This week started out with a molar being pulled out of my poor little mouth on Tuesday morning. Over the past year the dentist had done a $1200 root canal but in the end it did not work and the tooth had to be pulled. The worst thing is that it never even hurt until I went to the dentist to have check up and the dentist drilled into it! Anyway, it is still very sore but tomorrow will be the one week mark and I am hoping it starts getting better. I spent the rest of last Tuesday in bed recovering.
On Wednesday I had a job interview (yes with a sore tooth) and it went well. In fact I am going for my second interview tomorrow. I also spent some time with a co-worker designing the electronic invitation for our Final Many Faces of Violence Event. It should be a great event and I invite anyone who is interested to attend. The invitation can be viewed here. The project has been very successful and we have had over 5000 hits on our website!
On Thursday, I had a Sex Trade Action Committee meeting. We discussed many things but the one thing I am concentrating on is a design and public awareness approach for street level sharps containers for needle disposal. I think it is very important that these be placed around the City as it helps keep sharp needles off the streets and playgrounds for that matter. Many other urban cities already have a similar program. In fact, in Calgary they use recycled Canada Post mail bins after adding some more reinforcement. Anyway, I will keep you posted on any progress.
And then it started to rain and rain and rain.............Hopefully no one reading this had any troubles with the enormous amount of water. The only trouble I had was getting to Dairy Queen on Sunday night :-)
Actually, I took part in the Greater Saint John Community Foundation's Annual Harbour Passage Gardening Party on Saturday morning. It began just as the rain did. However, roughly 150 dedicated community members made it out and had a great time. I must say the weeds were pretty out of control in some gardens but not as bad as last year. I got plenty wet but had a good time and it was great to see all the youth out for the event. Kudos to them for their dedication and hard work! The remainder of the weekend I relaxed and nursed my tooth.
Well I better go and do some preparation for the 2 job interviews I have this week. Keep your fingers crossed! I will be late writing in the blog next week as I will be in Moncton for work conference on Monday and Tuesday, but I may be able to get on the net at the hotel. It should be a good conference on Primary Health Care in the Maritimes. I will let you know all about it in my next post.
Have a great week!
