signs, signs, everywhere there's signs

the Department of Justice has a posting for a paralegal. i've received the posting no less than four different times from four different, unrelated sources. do you think it's a sign? i should apply for it. the starting salary is more than i make now. what's the worse they could do? hire me?

volunteered at the judges' dinner again tonight. and again, two years in a row, public transportation done me wrong. last year, i think it was snow related or the traffic was at a standstill. this year, a skytrain car decided to go off the rails (when i was not on it) and messed up the entire system. a trip that normally would take me 25 minutes took me almost 2 1/2 hours. i was suppose to be the first person to get there (with the nametags and the attendance list) and i was one of the last. luckily, i arrived with so much adrenaline pumping through me that i was able to butterfly around to different tables and socialize. i joked around in the buffet lineup with one of the provincial court judges. i joked around at the receiving table with an appeal judge. i made great conversation with a very attractive male lawyer sitting beside me at our table (he's married with child on the way). i was even able to say hello and sustain a good conversation with my former boss, now PCJ in Surrey. it was fab. but next year, i'm taking the day off so i can actually get to the event on time.

and now, to bed for this girl.
