Didn't Get Called Back for Work

Well, we didn't get called back again after my second day of work. We ran out of parts to inspect, so I guess that's the reason. Was still good to get a couple days of work in and to know that I've still got it. We were going by a system where the agency was calling every day to individually ask for us back, and we had to sign in to front office every day. Felt really temporary, and I guess it was. They had a nice system for payment, though. Instead of getting our pay sheets signed and then handing them into the agency, we just recorded our information, and the supervisor took it and reported it to the agency. Combine that with Direct Deposit, and you've got a system where all you do is work and get paid. Pretty smooth.

You know how they got rid of the Canadian penny because it cost more to make them than they were worth? Yeah well, word on the street is that there's plans to get rid of our Toonie ($2 coin) and replace it with plastic $2 bills because the two metals found inside the coins make them too expensive to produce. Not sure why we wouldn't just revert to using only one metal...

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario almost went on strike, apparently. Don't really know what it was about, but it sounds like this isn't the first time it's happened, and the establishment always complies with demands right before a strike.
