This week, I spent two days in Ottawa for consultations with the federal government, have been home for a couple of days and now head off to Moncton tomorrow for a Guiding conference.
Ottawa was a blast and I expect Moncton to be even better.
I just wish I had a nice fuzzy feeling that I actually did something useful in Ottawa. I listened attentively, made my opinions and those of my professional association known and stuck up for those who don't fit in with the mainstream of the profession. I keep being surprised at how entrenched the stereotypes are, though - and I firmly believe that translation is the main profession in this country where Anglos face racial prejudice. However, it's hard to convince someone who's never been on the receiving end that that's what it is.
But I digress. Of course, that's what blogs are for, isn't it?
