Sunday Evening
Hi all,
Not much happening this week, work...sleep....work...sleep, thats about it. Saturday we went to the bank to do some banking stuff, change a few things and accounts and such. Sunday we arranged to meet at Costco and do some shopping, Roanna was to pick me up after work (10 am), though they could not open the stores due to an electrical problem with the registers (no power). So we came back home, loaded up the car with the bottles and cans, and took them down to the recycle center (hello, $24) washed the car. Went to the store for some buns and soda water, then back home to make some chili dogs and potato wedges, sat down and watched the Calgary Flames play hockey (not so well they lost!!!)
Then up and back to Costco to do some shopping for the week (and a bit more), buying in bulk fills out the fridge.......
Cooked dinner, and watched some TV and in a bit, I think I will be off to the shower and bed, up at 3:45 and off to work at 4:15. Next week I should be going back to 2 days off, I just get and had Tuesday off for the last two weeks, which was a supprise to me. The job is going well, I seem to be getting the hang of it, good exercise to and from work and ALOT of heavy lifting. It tends to be a bit frustrating though, when you have spent 1/2 hour moving and stacking items neatly for display, to come in the next day and find that it has been moved some where else. Well I guess it could be worse, they could be moving the REALLY heavy stuff on a daily basis....
Friday is my first paycheck, not much but again better that what I have been making for the last 18 months. I plan to stick it out for at least the 90 days probation, maybe I can try to get an early raise or some other perk.... At best it is close to work, and I get alot of exercise (plus shed a few of those pounds I have put on). Then I get the benefit of shopping there, even if I eventually leave, we will deffinately have to get a card, some of the meats and other things down there are really good.
Anyhoo, hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go............. damm and I was only off 6 weeks I can only imagine how you felt those first few days going back to a work routine!!!
Sounds like you make some early hours...I remember making 4am and I hope I never have to do it again. I am not an early to bed person, and it bothered be to have to be in bed by 9pm. Anyweay I know you are glad to be doing any work at any hour and it won't take you long to be rolling in the dough again. You are a very hard worker. At least you can get a little off your groceries. I wish they had proper recycling here. Here you have to put your stuff on the side of the road and the recycle people get it. If you hold your cans aside, then by the time you get to Providence you don't get much left over once you pay for your gas....anyway, my love to you and Roanna....love Linda
