Morning coffee

Wake up at 8 am and have coffee on balcony

Mazda

My ride, I have an interview. I live in oil country which means our economy is in the pooper. I made it to the 5th round of layoffs at a company I've been at for 10 years. I'm an experienced, educate business professional and have applied to around 100 jobs and this is only my 3rd interview.

Interview

Waiting for my interviewer, swanky digs

Condo

I own a rental property and after having to pay my mortgage on my credit cards for 2 months I have a renter moving in tomorrow! ????

Sink

I fix stuff because I'm too cheap to hire someone. Put in a nice new sink for my renter.

Walk

Condo is ready to go, time to go for a walk and grab some lunch.

View

Sweet view

Food trucks

So many food trucks, I don't know what to choose!

Poutine

A special take on a Canadian classic, butter chicken poutine. HECK YA!

Street performer festival

It's festival season, lots of entertainment. It's my fave time of year.

Beer 1

Stop on a patio for a beer

Beer 2

And another just because

Flowers

I forgot my mums birthday was today, better get her some flowers.

Dessert

Festival must have, Beaver tail. Gotta go drop off my flowers now

Rain

Oh great now it's raining but still sunny?

Rain 2

Still sunny and raining wtf

Walk

Took my mummy for dinner, all she wanted was Chinese food, need to go for an after dinner walk through the woods.

Walk 2

This bridge is being closed for demolition tomorrow, need to experience the awesome view 1 last time.

Walk 3

Nice

TIL: our neighbors to the north call them "beaver tails" instead of "elephant ears".

I too am an unemployed Canadian. It seems a BA(hons), 2 diplomas, and 2 post-grad certificates can't land me a job. 1000+ resumes sent out.
