Fall has got to be my least favourite season. The pretty colours? The dropping temperatures? Those are all signs of nature dropping dead before our eyes. Sure, it is a cycle, and sooner or mostly later it bounces back and blooms and produces tasty food again. But still, I find it mildly depressing to witness. Add to that the fact I work outside and have an hour drive wrapped around my day at work like a commuter sandwich. These days I leave in the dark and come home in the dark. Golf is a distant memory, as is sitting on the patio with a beer. Some days I get a good soaking at work and have to stand under the hot shower for a while to thaw out my bones.
It’s a lousy backdrop, but it’s almost ready to give way to winter, and life continues to be mostly happy and interesting despite what’s happening outside. Hockey is in full swing, and already my favourite teams are in power nose dives heading for the bottom of the standings and oblivion, yet it still holds my interest for some reason. I get to see a lot of some of my kids and their kids which is nearly always a good thing. Christmas will be here in five weeks or so, and my birthday follows along 16 days after that. By the time the last of the wrapping paper is being hauled away in the recycling, the days will already be getting longer.

This season’s big news for me is that I finally landed a full-time job with the City. First, the job – my job! – was posted and about ten people applied for it, including me. Most of the applicants were part time employees who wanted to land any job they could to get on full time. Most of the applicants had only a vague idea what the job even was. We were herded into a room and given laptop computers on which we wrote a test. Apparently, I got one of – if not the highest – score, but it was a less than stellar 79%. Then we were separated and interviewed. My interview was a disaster. I stammered and paused and couldn’t think of anything to say. At first it was sort of amusing, and I tried hard not to panic. Slowly the gravity of the situation began to dawn on me, and it was then that I truly froze. Afterward one of the interviewers told me straight up that one of the people had an “issue” with my performance. No doubt! Thankfully, I know two of the three people quite well, and they managed to reassure the “issue” lady that I wasn’t a Clown College dropout who failed Mime class. I’ve already spoiled the ending by saying I’ve been hired, but I did, and it wasn’t as automatic as I had hoped. One day I’m going to drop by the “issue” lady’s office and surprise her with some actual sentences. It rankles me that someone I’ve spoken to thinks I’m a big blockhead whose fully actualized talent might possibly raise me up to operating a shovel. To be fair, I shouldn’t speculate what she thinks, it usually leads to trouble, and who knows, maybe she read my resume?
I wonder sometimes if my cat is happy. She doesn’t associate with other cats. At home she is chased around by a mini Frankenstein toddler who terrorizes her. She hardly goes outside in the cold, dark or rain. She doesn’t hunt or do crossword puzzles. Mostly she sleeps and eats kibble and watches people from a safe distance with a scowl. She likes me, however, and it is a definite mixed blessing. Everywhere I go in the house, the cat is a few feet away, waiting for me to sit down so she can curl up on me. Sometimes she heads off to sleep, other times she tears at me with her claws and purrs. It is too much neediness for me. I am patient with her, but I really wish she’d expand her horizons and claw someone else once in a while. My day is long enough without having some love starved cat cling to me like the last chopper out of Saigon. At Christmas we are lodging another cat for a couple weeks, and our cat will be distraught. The other cat and our cat don’t get along, and the other cat bullies our cat. It’s too bad they aren’t pals, but maybe she will be too distracted to follow me around for a few blissful days.
