How will you spend your $100?

The Government of British Columbia is giving BC residents a $100 rebate on the carbon tax instigated earlier this year. Earlier this year The Tyee.com asked us “How will you spend your $100?” The response was interesting, to say the least, and many people will be using it for personal items that they may have bought anyways. The Tyee also asked people to send their ideas in of what we could do with the cash (approximately 440 million combined). To encourage response, The Tyee turned it into a contest. There is now a website called “Green Your Campbell Cash” which is promoting Green Initiatives for people to pool their $100 rebates. Personally, I haven’t decided how to spend my $100, but I will definitely be putting it towards something bigger. I have had some ideas while thinking about the future of this city, and eventually moving into my own home. I plan to attend a “Climate Cafe” which is a proposed event to discuss the potential of the Green Your Campbell Cash initiative. What will you be doing with your $100 carbon tax rebate?

New Episode (64) of Cast On: a podcast for knitters by Brenda Daynes. Grace of Lovin’ Comfort Knits has her shawl entered in a contest at Live Stitch. Vote for her! I entered a blog contest and I’m so ashamed to say, that I’ve lost the URL (I put it somewhere in my Feed Reader) so I could promote it!

10 things that annoy you about work

I’m trying out this new weekly meme; it’s called Ten on Tuesday. Today’s topic is 10 Things that Annoy you About Work. Play along if you like! Clients who don’t respond to their emails or phone calls in a timely fashion. Clients who want what they want, when they want it… but will never get me the things I need to work! Clients who don’t pay me!! (when I’m doing freelance) Noise: tapping, clicking, snapping, smashing, thunking, chatting, ugh. Can’t concentrate! Starchy office clothing… I would choose comfy sweatpants over dress pants any day! People who eat at their desk & make nasty eating noises… like crunching, slurping, and smacking. Mornings…. early mornings. Having to either pack lunch or spend money on lunch. People thinking there are office fairies that clean up the break room (I temped in offices). Traffic during the commute in either direction.
