Going to meet my new office today!
I have got to give customer service at Refworks a big thank you for helping me solve my Google Scholar problems!
So Refworks, are you going to cooperate today or do I need to take a little trip to go buy Endnote?
Got mail from York today addressing me as Professor. Apparently I got my PhD without noticing. Thanks York!
Hours of trying to export from PEDro to Refworks including help from my tech expert husband and the solution was be simple and obtuse.
Manually entering citations is time consuming and annoying. Glad to be done with this database.
Between construction noise, jet lag and a husband trying to be helpful I am cranky.
Will someone make these for me? http://bit.ly/l8n4Z
Home! Jet lagged!
Flight is delayed indefinitely. sigh.
YVR has free wireless! Why is no one online to talk with me? There is a thunderstorm that is stopping flights. 2 hrs to clear up for mine.
Dinner then airport. It just started pouring. Perfect timing! Did not rain the rest of the time I was here.
Walked into Langley. It is a lot further than I thought it was. Successful Whitespot mission!
Could someone please bring my breakfast? Stupid suburbia. Everything is so far away without a car.
Apparently female platelet donors can no longer donate if they were ever pregnant. CBS should start reminding me- they must be short donors
Sitting on the grass behind Science World enjoying the sunshine and reading my RSS feeds. Thank you open dlink wifi connection.
Looking outside (grey). Looking at weather forecast. Trying to decide what to wear. Confused. Cannot remember if 24 feels hot here or not.
Add too much Red wine.
Am I a nerd because this made me smile? RT @shamsha Metadata!!!
Full day planned in Suburbia. Plan to act like a middleclass housewife: shopping and a pedicure because gosh darn, I deserve it (ha!).
Just got back from a wonderful evening with an old friend in Whiterock.
Took the “Are You A “Twilight” or “Harry Potter” Fan?” quiz & got: Stuck in the middle!! What’ll you get? ➤ http://bit.ly/JkimS
Going to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant with my brother Friday at his suggestion. Pretty sure this is a sign of the apocalypse.
Today and tomorrow are working days. Need to check a few more databases off this list. Hope I remember what I was doing.
Anyone want to eat here with me? Looks so good: http://bit.ly/jwNZR
Pizza is so much better here. Nom nom nom. I admit, BC is trying its darndest to lure be back with good food, weather and people.
Back to civilization and internet! Lac La Hache was lovely, though. Forgot to take pictures so you will just have to use your imagination.
Oh, so I am still jet legged. Hello 7am. We meet again.
Sun burnt and very very sore. It was a great day!
6:30am and willing myself back to sleep is unsuccessful. Will try PST again tomorrow. Back to borrowing neighbours internet Thx linksys.
I forgot how much I despised this chair.
In Cloverdale and feeilng punchy from lack of sleep. Need to tackle the Pubmed portion of this lit review before I can have a nap.
Off to the airport!
What is the appropriate number of pairs of shoes to bring on a 10 day trip to BC?
Got an email saying my Utoronto mail is full and I wont get new mail. Tried to delete & purge but I cant send myself an email. Suggestions?
I have a busy day: Finish the Captivate tutorials for BIO241, work on the Lit Review for ACE and pack for BC. So of course I feel like junk.
1 new pair of fluevogs + fun evening out with the girls + massage w/ husband + 8 new books from BMV = awesome weekend. And it is only Sat.!
Thank you @eprigoda for the lovely last day at Gerstein lunch! I will miss having the best boss ever!

Found a notebook I lost 2 months ago sitting on a windowsill in the Nursing building. Excellent.
