Job Report

So, first few days of the new job have been ok. It's to do with insurance plans and retirement benefits, so I'm sworn not to talk about it for reasons of confidentiality; also, probably not that interesting.

I can tell you, however, that there is a foosball table in the lunchroom.

The foosball table sounds like an excellent sign! Good luck with the new gig, and yay! insurance and retirement.

I was hoping with one eye on the news that your commute didn't involve Union station or any of the other stops they had to shut down 'cos of flooding!
It looked like complete chaos.

Luckily I didn't have to go by Union, or "Lake Union" as one of my new co-workers dubbed it after seeing some pictures.

Here's a round up (http://www.blogto.com/city/2012/06/a_roundup_of_union_station_flood_funnies/) of the humourous photoshop jobs that began circulating within about an hour of the flood.

On a less-funny note, there apparently was a shooting at the Eaton's Centre food court this afternoon; the early report on the Star's website says one dead and seven injured, although it sounds like most of the injured are people who got bruised while fleeing the scene. There was also a pregnant woman who went into labour from the shock, but I don't know how she's doing.

The twenty-first-century aspect is all the on-the-spot tweets posted under the news story -- you can see the comments one witness, who was later interviewed by the Star in more detail, posted at the time of the shooting while he was hiding under a table with his kid.
