Enough of the cold weather – hurry up summer!

December 6, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

IMG_1510

You know … I just realized that today is Thursday. I’ve been so busy with my puppy lately and so tired as a result that I seem to have lost track of the days!

I’m already longing for summer. It’s been so cold here in the last week! Lots of snow, ice and rain and temperatures below freezing most of the time. Yuck.

I can’t wait for Spring and then Summer … especially now that we have a dog. The beach will become one of our regular destinations to take the dog I’m sure. It will be fun to walk along the boardwalk and the sandy beach with Midnight.

Being a Labrador Retriever I’m certain she’ll love the beach too, and I won’t be the least bit surprised if she does some swimming in the lake either.

The Snow Cave

November 22, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

It’s supposed to snow here tonight. If it doesn’t snow at the very least we’re going to get freezing rain. Yuck!

This is a photo that I took a few years ago when we went to the beach area here in Toronto in January. Believe it or not it was a nice day and it was fun walking along the beach and by the water and discovering interesting formations like this snow cave that the water, snow and ice had created.

Sorry this post is so late. I’ve been feeling bad most of the week and all my posts have been delayed.

Winters not here and I’m already longing for Spring!

November 18, 2007 by Tricia

Join Green Thumb Sunday
Join

Look at that. It’s the first night that I’m aware of it being below zero and now all I can think of is how I can’t wait for spring to come! This is a photo of Toronto’s Beach area just off of Lakeshore boulevard in early spring. Pretty isn’t it?

I think part of the reason is that I was going over a number of my older photos yesterday and I was looking at so many pictures of spring flowers that, that started my pining for Spring.

Well … I may have something to help me get through winter, but the catch is that it will probably make me go out and face the cold more often. Ironic eh? I’ll tell you about it in another post later today.

Have a great Sunday!

Winter is coming!

November 18, 2007 by Tricia

I can’t believe how cold it is here! It’s -3 Celsius (26 F) right now!

We still haven’t done much to prepare our garden for winter. Who am I kidding we’ve barely cleaned up the fallen leaves! I guess we’ll have to go out into the yard later today and freeze our butts off and get all that work done or at least start it. It normally takes about two full days to do all the garden winterizing work. I’m not looking forward to it.

I know it’s not that cold, but I have fevers all the time, and when your running a fever even a reasonable temperature can make you feel cold.

The next thing I want to do is maybe get one of those car covers. A really heavy duty one. We live close to work and mainly only drive our car about once a week to go to the grocery store or to visit friends and our car is starting to get old. I’m afraid that all that exposure to snow and ice is going to make it start to rust out. I don’t know if a car cover would protect it that much but at least our doors won’t freeze shut like they normally do!

Are you starting to feel winters arrival too?

Looking for a job? Try Monster

November 7, 2007 by Tricia

Monster.ca has been around for quite a while. I remember searching for nursing jobs on the site as long ago as perhaps 10 years ago! I’m glad to see that it’s still around and has so many options for employers and job seekers.

I’m discussing Monster.ca here, but as you probably already know Monster is a worldwide company with sites for specific countries such as the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, and many European countries. I don’t think there’s a part of the globe that they don’t cover!

If you are visiting the site to look over their job listing you’ll find a wide variety of positions from professional listings in the medical field to service or trade industries. You can search by the type of employment you are interested in or you can search for jobs by location or if you are an employer you can easily create a post job in the system.

Just like when I used Monster in the past, a job seeker can register and create a profile which can include the posting of your resume. I really like that feature because once your resume is up on the site you can update it over time. Employers can look over the listings as well to find potential employees that might suit whatever position for which they are hiring so posting your resume and creating a profile on the site has many benefits.

You’ll also find a Career centre on the site where you can read articles containing career advice, and the resume centre where you can build an online resume. You’ll also discover the Interview Centre, Self Assessment centre, Employment Law Centre and career news within the Career Centre subheading at the top of every page on Monster.ca.

As you can see there are quite a number of resources at Monster for anyone who is searching for a job. I’m certain that if you were to visit the various centres you’d gain some valuable knowledge that would help you get through interviews successfully or that would teach you to create a resume that would catch an employers eye.

Visit the Monster site to start setting up your profile and resume today.
