THINGS TO DO TODAY
Call and get the application started for my MSI card. That's the national health insurance. Done.
Got to HRDC and get an SIN number, basically like a social security card. Done.
Buy socks. I only brought one pair, white athletic socks, and my feet are frickin' cold. Went to Payless and found two pair, $1 each. While there I bought a watch. I've been wearing the other one but don't trust the time on it, so ... this'll do for now.
Go to the hospital and meet with HR. Done. I found out that I've gotten a slight raise since I got my offer letter - yay! - and signed all the paperwork. My first payday is next Thursday and it covers four days of this week. But I won't get paid if I don't open a bank account so they can direct deposit my money. So guess what's next on my list?
Open a bank account. Done. It was so easy, I didn't even have to give them money. My first deposit can be my paycheck. So now I have a debit card and four temporary cheques. Cool.
Meet some people at work. That was good. I went for coffee with a couple of folks and we talked about neighborhoods, schools, offices, jewelry, etc.
I have widened my circle a bit. I skimmed past the rotary once but didn't get in to go back around and out the other side. I had decided that if I can drive in Chicago and Dallas I could tackle this dinky circle, but the line to get in (it was rush hour) was too long. So I drove the long way and have put together a little bit more of the Halifa map in my head.
I was home by 5:15 which is great. I need to organize my papers tonight 
and take a bath. Hm.

So you have a new identity...
Could you actually walk to & from work or is it too far? It would certainly get your metabolism/internal heating system going.
Sounds like a good start---getting organized. And bathing too; I hear that's a good thing. Do you have kitchen privileges where you're staying, or get meals with your bed?
You're doing great so far---a raise in pay and no work. Who wouldn't want that job?
Ok, that sounds pretty cool.
(might want to check your spelling)
I LOVE YOU!!!
Hey - I am busy! If i misspell a little here and there, can we ignore it? Othersie, I may have to start spell-checking your blog missy. :)
Lit - yes, I ahve kitchen priveleges, and laundry priveleges, my own bathroom, and obviously computer privelges. I like my "landlord" a lot.
That's actually really tight, I was kind of imagining a Harry-Potter-cupboard thing going on...
*teehee*
