Extraordinary circumstances
Today, I went to work. If you check the calendar, it shows that we have landed on a Saturday, yet I was at the board office to operate a videoconference. Highly unusual; I haven’t had to break the Monday to Friday routine in a very long time. All to assure that one person in Chibougamau could listen in to presentation of the QEP / Reform / rewrite of the curriculum by four of the consultants. Note that this was really a “listen in”; the communication was not in both directions. Oh well, so the name videoconference is mis-applied. Extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures.
The Olympics are underway, and the “medal count” has begun. Even if this is a search for personal excellence by athletes, far more press will be given to which country had it’s anthem broadcast more often. Surrogate war.
Another Carnaval, and another year where my contact will be that I saw the crowd barriers being unloaded and installed by city workers.
