Good Karma Day

Rare of me to post two things consecutive days, but its been a good day today.

Went up to 'Whyte n  Nine' (82 ave. and 109 St.) for a groceries n beer run about 11 a.m.  Got some good deals on stir -fry cut beef, some peppers, sprouts and real Chinese noodles to have with.  Was greeted by a nice lady (she would laugh at that) I used to work with at StatsCan, Lorette, while I was ringing up my purchases on the talking computer tills. Normally I hate them, but I decided to pull a fast one today, and rang out my green and red peppers both as green peppers.  Ssh, dont tell anyone. Anyway, hadnt seen Lorette since I quit the warm embrace of the Gov in '08. She is super cool, Metis grew up in Alberta, but her native half is Red River Cree (see prev. post) and she makes her main money working with elderly (some with Alzheimer's) folks, taking them shopping, helping them function in the world, finding them housecleaners for cheap, good karma stuff. She was with one of her clients today, a 105-yr-old lady who wanted to buy some grapes at Safeway, and insisted on choosing them herself.
Anyway, Lorette still works at StatsCan, for fill-in money, to help keep her ma alive in a home, and clued me on the new location of their office, which is right by an LRT station downtown, and they are hiring.
My gal Barb is working for stupidly low money in retail right now (Carlton Cards n gifts: fucking incompetent  'make the poor pay' employer, tell em to raise their fucking wages if you shop there) and I noticed Stats is hiring online, so if she does get on there, she already has a work-buddy in Lorette.
Then across to the Liquor Depot, saw a cool beer there, Bad Hare is the brand, they have a Chocolate Stout, which I didnt buy today but will in future. The sad thing about the beer run was the teller. A very pretty , but too thin girl who was obviously twitching for her meth hit.
Hope she gets her shit together someday. Liquor Depot is open earlier than BrownGuys, which  closer to 112 St.  and my usual vendor.
Feels like a good day overall, and I think the stars are pointing to my gal (with an anthro-sociology degree and super communication skills) getting a better job with the Gov, actually doing sociological research.
Fuckin 'A'. Axel.
