Happy Halloween

Mood: Happy
Song of the moment: Oasis - The Shock Of The Lightning

Happy Halloween everyone! I'm not usually a big fan of halloween (because it's so close to my birthday... and it's very rare I can go out for my birthday without it being a halloween-party night. blahh!!). But this year I'm actually excited! Why? Because I get to give out candy :D Last year I was in Detroit so this is my first year giving out candy.

I even carved a pumpkin! :D

Going Back

Time: 9:50pm
Mood: Tired
Song of the moment: Katy Perry - Hot N Cold

This week has been pretty hectic for me so far.  I had to travel to a small town outside Chatham yesterday to complete some material trials for work.  The drive was like driving to Detroit.. the same route, except I got to exit the highway earlier! LoL :D  I had to be there for 9:30am, so waking up at 5:30am was not fun at all!

Today I went back... went back to Waterloo that is!  I was there to do co-op interviews.  Man the co-op program has definitely changed since I was there.  I remember having to photocopy resumes on really nice paper, then going to the drop boxes before the application deadline and apply for jobs.  I think there was one time I actually went in my PJs to make an application deadline! LoL oh the memories!  But now, they just apply online!  I didn't have time to walk around campus and check out the new buildings... I was going to do that during lunch but my interviews went long and it started raining.  Oh well.. maybe next time :D  

I realized something today when I was doing interviews - it's a lot tougher being the interviewer!  After the 4th person (and I interviewed a total of 9) I felt like a broken record.  I was repeating the same thing over and over again.  It was brutal!!  But, I did have fun chatting with the students and getting to know them a bit beyond their resume.  I did however encounter some characters... one of which I will call the "loud talker".  It was like he was yelling at me! LoL

Tomorrow I'm off to Ryerson to do more interviews... but the good thing about tomorrow is I'll be downtown so I get to meet my hubby for lunch! *yay* :D

Chasing Rainbows

Time: 10:44pm
Mood: Enlightened
Song of the moment: New Kids On The Block - 2 In The Morning

I was driving home the other day and it was a wicked sun-shower that was happening. Traffic was rolling along the 407. To my left, I caught a glimpse of what looked like the beginning of a double rainbow. To my right... I saw an end of a rainbow. Then I looked up... and I couldn't believe my eyes....

It was a FULL rainbow.

I donno about you, but I've never seen a full rainbow in Toronto. They're definitely a rarity. The only places I've seen a full rainbow were in Hawaii and New Zealand.

I took a picture of it when I got off the highway - caught just as it started to fade....
