My emailed dinged at 7:58 AM with the dreaded assignment of the day, Ford watch!

The assignment breaks down into three parts, waiting for Mayor Rob Ford to get to work, this becomes the dreaded elevator watch, surprising councillors, staff and visitors to the second floor. This is followed by tracking his movements through the offices and then prepping for his departure.

Here is the day,



9:15:15 AM - Councillor Ana Bailão arrives.
