I worked for nothing today. I accepted a job over the phone without asking what the pay was. I figured that it would get me "in" with this company. I have done some work for this company before, but not of this sort. Anyhow, it turns out that the pay is only $8.oo American. I had to download and print paperwork, drive over the river to the States, find this place (I got lost of course), spent an hour there, drove home, filled in my report, faxed to a long distance number and mailed my original copies by snail mail. Did I mention the $3.50 toll that I had to pay? They had better offer me some Good, Well paying jobs now! Oh well, at least I got the experience that I was looking for.

What's up with Canada's border security? On the way back in to the country, the border guard asked me two questions: "How many people?" to which I answered, "Just me" and "Anything to declare?" to which I answered, "Nothun". He then nodded at me to go ahead. Not that I wanted to be held up with a bunch of questions or an invasive search of the vehicle, but that just seemed too easy! The U.S. is fingerprinting and photographing people and our guy is sitting on his ass with his feet up. Canadians in general are so laid back and easy going. It's just a matter of time before someone takes advantage of that and rocks our world - just my opinion.
