Many of our Individual Learning Plans (ILP's) are not fully completed.

To be properly completed, you have to click on "Save final version" and send it to your manager for approval. It has to be in final form in order for your manager to approve it.

Once it is approved, a hard copy has to be dated and signed by you and your manager. The hard copy then goes to HR.

Please do your best to finalize your ILP's and forward them to So and So by the end of the month, so we can finalize the PREA process. These ILP's have to be attached to the PREAs.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered for the Habitat for Humanity project. The response has been wonderful: we already have considerably more than our maximum of 20 volunteers for December 5. I've asked about arranging a second day, but at this point Habitat is fully booked through 2008 and is not yet taking bookings for 2009. (We're on a waiting list in case another group cancels, though that is apparently not very likely.)

If you still want to volunteer but haven't yet (maybe because December 5 didn't work for you), I can add your name to the list for our to-be-determined second day and confirm with you once we know when it is.

I am pleased to announce that Mahvish Mian and Lucas Price, who articled last year for us and the Department of Justice, are being called to the bar, and will be joining us this Monday.

Mahvish received her BA in psychology with distinction at York University, and was on the Dean's Honour Roll. She then pursued her legal studies at Osgoode Hall, receiving her LLB in 2007. While studying law, she was active in the Community and Legal Aid Services Programme. Mahvish will be joining our Brampton team.

Lucas received his BA in history and international relations from Mount Allison University in 1998, and went on to acquire his Teacher's Certificate in 2000. After teaching high school for four years, he began his legal studies, receiving his LLB with distinction from the University of Western Ontario in 2007. Elected by his class to give the valedictorian address, Lucas received a number of awards in law school, including the Brian Dickson medal for top oralist in 2006, and the JSD Tory writing prize in 2007. Lucas will be joining our Old City Hall team.

Please join me in welcoming these new counsel to our offices.

[That one I find especially funny, if only because it confirms how astoundingly unqualified I am to work for these people.]

Hi William.

You're [sic] offer letter is dated until August 1st and as far our HR department is concerned that is your last day. In order to stay until the 6th, David will need to speak to someone else for approval and then there is additional paperwork that will need to be completed.

Senior Guy, can you or David let me know once approval for Will's extension has been given (or not), please. Thank you.

Seems like a very slippery situation.
