Raining again.

I’m trying to make sure I talk to my parents who are far, far away more frequently then just the every other weekend. It is not working out as they refuse to cooperate. Hasnain Tapal, why don’t you call me as requested?? Just I am bullying you on the internets. :)

Seeing more sun in the morning then I have in a long while….

Outside 750 Bay.

Currently I spend a net total of 20 seconds to take the picture shamelessly relying on the camera plus app to add a dash of hipster cool. I call it gonzo photo style.

Thanks to Natasha’s inspiration I’m going to try my hand at actually updating my blog (photo-blog style).

This is the setting at the office today as I’m leaving work. Thanks to my peeps Rohan and my commuting buddy Kumar I did not have to bare the brunt of the miserable weather.

“Recruitment experts predicted that health care positions – home health care, registered nurses, personal aides, physiotherapists, occupational therapists – are all in great demand because of the aging population…..As we move into the new year, the advice for students is for them to enroll in courses catering to the aging population – there will be plenty of jobs associated with taking care of the old and senile waiting for these young people to graduate from proper training in this sector.”

Full read here.What the writer DOES NOT seem to get is that health care is exactly the industry where Canada and other developed nations; are gonna have a very proactive immigration policy.  A happy brain gain you can say. Rest assured there will be enough nurses, personal aides, therapists and the like  to go around.  Health care workers will be the blue collar auto factory workers of the future.
