I got a phone call from the manager at Manulife today... it seems that they decided to fill the position internally. Which I probably could have guessed from the fact that one of the qualifications listed was "familiarity with Apollo," which is their in-house U.S. Group Pensions system.

However, she gave me the phone number of someone in HR to harass, so that's something.

In the latest news about the Canadian Tire guy, [livejournal.com profile] eastman23 posted this link today: Secrets From The Diary Of Canadian Tire Guy. It's only a matter of time before someone warps this into "The Very Secret Diaries Of The Canadian Tire Guy." (The annoying neighbour who wants the solar powered generator? Tim Taylor will kill him if he tries anything.)

[livejournal.com profile] mzrowan posted this in her LJ earlier today, and I thought I'd share: you know all those coloured bracelets that people are wearing? The ones that Lance Armstrong started up, and which have now propagated in every colour of the rainbow (sometimes simultaneously, as we're selling rainbow-coloured ones to raise money for Gaylaxicon)? Well, they have a couple of variants over at Archie McPhee Toys:

Bleak Wristbands

Seven Deadly Sins Wristbands

(I'd have posted pictures, but Photobucket is down for service for the next few hours.)

I like the way these folks think.

Oh, that cleaning and laundry I was going to do when I got home from First Thursday? HAH! I guess I'll have to do it tomorrow... *sigh* At least I took the newspapers out to the recycling dumpster.

I think there's something in the employment laws that says they have to advertise openings even if they're not intending on filling them externally.

I figure I'll keep an eye on their website and whenever something comes up that interests me, I'll call them then. They're already aware of my interest in returning, and having spoken to the manager recently, hopefully if something comes up soon she'll think of me. Plus they have my resume on file, and obviously since she had been made aware of my interest, HR isn't discounting me just because my leaving a year ago was on less than good terms.
