So, I had the interview this morning. It lasted about 45 minutes. They didn't really care all too much that I was Canadian which was a disappointment. They are interviewing a total of 5 candidates today, and hope to make a decision by the end of the week. I am really hopeful that I get it. It seriously would be such a joy to work for the Canadian Consulate :) I would skip to work every day (ok maybe not EVERY day but come on, with how much I love my home and native land it would make me feel LESS home sick). And YES, i still get homesick for Canada sometimes.
So anyways, I hope to hear later this week.
On other news, The House of Commons voted in Canada to recognize Quebec as a "nation within Canada" and voted overwhelmingly so. Quebec has always wanted to be it's own country and feels that it needs to be on it's own to retain it's culture (which is think is such a crock, since Canada is SUCH a melting pot as it is and is so accepting of other cultures). But anyways, it was a historic decision. I'm curious to see where this goes from here!
We are expecting a cold arctic front to come through Denver today and last a few days. It dumped a ton of snow in the Seattle area and Utah, and while the mountains near Denver will probably get a lot of snow, we probably won't see anything but cold cold temperatures. I wish it would snow already!
Have a great day everyone. Oh, and thanks SO much for all of your positive thoughts with my interview...it's nice to know I'm loved out in blog land :)

Good luck with the interview/job.
Technically, the House of commons voted to recognize the "Québecois" as "a nation within a united Canada". This is actually quite different from recognizing Quebec as a nation but, truth be told, the whole thing has been so confusing that even the government doesn't know what they mean. Who is a "Québecois"? Is that different from a "Quebecker"? Is it anyone who lives in Quebec? Only those who are born there? What about immigrants or those who were born there and moved away? What about folks, like me, who are anglophone and moved here from another part of Canada? Am I a Québecoise? No one knows the answers. :)
I don't remember how I stumbled across your blog but I like it and read it often.
best regards,
