an ampersand in the Empire of Signs

Oh my. How could I let so much time go by and not let people know what's going on? Six weeks since my last post! Two weeks since I go some very good news: The Canadian Government granted my request for an open work permit. I guess the silence was a reflection of the funk I was settling into, but now that I have my work permit, there's no excuse for the funk. I gotta get my ass out of the chair and in gear. Time to find a job!

And on one last note: God Bless Canada! I've noticed that Canadians have a tendency to bemoan their government bureaucracy, but I am repeatedly convinced that the opposite is true: Canada has one of the fairest, most objective and most streamlined government bureaucracies I've ever encountered. Is it perfect? Of course, not. But their policies are clear and rational. Their requirements are reasonable. Processes are straightforward. Most importantly, Canada is one of the few countries that recognizes the legitimacy of our relationship, thereby offering me the opportunity to receive this work permit.

Now I just need to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!
