Quirks and Questions


Is poutine a real food?

A co-worker just cam e back from getting her lunch.  She said that she hasn't been feeling well this week and missed real food.  She got poutine for lunch.

In case you are interested in the history of poutine or just want to waste a little work time:  http://labanquise.com/en/poutine-history.php

We have a new sign in the washroom on how to wash your hands.  I don't know if I am doing it correctly because it is all in French.  I'll have to bring a bilingual co-worker in with me so she can explain it to me.

Thankful that the sun is shining today

Not for the Faint of Heart or How Criminal Minds Relates to My Life
