*BANG*

Happy firecracker day, my American friends.

How to not to take care of yourself.

My eating and sleeping habits in 24-hours of late

5:45 alarm goes off, start playing snooze-tag
6:15 actually get up
6:17 make and drink quadruple iced mocha, on particularly rough mornings or if I'm stuffed up I'll have some ephedrine with this
7:10 smoke on the way to the bus (not every day, about twice a week)
8:15 first coffee at work and plunk down in front of computer
9:00 second coffee
9:30 third coffee
10:15 fourth coffee
11:30 fifth coffee
12:00 microwave popcorn and sixth coffee
1:30 seventh coffee
2:45 eighth coffee
4:00 leave computer
5:00 get home, hang with kids
6:00 dinner, usually with Kool-aid or cola
7:00 help get the kids started to going to bed
7:30 retreat to basement and plunk down in front of computer to work some more
8:00 a big bowl of ice-cream, a beer, a gin & tonic, or more Kool-aid
1:00 leave the computer
1:30 go to bed and kick myself time wasted from lack of focus that comes from lack of sleep and for not going to bed hours earlier
1:45 finally fall asleep for another oh-so-fitful four hours

I seriously need some sleep and some fun. I should have some money coming in today or tomorrow so I think I will be at Sin City. But right now I'm overdue for my popcorn and coffee...

I love this company!

Our Chairman/CEO was just awarded the Order of Canada!

This is what the press release from the Governor General had to say about him:

John C. Kerr, C.M., O.B.C.
Vancouver, B.C.

He is known as an innovator and a man of vision. His company, Lignum Ltd., is a leader in environmentally sensitive forest management. Working with First Nations peoples, he ensures that their voice is integrated into business decisions and that they benefit from them. Respected for his ability to bring together diverse interests, he has served as Canada's lead negotiator in international trade talks. In addition, he is a director of numerous organizations and a philanthropist who supports a broad range of charitable causes.

Shall I mention yet again how great it feels to work for a place I can really be proud of?
