Heading to Montreal for CEEA today. Can't believe I'll be the one chuckling at the locals about their mayoral follies,

Very true. I should have expected it really, thinking back to how the Battle of Blackwater Bay was in e9 of season two and Ned lost his head in e9 of season one. A pattern of making e9 the big event episode.

Tell me about it. It's like living in a Carl Hiaasen novel.

I heard about this on On the Media, I think. I wonder how people like him and Marion Barry get elected.
- Christina Pikas
Like Barry, Ford's popularity with his core supporters is unwavering. The difference between the two, from what I've read, is that Ford's behaviour, even if there is no illegal activity, is negatively affecting the city (especially the fact that he skips city meetings to coach high school football). Barry limited his behaviour to after hours, at least.

Ford was mocked on WWE RAW last night...
- John Dupuis
I don't want to know how you know that

I saw it on twitter ;-)

The one thing nobody told me about taking this Acting AUL job is the number of headhunter emails I would start getting. Sheesh.
I used to get the occasional one when I was just department head, but it's been way more this year and for much higher level jobs.
- John Dupuis
Interesting. I was talking with a colleague today about the library job market.
- RepoRat
The jobs are mostly Canadian AUL/UL postings, except, surprisingly, one for the UL job at a fairly large US school. Which I was totally not expecting at all. It's amazing the headhunter lists I've ended up on, so I imagine I'll be getting the emails for a while at least.
- John Dupuis
Dunno why you're so surprised. You could totally do it, man.
- RepoRat
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but if there's anything this year has convinced me of it's that that particular grind ain't for me.
