Storm day today, Been at it for over 3 hours so far, though sounds a bit like it's starting to mix with rain at the moment. Still some pretty big snowflakes zipping down, though. Luckily of course, it's Sunday and most of us don't have to worry about getting to work. My favourite kind of storm day. Yeah, it's nice having the day off work for a ( Read more... )

There are only three sleeps until Graham arrives. And I'm freaked out because there's a volcano in Iceland that may or may not erupt and spew ash through the atmosphere. Sometimes the news articles are worrying, sometimes they are slightly more hopeful... Mainly because the scientlsts don't know, either, what's going to happen. Ain't Nature mad? ( Read more... )

Very quiet weekend due to a good sized snowstorm on Saturday. While it wasn't quite as bad in the city as they said it would be, it was still over a foot of snow. The rest of the province away from the water got it a lot harder, as did other areas of the east coast. The winds were really high too and that caused damage. We are supposed to get a ( Read more... )

First full week since Christmas. Five day weeks always seem so long! ;) We've had our Earned Day Off plan at work reinstated since mid-last year so now I can look forward to every third Friday off or thereabouts, depending on when I need to take the day. For instance, If i have appointments or something else i need a day off for, i can always ( Read more... )

It seems to look very much like there will be a transit strike starting Thursday until whenever. Even though, according to the news, the management has given way on the two main points that the union was arguing over, the union hasn't made any motion to go back to talks again. So what really was their agenda? Take that and want more and more? I"m ( Read more... )

I think I owe my soul to the Grocery store! Yeesh! I really was out of everything. I asked Mom to take me yesterday and it cost me $188!!! Today I've got a pork with peanut sauce stewing in the slow cooker. That's the difference between finding the last can of soup in the cupboard or having toast for supper ( Read more... )

We have been getting so spoiled with the weather. Mostly it's not really been all that cold, with temps mainly in the single digits on the plus side or just into the negatives. Then when we do have a few colder days like this week, you really feel it worse. Everyone complains but then you remember, it *is* January after all ( Read more... )

It started to snow lightly by mid morning. It never did come down hard but it kept up. From our new work location, we can look out on a hill and watch the cars and even busses skidding up the hill! Heard through the day about lots of accidents and very bad traffic. First snowfall of the year always brings out the stupid in so many drivers. By the ( Read more... )

We're finally all in the newly renovated office space. I'm quite pleased with my space, it's very large. Larger than i've had for the most part, ever other than the time we had open plan type spaces where we shared a desk with our cellmate. That always made it feel more open though the actual work and chair space wasn't that large. This is a very ( Read more... )
