I don't expect anyone to read this, but I want to show you my job search. By writing things down as I'm doing it, I'm learning it.

May 11, 2020 Kijiji: I go on here like once a week since the quarantine. There seems to be an increase in hiring. They are hiring in:

May 15, 2020 Friends: I called my friend Dan L. about how he could work as delivery driver, but he says he's not interested.
I told him about being a ESL teacher overseas or online during this quarantine, and he says he's not interested in that either.
He had a cousin who taught ESL in China, and it wasn't a lot of money.
He knows a guy who taught ESL in Japan for 5 yrs, and then came back to Edmonton to be a ETS bus driver. There's nothing wrong with that, but it seems like a totally different field.
My week:
Mon. May 11, 2020 Glutino milk chocolate wafers: I bought a box of these (130 grams for 99 cents) because:
1. I like milk chocolate wafers
2. I wanted to try something new (this is gluten free and I never tried this before)
3. This was on sale like 99 cents
This was average.
Army and Navy closing down:
The family owned Army & Navy department store chain is closing after more than a century in business.
On Saturday, company CEO and president, Jacqui Cohen, announced the closure of Army and Navy's five Western Canada locations along with mass layoffs.
"After an incredible 101 years, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close Army & Navy," said Cohen.
The company has stores in Vancouver, New Westminster, Langley, Calgary and Edmonton.
Cohen, the granddaughter of founder Sam Cohen, said the company had closed its stores and temporarily laid off staff in March due to COVID-19, but they planned to reopen before the challenges of the pandemic proved insurmountable.
"Army & Navy stood alongside Canadians for the country's highs and lows, but the economic impact of this global pandemic is beyond anything we have experienced," said Cohen.
"I am full of gratitude for our staff and their years of service, our suppliers with whom we forged decades-long relationships, and of course our loyal customers who were at the heart of our business."
The Rookie: I watched the season 2 finale. It was really good. There is good writing and action on this show.
May 12, 2020 Cardinal: I watched the season 4 finale/ series finale. This Canadian show has 6 episodes each season. Good writing and acting. This show never "jumped the shark."

May 13, 2020 "East York man spending pandemic baking the city a better place with his free pies":
May 13, 2020 "East York man spending pandemic baking the city a better place with his free pies":
For Bradley Harder, life is what you bake of it.
The East York resident says there's nothing quite like the comfort you get from a warm pie, save for a "warm hug from your mom."
That's why he started the Pandemic Pie Project, aimed at bringing joy to his Toronto community in the form of free pies. He's baked more than 16 dozen so far, and he doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.
"It makes me feel like the filling of a pie: ooey, gooey and sweet," Harder says.
"It's just pie, pie, pie, pie, pie. That's my world."
The whole enterprise began in early April.
As someone who's almost 60 living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among other health issues, Harder says he began to worry about the growing threat of the pandemic.
He decided he wouldn't leave his house, but to pass the time, he started creating YouTube videos called Cooking without pants — tutorials for homemade meals like lasagna.
In one of the videos, Harder mentioned running out of some ingredients. So, some friends watching decided they'd order groceries to his door.
"I was so moved by this that I thought, 'Well, what can I do? I mean I'm stuck at home, I'm vulnerable ... I've got COPD, I don't want to catch the disease,'" he said.
"So I thought about it and said, 'Well, I can bake.'"
He started by baking pies for the people who'd sent him food, then for some friends, then for some neighbours, and 200 pies later, Harder's still getting requests.
"I'm relegated to my kitchen all day long, though. I wake up at 7 a.m. in the morning, turn my oven on, go to bed at 9 p.m. at night when I turn my oven off. I can't wait to get my hydro bill."
Tracy giving away her magazine clippings: This reminds me of when I was teen and I cut up all my magazines and I gave these magazine clippings to my friends. It was when we were teens and we were obsessed with celebrities.
I'm sure there are adults who are obsessed with celebrities.

May 14, 2020 Saying: This was way back in 2006 when I was 20 yrs old. I was waiting for the bus in the winter time at a bus station. I was talking this white woman in her early 20s and how the bus was taking a long time to arrive.
Woman: There is no point in getting angry at things you can't control.
She's right. I find this whole COVID-19 quarantine a patience test.

Uber driver escapes abduction:
A Nashville-based Uber driver survived a terrifying attempted kidnapping last week, according to a report from News Channel 5. The passenger in the back seat allegedly pulled a knife on the driver, 26-year-old Carolina Vargas, but she escaped by jumping out of the vehicle onto the highway.
Vargas first encountered Christopher Miller on Tuesday, May 5, when he ordered a ride and claimed his semi-truck had broken down. Vargas dropped Miller off at a hotel in Cleveland, Tennessee, outside Chattanooga near the Georgia border. As drivers often do to secure extra work, she made plans to pick him up and drive him to his truck in Nashville on Friday. She did just that, but this time, it was without the use of the Uber app.
Once the two were on the road, Miller allegedly pulled a knife, hit Vargas in the ribs, and forced her to drive into Georgia. Fearing for her life, Vargas jumped out of her vehicle onto the highway in order to escape. The Ford Explorer was reportedly going about 60 mph at the time. In addition to injuries sustained from the impact, Vargas' leg was also run over by the rear tire of the Explorer.

Memo to Uber drivers: always use the app? I wonder how the car didn't crash with him inside of it?

As an UBER driver, it would be wise to install a partition between back and front seats. It's a TLC law in some juristrictions.

Im an Uber driver and rule number one is ALWAYS use the app, Uber is tracking you AND the rider on the app to make sure you are both going in the same direction as the path laid out by Uber from pickup to destination. It is for BOTH the drivers AND the passengers safety.

"Uber representative said Vargas was not using the ride-sharing app at the time. Therefore, it was not an Uber trip and was against community guidelines to contact a customer without the use of the app." Well, Uber's off the hook.
Woman marries man who saves her in Las Vegas mass shooting:
A California man and a Canadian woman who met just 24 hours before they escaped a deadly mass shooting together have since fallen in love and married.
On Sept. 30, 2017, Austin Monfort first noticed Chantal Melanson at a Las Vegas country bar. The two strangers were both in town for the Route 91 Harvest festival, a three-night event featuring top country acts and up-and-coming artists.
With the second night of the festival winding down, Monfort thought he'd try his luck and approached Melanson — only to be quickly rejected.
"I was with my girls and I gave him a hard time for not wearing cowboy boots at a country bar," Melanson, 29, tells PEOPLE.
Not to be dissuaded, Monfort waited before walking up to Melanson one last time and asking her to dance. This time she agreed, and the two danced and talked for hours before exchanging numbers.
"After I got over him not wearing cowboy boots [laughs], I thought he was really nice, handsome and tall," she says. "He was so easy to talk to, it felt like we knew each other forever."
May 17, 2020 Bryan Adams apologizes for racist ‘bat-eating’ coronavirus rant:
Canadian singer Bryan Adams has apologized after being accused of anti-Chinese racism over a profanity-filled tirade on Instagram in which he blamed “bat-eating” and “virus-making” people for the coronavirus.
“Thanks to some f—ing bat-eating, wet market animal-selling, virus-making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold,” Adams wrote in his rant. “My message to them other than ‘thanks a f—ing lot’ is go vegan.”
The singer apologized in a statement posted on Instagram Tuesday morning.
“Apologies to any and all that took offence to my posting yesterday,” he wrote. “No excuse. I just wanted to have a rant about the horrible animal cruelty in these wet-markets being the possible source of the virus, and promote veganism.”
My opinion: He didn't say a specific race, but we all knew he was talking about Asians. He apologized and it seemed sincere, so I accept his apology.
