I always knew something was wrong with CBC when I was there. Not the programming, well at least not all the time, but management. They always seemed sketchy and greedy to me. And now my suspicions are proven true.
Management will sacrifice 800 jobs, but only 70 of their numbers. Those cuts affect those who work to put the CBC on air. Management, meanwhile, goes on a lot of courses and meetings at Niagara. They are thick in numbers and cowards for not taking a cut when needed.
I'll wait to see how it all shakes down at the Mother Corp and see who is getting fired, what stations are being downsized, what shows will go missing and who the casualties are. All the while watching management rake in obscene amounts of money, taking an obscene number of trips for useless training course. And I do mean useless, because after this hit, they won't have anyone left to manage.

Inappropriate Talking
Are you allowed to talk during aerobics?
I ask because I am in an aerobics class, and there are several people who use the class like the local coffee shop. Is that normal?
They do their routines, half-heartedly may I add, and talk loudly over the music and the instructor. Even scowls from others and the instructor do not deter them.
Does anyone else have this problem? Am I on glue thinking these people are rude and annoying? Advise, please.
Grapeviningly Yours,

Homesick
These are the days when I wish we lived closer to family.
Byron's uncle is sick and is not long for this world. The plane ticket for the two of us to fly off this island is more than $1,000. Yowza! We could drive, but that is scary and long and we'd show up exhausted and delirious. We'd both like to go, but can only really afford for one of us. This is so frustrating!
As soon as I could, I left home. Sure, I came back a couple times but never stayed for long. Both my grandmothers died when I was away. I would have loved to go say goodbye to them both, but the cost was far too much. It was almost justified. You would think that a wee 1.5 hour trip would not break the bank, and now that it's proving that really is the case, it's harder than I thought.
I can't bear to think what it's going to be like when my parents pass. My dad has had cancer, my mom has MS. What if the cancer comes back? What if my mom takes a turn for the worse?
Longingly Yours,
xoxoSally
