I START WORK TOMORROW.
SOMEONE, please, ANYONE, save me from this terrible, terrible fate.
*WEEP*
Oh well. Tomorrow Ginny comes.
That makes me happy. =)

Breakfast
I had the flu recently and I have learned something:
That your co-workers do not expect you to bust your butt back to work when, really, you're just a potential threat. I could've easily taken off two days when I only took off one. If ONLY I had known that. *Weep*
Now, since I have been sick, I have given up eating cereal for breakfast, and I have rediscovered my long lost breakfast love, instant porridge. Low in fat, filling, and hot, it's the breakfast that feels good all the way through the cold morning. And you microwave it. Easy! =D

Typical
Canada
Canada is one of the largest consumers of trans fats in the world.[46] In November 2004, an opposition day motion seeking a ban similar to Denmark's was introduced by Jack Layton of the New Democratic Party, and passed through the House of Commons by an overwhelming 193-73 vote.[47]
Since December 2005, Health Canada has required that food labels list the amount of trans fat in the nutrition facts section for most foods. Products with less than 0.2 grams of trans fat per serving may be labeled as free of trans fats.[48] These labelling allowances are not widely known, but as an awareness of them develops, controversy over truthful labelling is growing. In Canada, trans fat quantities on labels include naturally occurring trans fats from animal sources.[49]
In June 2006, a task force co-chaired by Health Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada recommended a limit of 5% trans fat (of total fat) in all products sold to consumers in Canada (2% for tub margarines and spreads).[19] The amount was selected such that "most of the industrially produced trans fats would be removed from the Canadian diet, and about half of the remaining trans fat intake would be of naturally occurring trans fats". This recommendation has been endorsed by the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association[50] and Food & Consumer Products of Canada has congratulated the task force on the report,[51] although it did not recommend delaying implementation to 2010 as they had previously advocated.[52]
Ten months after submitting their report the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and Toronto Public Health issued a plea to the government of Canada: "to act immediately on the task force's recommendations and to eliminate harmful trans fat from Canada's food supply."[53]
On June 20, 2007, the federal government announced its intention to regulate trans fats to the June 2006 standard unless the food industry voluntarily complied with these limits within two years.[54][55]

Friday
I got another paycheck today.
I had no idea how good it feels to get a paycheck on a regular basis that is large, and that has less than 50% taxes taken off. (Yay Belgium.)
I also realized that I love working at a place where I make enough money that I can feed myself later in the year. That makes me happy just knowing that.
