(2) Taking kids to diving class

(*) snow -- did it. Our predicted "dusting" turned out to be 6". I shoveled the street-end of our driveway to accommodate the Ladmobile, the the spinster's, the divorcee's, and the widow's sidewalks and all the sidewalks in between. I then exceeded the manufacturer's recommended dosage for ibuprofen.

(*) Soccer -- Indoor soccer for kid #2 at the local university

(*) Diving -- Kid #1 has diving class at the high school aquatic center.

The hijinks never end...Next!

This is such a fun thread. I love learning these little tid-bits of information about you all. Why don't I come in here more often?

Anyway, my guess -

(1) Eating bison tartare

(Do people eat bison? I thought they were endangered?)

(4) Fixing a broken headlight in bone-chilling cold

(6) Looking for income tax records

and I'll go with the last one:

(3) Watching kids at a ballet recital

Bison tartare - I ate, I survived. Income tax records I found -- It's always a search through a pile of surplus laptops to see where we installed turbo tax the previous year. The ballet recitals started at 1:00 and ended at 5:00.

I have not yest fixed the headlight. Dedman has the next question.

I recently got my placement for my final power engineering work term. Where am I going?

1. Petro-Canada
2. Suncor Firebag
3. Suncor base plant
4. Syncrude
5. CNRL
6. Long Lake
7. Conaco Phillips
8. Japan Canada
9. Shell Albian Sands

6. Long Lake

Long Lake was where I wanted to go, but they only took 4 students. All the slots were gone by yhe time I made a selection, so thats not it.

I've never heard of any of them so...

3. Suncor base plant

And, Blacula has it.
All the places I wanted to go were gone by the time I got to pick (we were chosen randomly), so I took the company that paid the highest wage. Even if turns out to be a horrible worksite it's only for 6 months.

Just so you know they are all big companies involved in bitumen extraction here in the Alberta oil sands.

Lucky guess. Enjoy the big money!

Hmmmm... what's some interesting info re: me I can ask about?

OK, this'll do - I have just been accepted to University to study what?

1. Photography
2. Town Planning
3. Primary School Teaching
4. Law
5. Medicine
6. Journalism
7. Filmmaking
8. Asian Business Studies
9. Acting
10. Comic Book Writing

Hmmm...Some of those sound like really fun and interesting programs.
I'll go with one I have some knowledge about, so...

7. Filmmaking

2. Town Planning?

Filmmaking - I actually studied this a few years ago (at the New York Film Academy - DO NOT go there!). Loved the creativity and camaraderie of the industry. Wasn't so keen on the lack of money or opportunities without connections.

Town Planning - This is a field I've become very interested in, mainly because the city I live in at the moment (Perth) seems to have put zero forethought into how to develop this city for the future, but no, I won't be pursuing a degree in it.

Asian Business Studies

Asian Business Studies - I was trying to think of subjects to pad out my list with and remembered that this was one of the courses on my list of University preferences when I did my first degree many years ago. I have no idea why as I don't have much interest in Asia (other than as a short holiday destination) or Business Studies so it was lucky I got into one of my first choices.

This is probably very rewarding at times so...

3. Primary School Teaching

6. Journalism

Primary School Teaching - I have a lot of friends in this field but I am not much of a children-person and can think of few things worse than being surrounded by them all day. So no, I won't be studying Primary School Teaching.

Journalism - When I did my first degree (Communications) I chose a lot of (print) Journalism units and greatly enjoyed them - especially the editing/newsroom side. I could've seen myself becoming a newspaper journalist/editor but life took me down a different path after graduation.

So here's what's left -

1. Photography
<strike>2. Town Planning</strike>
<strike>3. Primary School Teaching</strike>
4. Law
5. Medicine
<strike>6. Journalism</strike>
<strike>7. Filmmaking</strike>
<strike>8. Asian Business Studies</strike>
9. Acting
10. Comic Book Writing

Just because I would love to believe there's a university degree in it, I'll go with

10. Comic Book Writing

Maybe you've been inspired by Quis...

4. Law

5. Medicine

Drugs sounds good!

Comic Book Writing - Only in my dreams.

Medicine - I don't think I could handle the blood.

Law - is CORRECT! Some background info re: me - I come from a family of lawyers. Dad. Brother. Sister. Uncle. Two Cousins. Needless to say, when I was at school I wanted to be *anything* but a lawyer when I grew up. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future. I got a job working for an anti-corruption organisation and through them got to work with different Attorney General's offices and other legal organisations around the world. And to my great surprise - I found I really liked it! So after my flirtation with filmmaking didn't work out I decided I'd focus on a field that I was interested in *and* already had a lot of connections within. So Law it is.

Your question dedman.
