Following my exciting trip to Toronto, I have a job. I am therefore very busy re-arranging my new pens, buying books, reading blogs 'for research', waxing my satchel etc, and it is brilliant.
It is brilliant for these reasons:
1. I am being paid to think
2. Even better, I am being paid to think about things I find interesting (e.g. chocolate)
3. I am not working with idiots. Au contraire! I am working with splendid people.
4. Sometimes I must work at home (where it is quiet and I can think)
5. But sometimes I can go to an office (where it is interesting and full of people)
6. It allows me to be be metaphorically non-working (in my heart) whilst earning enough money to buy sweets, crisps, hats etc.
7. It is freelance.
Also, I am paid to watch things like this and ask questions (of myself), e.g. why is Amanda Lear singing the song? What are the rabbits for?, etc.
All this means I am very busy. For example, right now this second I must go and eat some more chocolate (aka "research"), and then I must have a conference call - a conference call that I know for a fact will be better than the last one.
UPDATE:
In truth, I haven't got much to say, what with getting on with it and all of that (whatever 'it' is). This is good though.

Is it really somebody called Amanda singing that song? It sounds more like somebody called Kevin.
Amanda Lear = famous transexual lady. Yes.
I get it ! It's like one of those sciencey-ish commercials where there's all sorts of subliminal messages, except that here they left the images on too long. Maybe to better connect with the slow-reacting pot-smoking demographic ?
I'm sure the ad was a huge success with the people who really like biting into badminton-playing girls made of gold.
Well done and congratulations.
If you need help testing chocolate, call me. I am willing to make the sacrifice because it is the right thing to do, don't you think?
I absolutely do not have a bar of chocolate on my desk right now. Half a bar, maybe...
Nice "work". Well done etc.
wait, wait wait wait, so you'll be responsible for the creating masterpieces such as this and contribute to the decay of civilization? just for crisps?
surely sex blogging about your neighbor, the gardener in the nude is more socially responsible.
I will be working on a plate of turkey stuffing and veggies in your honor tomorrow. This is the type of work I'm famous for.
Then I'll be working on a nap.
Leftovers at 8pm or so - then my job will be done.
Happy November 22nd to you.
Congrats on the, er, work.
So, you want US to do your homework for you? And YOU get the chocolate. Oh, right.
paid to eat chocolate and think?
let's jo share! i am eminently qualified to eat chocolate. (you can still do the thinking part.)
Let's not forget what happened when you were working on Cadbury's. All that chocolate in your drawers (desk, that is).
By the way, living as you do in the Canadia, did you know they brought back Wispa back in the old country?
Congrats on the gig! Sounds well suited...
So this staying in Canada thing is getting serious, eh?
My husband says, "nice chocolate," and asks, "why is the ad in czech?"
ps. Amanda Lear and rabbits = sexy luxery, but in a kitschy camp sort of way, I think. :)
The reason the advertisement is in Czech is simple - it is a Czech commercial!! Also I was not really asking why; it was merely an excuse to show you all something funny. I will be sure to "flag it" more clearly next time, e.g. "GENUINE QUESTION COMING UP" or "RHETORICAL QUESTION APPROACHING" or "NOT-REAL QUESTION BEING ASKED IN AN IRONIC STYLE". What do you think?
MM - the best one was when I had a cupboard full of it and someone asked for a packet of Buttons, which I gave them (in return for a go on their boyfriend), but as I opened the cupboard three boxes fell on my head. I have not been the same since but see it as the local third 'bad thing' involving things falling off walls, with the cover on the gas meter in at no 1, and the kitchen cupboard in at number 2.
Thank you all for your kind words. I am cheerful, but worried by Canadian weather.
I'm a professional chocolate eater who lives in Toronto (very very very far away from Montreal).
Canadian weather is nowhere near as bad as hurricanes in the Caribbean. But then again, I've never experienced hurricanes in the Caribbean, so I'm just bluffing. Dress warm and carry a shovel.
sauce.
Congratulations.
