I love the fall. It\u2019s always been my favourite season. The only problem is that it never lasts long enough. But it\u2019s a great time of year.<\/p>\n
I like the fact that the bugs are gone and while the days might be warmish, the nights are cool. Rainy days usually clear up pretty quick. And I like the longer nights too. Sure, winter is coming, but that\u2019s all right. It\u2019s all part of this four season thing that makes living in this country so great.<\/p>\n
But the fall is also a time of change. Kids are going back to school, and work often starts piling up again after a summer lull. Fall sports kick in, literary societies start planning a new series of readings, the fall schedule on CBC begins (OK, not this year, but usually).<\/p>\n
Roy McGregor, a columnist with the Globe and Mail thinks that Labour Day should really be the start of the Canadian New Year \u2013 not January 1. His idea makes a certain amount of sense, when you think about it.<\/p>\n
This fall could be significant for me as well. I\u2019ve been freelancing for the last couple of years and I\u2019ve loved it. I like the independence and the chance to work on a variety of jobs without the usual day-to-day stuff that comes with a job you have to commute to every day. But as nice as it\u2019s been, the work has been slow lately. So I\u2019m considering returning to the full-time workforce. <\/p>\n
Heading back into Toronto full time might not be a preferred option, but communication jobs outside of the GTA don\u2019t seem too plentiful. But that\u2019s OK. Commuting can be a positive experience, given the opportunity to read and catch up on personal stuff that comes with long train rides\u2026or at least, that\u2019s the attitude I\u2019ll try to take.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll let you know what happens. But in the meantime, if you know someone who\u2019s looking for help with their communications planning or writing, or websites, etc., keep me in mind\u2026meanwhile, I\u2019ll be enjoying watching the leaves change colour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
