Want a job as an RCMP dispatcher? Now's the time!

Dear friends,

If you're a Canadian citizen and feel like being a dispatcher for the RCMP in Montreal, now's the time. We have 10 slots open this Saturday for a French-language Telecoms Operator Aptitude Test (TOAT).

Call before 17:00 today (Friday, February 13th) and tell us you're interested, and show up tomorrow for the test.

The number for the RCMP in Montreal is (514) 939 8300, or 1 (866) 874 3972.

You MUST be bilingual, and you MUST be a Canadian citizen. Everything else, we'll test for. :)

Same sh*t, different day

I got my hair cut. My hairdresser clucked over me and expressed her astonishment that my hair hadn't grown back more in the last five months. She then did a great job cutting my hair, and true to form wrecked the effect by putting in more product than an eighties metal band. Good thing it washes out.

I am TIRED of being at work, and can't wait until Monday. My supervisor sent me a snippy email: apparently I forgot to fill one of the printers during shift changeover. Oops. Still, not worth giving me a dressing-down, no matter how mild.

Another supervisor has sent me a metric assload of work, oh and could he have it by yesterday, please? Uh, no. I will do it when I have time. Probably this weekend.

The guy on loan from Ontario, while very nice and a quick learner, is not good to work with. He's so afraid of doing something wrong that he doesn't do ANYTHING. He won't touch the phone when it rings, which is the only thing I've asked him to do. So I've been doing ALL the work all week. It's not been that busy (except the past two days), so it's not so bad, but I'm not accustomed to having no backup at all.

He also chose last night to delve into what everyone in an office wants to talk about: politics. Oh, joy. I could go on at length, but I can sum it up thusly: he's a LOT more right-wing than I am, thinks the United States is the cat's meow ("They go in to defend democracy when no one else will!"), that there is no such thing as peak oil, that even if peak oil does exist, technological advancement will save us, and that Canada made the worst mistake ever when we started allowing immigrants in without quotas and sponsors and the like. Oh, and of course, socialized medicine is bad.

Save me.
