Dog of Dracula

Really, this little game is pretty amazing for what it does. It's a short and simple adventure game where you try to find the dog of dracula some sauce - which then unrolls into larger conspiracies. It's not going to change the world, but what it is, is delightfully bizarre. Play it for more than a few minutes and give it a shot.

Junction Craft Brewing - Conductor's Craft Ale

I am overdue to say something about this lovely ale. It's on tap at our local, Boo Radley's along with a number of other establishments in town. A very hop forward American Pale Ale (meaning it is definitely hoppy), combining 5 malt types and 5 hop types (unless I'm mistaken on reading their chalkboard the other night) resulting in a beer that has both a well rounded maltiness and hoppiness to it. The hoppiness is in that range that you could definitely say "Yes this tastes hoppy and I like it" but not "This thing is so hoppy I'm being blown out of the water". I like it and my wife likes it, which is rare for a beer of this type, usually when the hops are at the level that I like she's hands off. It's my go-to beer lately when I'm out and I recommend that if you have the chance to try it that you do so.

The Junction Brewery isn't that far from the Junction area of Toronto either, just up on Keele and a little bit east from there (90 Cawthra Avenue Unit #101). It's worth visiting as they have a number of other beers on offer there as well, each with their own merits. Perhaps in later posts.

technicians, location differences

Right now I'm working at two pharmacies. I had spent a lot of time at one prior to being licensed as an intern/student and have a good relationship with pretty much everyone there. People there generally know what needs to be done and how to do it with minimal direction. That's partly why it was such a surprise when after licensing I got assigned to a new store and the technicians there weren't like that. There could be a huge line building up on one side or the other of the pharmacy and people would be just standing around discussing someone's trip. That is not how things are supposed to be.

I have found that they needed more hands on direction. Maybe after a while it won't be needed, but for now I need to keep my eyes open and make sure that things that need doing are being done. I've found so far that taking charge of the situation has helped a lot, hopefully I'll be able to ease off a bit later on just so I'm not on peoples' cases so much.
