heures durant en voiture sans succès. Une ambiance froide et chargé au dehors alors qu'une désagréable pluie commença a tombée avec le couché du soleil prêta main forte a notre petit drame. Entre-temps un flots d'insultes et blâmes digne d'une gamine pré-adolescente continuèrent a défilé sur le cellulaire de mon coloc via messagerie txt et ayant pour cible ses hôtes et jadis amis. Lui qui ne tentait que de remédié à la situation malgré toutes les conneries subies par cette pauvre conne alors que sa blonde arpentait sans cesse les rues à sa recherche. Ce n'est que plus tard en soirée lors de sont retour qu'une information lui est parvenu par l'ex de la dite invitée qu'elle était confortable et bien au chaud dans une chambre loué quelque part en ville....

J'ai rarement rencontré quelqu'un de notre age en mesure de blâmés ses proches et amis pour ses propres malheurs tout en prenant soin leur faire du mal d'une façon que je juge de casi-prémédité. Ses actions, soutenue par une logique que ses problèmes et elle sont le centre de tout ce qui importe réellement ont a mon avis rallié allié et ennemis au même rangs. Une fine ligne partagé que par la réalisation que tous et toutes ne semble existé que pour la servir dans ses délire et scénarios débiles. Autrement-dit et c'est triste à dire, elle est réellement seul maintenant.


Ainsi donc brave gens, voici l'explication en gros du pourquoi le Thanksgiving n'a point eu lieux cette année dans ma nouvelle demeure ainsi qu'une ptite mise a jours sur un accommodement initialement raisonnable qui a "pris le bord" ci je puis m'exprimé ainsi !

First 2010 Thanksgiving & Les Loups in the Gatineau Park.

Wow ! My first 2010 Thanksgiving supper was realllly good. Sweet potatoes as far the eye can see, big bird, salad, squash, filling, cranberries sauce.... Oh and of course I took lead for dessert with my home made kick ass apple pie ! Picked the apples myself a couple of weeks back and followed the secret award winning recipe to the T. Thank you very much Rebecca & Roommates aka our hostess for the night for a delicious meal and Marie for inviting me :) Looking forward to Thanksgiving numero dos at my house this upcoming week-end !

Last friday went hiking with a new acquaintance in the Gatineau Park for a few hours. Hee... it's big ! Did the wolves loop early afternoon; munched on one of the lookout points overlooking the Outaouais River and took a couple of nice pictures including one Tai-chi Emilie ... ;P Clever lass inviting me to hike a trail which incidentally shares the same name as the one I have neglected this year back in the Jacques Cartier Park ! Weather was fair despite the sometime menacing clouds and though the trails was a little "moist" here and there on the way up it was quite enjoyable. Twas good to get my toes dirty so to speak and I'm really looking forward to exploring more of this park which as it turns out is pretty close to my current abode across from the said river.

Usual bitching and follow up...

Helloo People, so the interviews are proceeding smoothly around here. Actually getting call backs and interviews from the various placement agencies and buisness I have applied for. Big difference from the Montreal job search scene, at least as far as I am concerned. Nothing so far but believe you me I am working on it ! Have't explored Ottawa so much as I am in survival/job search mode but did manage to locate a few points of interest. The buses around here are simply amazing time wise ! Course @%#$%#$% expensive and only sold in packs of 6 .. So here is how it works, you need two tickects a pop for adults for a one way trip. With 6 tickets that means you get a round trip and just enought left overs to go somewhere else with not enought to come back. I wonder's who's brilliant idea that was. Etk. Oh crossed the border back into la belle province pour un ptit café en bonne compagnie en fin de semaine. Maudis chemins tout croche @#%#$%$?$?& !! LOL

Apple Pickin' 2010

Apple Pickin' today !!This year I broke with tradition and tried a new Orchard near Ottawa. A little 20 acres called Mountain Orchard in you guessed it the town of Mountain about 45 min out. No mountains to speak of and the service is... well very young and bloody slow %$?$#%?#$%?# But the apple trees where so low you barelly needed to raise your hand to fill you bag with deliciousness. Big juicy apples ripe for the picking and what is this ?! Donuts and fresh cider on the way out ! Oh and the donuts ? Made fresh in front of you and served steaming hot from their oil bath with a dash of cinamon. Mium mium ! 20 pounds for me, 20 pounds for Christie and a couple of well taken photos from Ian. A productive excursion and soooo many yummy pies to come :)

Yup, this will do nicely ... : D

It was nearly a week ago that I moved up yet another river to our nations' capital. The moved went pretty smooth as far as I am concern. Dad had a flat on the trailer on the way to the city before picking me up and I got a tree branch fall square on my head while he was pocking at the car trailer hitch for the bicycle rack. It went as follow:

Tap tap tap with the hammer and screw driver
I joined him on the street
Tap tap tap he went and I eagerly watched
Tap tap toc it went
Down came the tree branch on my head
Out came the metal cover from the car trailer hitch
Out laughing in the street went the rest of our merry moving crew.


Had lunch and about an hour or so later left the city packed up to our hears in both vehicles + one low ridding trailer. Had supper on the local burger joint and after a good brunch Sunday morning my helpers headed back home and I was left to unpack my crap with the occasional break to snoop around the neighborhood. I gotta say I think I like it here ! I counted 4 outdoors, kayak & Canoe shops within 5 min walking distance from my new abode and another 2 min to the nearest dedicated bus line not to mention a very short car ride to the bridge connecting this side of the country with la Belle Province. Took me 10 min yesterday to get downtown via the dedicated bus line for an interview thought I'll admit the usage of two bus tickets for a one way pass in order to differentiate kids from adults is a little weird... Just print different colors people. Oh and I get the feeling I'm going to miss the magnetic / rechargeable bus card. Already yesterday I was searching franticly through my pockets for the ever-elusive paper ticket, lol. Got a burger and breakfast joints right around the corner and I was informed via a tasting sample (salami on cream cheese on fresh bagel) from my roommate that the cousin or uncle to the owner of St Viateur bagels has a shop nearby also. Same recipe just a little less time dedicated to the rising of the doe =denser bagels. Yaaaaaa I think I might still have gobble those up with cream cheese. Just to be fair to the St Viateur family you know... Can't show any favoritism now can I ? ;P All in all this place is turning out to be pretty sweet.


Oh and we go a very sociable & mellow rabbit walking the grounds around the house.





P.S. Dad had another flat tire about one hour out of the capital while heading back home… Driving back this weekend to get it fixed… AGAIN ! Lol , naahhh not funny though....

Gas in the city & the Ungreatfull Troll

FWI yestrday the Gas was at 99.9 off the 40 heading North and only 5 minutes later off Decary it was at 108.... Just saying' Oh and yes I did fill up at 99.9 on this occasion !

Next on the agenda is the ever growing listing of pet peeves.

Number 34 : If you can't do your work without bitching and putting the fault on others who are helping you by the way. Don't go around all hight and mythy when they try to share an olive branche. That little troll came in at 3 pm (I at 12) at work and had the nerve to tell me he did't mind doing over time and I quote cry over it. I just did half of your work at the expence of half of mine with one hour of overtime and this is the thanks I get !!! His work had priority, obviously. Hence I obliged but my shift was over an hour ago so really the only thing keeping me there: doing HIS work since he did't have time and to try and keep the system from crashing and him out of trouble. So why is it that I' ll be in trouble come monday and that little pinheaded dwarf of a troll will most likelly be walking on sunshine !?! And another thing, next time I try and do someone of the kind a favour, shoot me !
