I was informed by the manager of IT that the job opening I had applied for has been cancelled. He sounded quite embarrassed about it. I'm not really all that surprised. Perhaps the president looked at January's financial reports and declared wafy. My résumé is now on file and my intentions have been declared so I'll have to be happy with that for the time being. Apparently I came "highly recommended" to the IT manager.

In other news:

• Happy Birthday to Me!
• Happy Birthday as well to Kim, my wife's sister, and Susanne, a good friend.
• A niece in Victoria has been selected to be a page in the BC Legislature — her first job. Congratulations to Nicolia!
