tvordljG. had his second xray on Tuesday and was told then "You aren't growing anything", that is, the TB tests came back clear as we expected. But he was still concerned anyway, just in case. You never can be 100% sure until they tell you, even if the doctors were pretty sure there was nothing to be concerned about in the first place. All that gets sent to the Canadian government so that when my sponsorship is approved, (not heard anything on that yet), when the package then goes to London to the High Commission to process his application, there won't be any delays. The wait time at the moment is pretty long as it is. I'm seriously thinking of emailing my new MP when my sponsorship is approved to complain about the unacceptable wait times. One of the things the Liberal party promised was to lower the immigration wait times. I know that won't happen overnight, but at least I can complain about it and see what his reaction is. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets a bit of grease, you never know!
I was supposed to be on training next week, two two-day courses that i could take from home. First, the second of the two was rescheduled because it was full. I hadn't heard about the first one and time's getting short. There was a hold up with the purchase order and all kinds of stupid red tape. Anyway, a rep called me from the training company. The other course is full, too. Well if there hadn't been so much last minute faffing about, it might not have been. Never mind. I was rescheduled for that too. Part one in the middle of NOvember, part two in the middle of December. There's another course I want as well but that is in a second batch of training to be attached to a second purchase order apparently. It's not as crucial as the other training, more of a "nice to have" advanced course in something I already do.
The plus side is I can reschedule myself for the flu shot clinic at work that I would have missed and also get my yearly bus pass renewed and sorted out. Silver linings, you guys.
Got a couple of things to pick up at the post office this weekend, when i know i have a few things on order, I wait until the end of the week to see how many postal delivery cards I get so i only have to go once. Got two already this week. Canada Post does have a redirect scheme that I can use as well, to send it to the post office here at work. I have done that but as it's a PO number, not all retailers like to do that. I've ordered some clothes from an online sale, buy one get one free. Got six items for the price of three, a very good value. Two bras, two long sleeve tshirts which I needed (don't have a lot of those for winter), a pair of pants and a sweatshirt.
It's getting more difficult to get sweatshirts it seems. Everything is "active wear" made for yoga and gym, all stretchy lycra stuff. There is some fleece out there but it's not the kind i really like, the plain cotton sweatshirt material that isn't really fleecy inside and that stretches and gets all comfy over time.
