shaw cable sucks ass!!! I was right in the middle of uploading day 9 to my Hong Kong, when the guy came to disconnect. So day nine isn't complete, I'll fix that as soon as I get home, in a week and a half or so. Everybody repeat after me "shaw sucks,shaw sucks,shaw sucks,shaw sucks,shaw sucks,shaw sucks,shaw sucks"
So now that I don't have an internet connection, I for sure won't be doing any updates...
PEACE, DAMMIT!

Server change..... I've finally had enough of shaw fucking me around... they are coming to disconnect tomorrow. I've moved things again, and I'm pretty sure they will be moving again in a little while.
On the upside, I've just renewed the evjen.ca domain for two years, which cost about $60 bucks. (don't tell Kathy)
I'm on holidays. I know I promised a bunch of things to get done this week, but I'm on holidays.
Summer is great.

Weird... check this out... www.colorgenics.com/intro.html
You are striving for a life full of activity and experience and, perhaps even more, an environment where you would be able to forge a close bond with a person who can offer full emotional fulfilment.
You are feeling very disillusioned at this time and you feel that you are being left out of things. You know - or you think you know - what you want, but you seem unable to exert the effort to achieve your objectives. As a consequence, you are feeling left out and neglected. You would like to be afforded greater security and fewer problems.
Conditions are rather confusing at this time. You would like to involved with a particular person or a particular situation butyou are holding back. You find it difficult to make a decision.
Recently everything seems to have gone wrong and so you are experiencing considerable stress and anxiety due to mental conflict. A continuous case of 'Should I?' or 'Shouldn't I?'. At this particular moment in time you feel as if you have reached the end of your tether and it seems impossible to ever rectify the situation and so you have decided, perhaps quite unrealistically, to postpone making any further decisions. Disappointment and unfulfilled hopes have given rise to despondency. This conflict between hope and necessity is creating considerable pressure. Instead of resolving this by facing up to making the essential decision, you are likely to immerse yourself in the pursuit of trivialities as an escape route.
The tensions that you are trying to cope with are a result of conditions which are really beyond your control. As a consequence of this almost impossible situation and not being able to get your own way, you are subjected to frustration and almost ungovernable anger. You are trying to remedy the situation but the stress that you are experiencing is making the situation even worse. You feel so inadequate that you are not quite sure which way to turn. A good suggestion would to be to try to relieve the stress and anxiety by participating in some very active physical activity which will relieve your tension.
Anxiety and a restless antagonism, as a result of unfulfilled emotional needs, has resulted in considerable stress. You are trying to overcome this by working and playing extremely hard - but at all times you have your future in mind. You are a worker and as a result of your inherent enthusiasm you cannot fail.

Today I am in Whitehorse, in the Yukon! Mike, my old instructor is in town too. What a great place, today is very sunny, but a little cool. The folks at the airport here are great, they've given us the use of their truck for the night. Yeehaw, sunday night in Whitehorse, I'm sure we can find trouble if we look hard enough. Or maybe not.. :)

Here we go, the crazyness has begun. I am no longer a "hangar attendant", I am kinda in limbo between now and when I return to Saskatoon as a CSA. In the interim, I am very busy working for the training department again. I am so excited, this time I get to go to Whitehorse! I love this training job, there is just enough office time, to enjoy the office, and there is enough on the road time to enjoy being on the road, and not get sick of either one! I love it! Stay tuned to this spot, because I can write to this space easily from anywhere on the planet.... Whitehorse, Calgary, Saskatoon, Hong Kong....

Pictures deleted due to space.
I was in Victoria yesterday, it was great. As soon as I walked off the plane, I could smell the flowers blooming. It was very cool.
The first picture is of Mount Baker in Washington.
The second picture is of a "straight tail" DC-3, I've never seen one like that before.
The third picture, is the bench I was sitting on while I was phoning people, if you click on the thumbnail, you will see an enlarged picture, and Mount Baker is in the background.
The fifth picture, is the little store where I bought some oysters, mmmm.
The last picture is sunset on the ramp in YYJ. I wish all my training excursions could be like this.

Here is the news! I'm going back to work in Saskatoon. I'm not moving, I'm just going to commute there for work.
On other news, I am very excited to be going to Victoria on monday, to do some ramp training there. I havn't been to Victoria in a long time, hopefully it will be nicer weather than here. (it is snowing today)
Tuesday, I come back to Calgary.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I'll be working my job here in Calgary.
Saturday, I am going to Whitehorse, again to do some ramp training, it should be very cool! I'm not sure how long I'll be there, probably until Monday morning. Monday, I'll head for Saskatoon.
Tuesday, Wednesay and Thursday, I'll be working my old job in Saskatoon.
If everything goes right, Thursday night Greg and I will be leaving for Hong Kong. ( I was supposed to work on Friday, but I did a shift trade. Jason, you are a life saver! You ROCK! )
Hopefully, I'll be able to do some updates here between now and then.

Different Economies.....
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM:
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows.
No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public buys your're bull.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and
produce twenty times the milk.
You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimono' and market them World-Wide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Both are mad.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
You break for lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
You count them again and learn you have 12 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you.
You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You claim full employment and high bovine productivity.
You have the newsman who reported on the numbers arrested.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.
FILIPINO VERSION OF A CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You roast them and have a fiesta.

So what is new with me? Well, lots actually. I'm going back to work in Saskatoon! I can't believe I'm doing it, but I'm actually looking forward to it. I think I'm more excited to work there than I was when I started with the company!
In other news, on the flying job front, things are looking up! I hope!! ( I don't want to say much now, I don't want to jinx anything. )
Other than that, Whitehorse here we come!
