a blonde's password

During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofy

When asked why such a big password, she said that it had to be at least 8 characters long.

The Gym

So, it's Probably about time I lost some of the 30+ pounds I gained 3 years ago from a certain blonde baby. Anyhoo....

So, I joined the gym about a month ago. It's across the street from work, and I go with a co-worker @ lunch hour. It seems to work well, cuz I don't have any other time I could really go.

Funny story about it.

Ethan said the other day..."You know...I can really tell you've been going to the gym".

Me "Yeah right..it's only been a few weeks...quit sucking up etc. etc."....

Him, "not because how you look...because...you are less CRANKY"....

WAAA HAA HAAA

It's fairly true though. Maybe I haven't lost much weight or anything at this point....but it sure is a good stress relief if nothing else.

Give A Day. Get a Disney Day.

Saw this from my brother (disney employee), and had to pass it on, because CANADIANS can do it too!!

I'm honestly a bit scared to take Sarah to disneyland at this point. A few hours at Calaway is enough to send her into full meltdown mode...but I'm working on re-newing our passports, just incase we get out of Canada at some point in the next 5 years.

Watch the news tonight ;)

Well, I was just interviewed by city tv news, cbc radio AND a photo shoot with the Calgary Herald! Definitley a memorable lunch break :)It was for a support the troops telus rally. It was a good experience. They raised $15,000 for the calgary military family resource center (which have helped our family out a lot). I wonder if I'll make the cut. I think they will probably use some of my ctv interview, and hopefully a photo....not sure about the cbc radio one though...I kinda fumbled through it, as she asked me about afghanistan etc....

For Michelle

Since I think you are one of the only ones who reads my blog...I will write a post for you. Especially since I'm feeling guilty for not updating.

Michelle...remember when you use to use my computer to write me letters and make me powerpoint presentations when I was out? heeee...I hope you are keeping up on your computer skills. I'm in need of an assistant asap! come work for me.

Hmm...what else. Nothing to report. We're still in Calgary indefinitley....most likely for another year or so....Considering our house is worth like $20,000 LESS than we paid for it...it's probably good we're not selling yet.

oh, I have lots of things I want to blog about, but I never get around to it...so, I'm going to write myself a reminder. Here are the things I must blog about.

Job Interview Tips

Well, yesterday I spent 6 hours interviewing people. And...I have some advice.

1) Don't tell looooong stories which stray far off the questions.
2) think about the questions for a few seconds before you try to fumble through an answer...
3) don't give super short answers...and sound like you are getting annoyed that they are similar to previous questions...
4) watch your use of umm/like/"you know"...
5) do I bit of research about the place you are applying for...if you didn't...don't ask dumb questions about the place...pretend you at least know something!
6) act like you actually want the job....
7) bring a portfolio, if your job is something graphic/web etc. brownie points!

we did find a couple of good people....luckily for us, we got lots of applicants!!

Come work with me :) We're hiring!

Just incase there are some fellow multimedia geeks reading my blog....we're hiring again....let me know if you apply...I've got connections...I mean...I am a connection ;) hee.
