Using "work" and "cell" together is icky.

I'm getting a cell phone paid for by work. Wooo! Here we go again: morning phone calls, evening phone calls... *sigh* Such is the price of being a big shot. If only there was some money involved.

I get my choice of these phones: please help me choose!

Coming to my census

The long form* of the 2006 Canadian Census features this question:

43. In this work, what were Cameron MacLeod's main activities?

Please give details. For example:
• prepared legal documents
• installed residential plumbing
• guided fishing parties
• made wood furniture products
• taught mathematics

I can't think of a response that doesn't depress me.

* 80% of Canadians get the short form, with eight questions. 20% of Canadians get the long form, with 52 questions. I was so excited to see the long form in the envelope. Wooo!

Update: Apparently StatsCan doesn't quite have their shit together on the internet thing. My census died on the LAST QUESTION, then when I got back in nothing was saved. I tried again and it died on question 35 or so. I'm just doing it on paper, with a strong note in the comments section about wanting to complete it electronically.
