As a gift to , I finally got off my bum and made a “blondie” icon last night. I also got down with my Macromedia self and have started the long and arduous process of relearning how to make GIFs, this time using Fireworks rather than ImageReady. Soon there will be a Silver Snail GIF among my repertoire!<\/p>\n

Also, I will be joining in her job search. My secondment with Tourism ends September 20th, and I will move heaven and earth to avoid returning to my old job. As such, I’m beginning a rigorous campaign of daily job applications, hoping that a scattershot method of littering the government with my resume will yield at least one or two interviews before the end of August. <\/p>\n

Yesterday I applied to an Administrative Co-ordinator position at Management Board Secretariat at the same classification as my current job, and an Admin Assistant job at Community and Social Services at my old classification. Today I’m going to revamp my cover letter to apply to be a case worker with the Office of Mining and Lands, and again as a case worker for the Family Responsibility Office. The positive side of that last job is that it’s in Downsview – close to home – and it involves filing papers to chase down deadbeat dads – a rewarding occupation, no doubt. <\/p>\n

In a separate note for JVL: I took the Maple Leaf bus<\/a> this morning! It left our house at about 7:40am and arrived at the subway station at 8:05am.<\/i>
