Liberal Government Falls In No-Confidence Vote!!!

28 November - Unfortunattly it's the CANADIAN Liberal government over here, and they're nomenclature is slightly more appropriate than the ones in Australia. Not the conservative party but not the socialist party either. Although as one housemate said, they're veen accused of "Campaigning As The Left and Governing As The Right" (i like that sayingP.
Freezing cold this morning - our balcony was slick with ice and a lot of the cars were completely frosted up in the morning and despite wearing leggings that just would not stay up (whenever I was in a lift alone I would have to yank up my shorts and hike them up to my crotch) and a couple of layers it was really, really cold. There were also only three of us on today (Stu was absent and Crystal called in sick (her home city of Edmonton's football team won the CFL Grey Cup yesterday so that may have had something to do with it)) and I was the busiest i've been since I first started. It wasn't raining thankfully but the cold didn't ease off until early afternoon and I was completely run off my feet all day (have seemed to work out the fmeatood situation a bit better now by bringing pita breads that are pretty resilient to the battering they get and just stopping for a couple of minutes no matter how busy I am whenever I go further afield of the city's core) and was still picking up dropping off until five thirty, much later than normal. The dispatcher said I had a great day and I made loads of money and asked if I wanted to know how much, when he told me how much it actualy was I almost laughed at how little it was. It'll be good to get my first commission cheque so I can truly estimate how much it is i'll be getting and what my budget is going to be for the next year (or however long I stick with this profession) but I knew i'd never be doing this job for the money. Came home (when the sun goes down it gets really chilly) and did a bit of shopping, was very disappointed that they only had milk chocolate mcvities digestives and not the plain or dark chocolate I hungered for until I realised that they had type of biscuit called an 'arnotts original' which had the same style packaging and appearance of a tim tam packet. Unfrotunately it was not a dark chocolate original but it was a time tam nonetheless, another little bit of home found (quite a lot of australiana has a presence over here, mostly branded differendtly but sometimes the same bakers delight = cobs bread; tim tams = originals; flight centre, IGA (does that stand for independent grocers of australia or association??? I don't know and I don't really car either). Also watched the extremely disappointing final episode of a pretty average thriller called 'Prison Break' but not before smoking Gandalf's pipe,which almost made it worth watching ... Almost.
