Sunday Afternoon
Hi all,
been a quiet week AGAIN!!!
the weather has cooled down a bit, which is pretty good, no more sweating at night, I did miss the air conditioning we installed in the apt back in Bermuda last week.
Work has been up and down, couple of days of easy moving, then 1 day of everything has to be shifted here and there. Actually we have put up christmas stuff already, and apparentely there is loads more on it's way. On the plus side, this happens to be a lot lighter than the 200 pound boxes of desks, and the 300 pound pool tables we have to move.....
Aside from that, today we went to brunch at the inlaws, Roanna made some tastey pastry wrapped pepperoni, with a little bit of chedder cheese on top. We sat out in the garden and had lunch, then went off to Shuckalucks, a bar that was doing a cancer fundraiser. Richard, Roanna's brother raise over 600 bucks to have his head shaved, plus there were auctions and silent bids on other donated prizes. Last year they raised over 16000 bucks. Hopefully they do as well this year.
Roanna and I left early, I found it quite strange that at a cancer fund raiser, I swear that 90 % of the people in the room smoked......... I guess they were "investing their money" for the future.
Aside from that, I am looking for a new job, elsewhere, possible closer, or something that is a bit more "satisfying" than Costco. Roanna is doing well, not only did she get a raise at the begining of the month (she asked for it) her boss gave the staff a bonus since they did well in 2005. So far I have been given grief and extra days....... Costco did a hire last month, so far out of 5 new people I have seen come into the company, 4 have gone. This is with the new pay scale as well, ah well.......
Lets see, I may have mentioned this, but Maxine is doing very well, better than we expected, though she has become very needy at times, almost as much as Jenny when she was here.
Anywho, everyone have a good week,
Ian
