Over the weekend, I talked with a former co-worker and discovered something that totally disgusted me.

Last year around April I got very sick and had to spend a night in the hospital. When I got out a couple of co-workers came by our house to see how I was doing and wish me well. Apparently the supervisor of this former co-worker said in a round about way that he could not believe that they actually went over to our house!

I guess we have some sort of disease or something. Maybe it is the gay cooties. I was of course sworn to secrecy and then again I still work there so I would be unable to speak out to substantiate it anyway. Now everytime I see this guy's face, I will think about that comment that was said behind my back. I have lost any respect for this person.

She told me something else. That I couldn't change the world. That is true I said but I can change the world around me. I can choose who I will associate with. It just goes to show that even here in Canada it can happen. You can change the law but you can't change the people.
I am still not used to this place. I want it to feel like home but I don't know if it ever will. Sometimes I feel guilty that I feel this way after all this country did give us freedom. If we could just go home. But I don't know if that will ever happen so unfortunately we are forced to make it home.
