Crawford

No, it's not the perfect job - I have to get up early because it's a long drive, if possible they have even less of a social outlet than CLS, and it's never easy learning new systems especially one's as complex as CMS. But all that aside, I'm still happy to be working for Crawford Adjusters. They seem really invested in me - like they think I'm amazing or something. Not only that but my supervisor is an absolute doll - she's so sweet and caring.

Sure my office could use a little sprucing up and personalizing but it's big and it's mine! The IT team set up my computer today and they actually knew what they were doing - even though they're located in Toronto! No more helpess desk for me! Everyone at the office seems very much aware of the fact that I'm being taken under the managers wing to be trained as an adjuster and so it feels like I'm heading somewhere.

I was afraid it might be a bit lonely since everyone always seems so busy (and I miss my afternoon walk buddy) but I have made myself a lunch buddy named Sanaa and I've found that people like to stop by each others offices throughout the day to say hi (especially if you happen to have candy on your desk). Oh and it's sooo nice to work around guys again! CLS was a very female dominated environment whereas Crawford has a nice healthy mix.

I'm just taking things one day at a time but so far I'm happy and it's nice to be happy again.

past perfect

One thing continually bothers me as I read Diana Gabaldon's richly detailed story of Claire Beauchampe, a doctor who innocently walks into a stone formation in Scotland and winds up in 16th century Scotland. Much has happened since this beginning...Claire has married Jamie Fraser the young and impressive Scottish Laird (against her wishes), fallen madly in love with him regardless of a precarious beginning to their relationship, followed him around as they attempt to evade the English, fought with him at the battle of Culloden, been forced back through the stones to safety with their unborn child, raised their child with her ambiguous husband from the future, returned after her child had grown up so that she could find him, made a new life with him in an American Colony, and been surprised by the appearance of her daughter and new son in law in 16th century America. Through their many, often rediculous, adventures there is that one thing that my brain ...

Gingerbread Cupcakes!

Well here they are, my rendition of a cupcake featuring ginger - in this case gingerbread cupcakes! I thought they turned out pretty good. I added 1/2 a cup more milk than I was supposed to and yet they managed to turn out fairly good texture wise. The flavour is a lot like gingerbread (with a few extra helpings of ginger) and the icing is a cream cheese icing.

Jonathan

I wanted to take a few minutes to write about someone who became very dear to me in a very short time. Jonathan and I had been exchanging regular e-mails asking each other everything about our lives and hopes and dreams. I tend to be a very private person (runs in my family), so I wouldn't normally share this much with someone I've only known for such a short time, but after reading his first few e-mails I found myself surprisingly comfortable with this partial stranger. Over the months of getting to know each other I learned about his past, his hopes for his future, and even the sweet little details like what he wants to name his first child. We talked theology, philosophy, literature, movies, and anything else that popped up. Eventually we made plans to get together and went out for tea at a local tea house. Despite live music that, though well performed, made conversation difficult, we talked and enjoyed our time together. We continued to dat...
