For the first time I could park on the side and get a few pictures of this new one new bridge is now coming into shape. While they are working on it – there is no manner that you can get up to see how this thing is taking shape. One this long weekend – they did take a day off, as it’s the first that I have seen. There after I headed back over to my folks as again they have troubles with this new digital television of which they subscribe. For the life of me could not figure it out, as everything on their screen was purple and orange. So I called the technicians here and they say they work 24/7 so hopefully this does apply as it was going well for them and it all works out.
I went to church I don’t go that often yet by the time I arrived there the mass was over with. So you can’t win them all but I did talk with a few there and then headed off for the university. Yet I met this most interesting priest whom allowed me to take a few pictures as well of him and his parrot. Or I think it was a parrot. Then the person that was waiting outside the doors of the church. I thought he was in some philosophical moment – but no he was panhandling and I did tell him to take a hike. There are many places that one can get money and this one was looking for money for no good reasons. So he did take off.
I headed to the university. As there is always something interesting. Or someone, which is interesting. I found myself caught up in a conversation with the head of the computer department and had a interview which was going to take place yet in the meanwhile we spoke on how computers have came and then came this gal or a reporter I should say. If there is one word of which I would say with regards to her manners – no I’m not gonna do it but you can’t please all – this professors wife pulled me aside and said, “isn’t she an arrogant little b_____h.” She was but that’s her problem.
Upon leaving I just had to chuckle to myself. There after I had went to what is called the CBC and well for a Sunday it was very pleasant. I find that those of which one meets more often than not has rendered an impression. Mind you this young reporter well she was a little much – mind you when she finished off this interview. She strutted her stuff and one just had to laugh – not just myself but a few others which were around as she might have looked good – but the manner in which she carried here self was – well lets not go there.
I didn’t mention the lady who couldn’t start her automatic starter which I gave a hand nor some tremendous students which I had just arrived from Bangladesh to finish off their master degree, nor the entirely all but it was a very decent day, coupled with an evening run.
Fascinating tidbit on arrogance. Has the university classes begun? Ours resumes this tues. I'm curious as to what major the bangladesh students were studying? What bridge is that? The parrot sounds fun. Are you able to post some? I'd love to see the inside of that cathedral. I'd imagine it to be beautiful. Its great you had a run. It sounds like a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteAfter this long weekend everything commences Cinn - the same as there. I have been running now for six months I started with walking but for a Sunday this was a good one - mind you it's a tad cool...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHave and now just logged on here :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes my kids go back to school as well. Its supposed to cool down to 60s tomorrow. I was completely drenched by the humidity after this mornings run. It was so nice to get two days in the lake before the cool down. I've so enjoyed the summer an warm weather. Its great you had an enjoyable run. Yay :)
ReplyDeleteYep and here it's 63F as we speak.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was up at university this week, they talked about how we shouldn't work to take full advantage of all the opportunities'''which in this instance was research lol. I kept thinking it didn't correlate as if you offer an online program the whole purpose is to be able to have it not interfere with work. Some old mindsets don't change lol.
ReplyDeleteWas away....reading. Some don't yet more than often I find that there so much more out there and although internet security is a situation there is more which one can do on here - online that is blogging and then outside of blogging...
ReplyDeleteThey did recommend staying up to date with technology. Lol. I hope your interview was good. Video uploading is encouraged. Its interesting as there's no more time to print materials only save them to scan disk.
ReplyDeleteyes always big issues with hackers an internet security. Its a constant fight to stay one step ahead.
ReplyDeleteYeppers Cinn.
ReplyDeleteI'm still evaluating the difference. I luv the way that online learning as developed yet the university still makes it difficult to work an study for degrees. I think online acceptance has come a long way but change is slow due to tradition.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm trying the ebooks now. I guess I wanted some of that old tradition in my own way. I think its a rapid progression an the more we move forward with technology the better. I'm a big fan of simulation labs. Well best of luck to you. Thank you for the interesting blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're very much the gentleman there Jack. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWith a keyboard which needs to be cleaned!

ReplyDeleteGlad you got out and about there Jack. Good for you getting a run in there too. Something that I can't do cause of poor feet. But I do love to walk :)
ReplyDeleteOh I pay the price Tee I do as most often I run within the morning rather than the eve as I get those aches as well...
ReplyDeleteWalking they say is as good as jogging. Now did you get to the NYstate fair? I have the loot if you have the pics. :)
