It's been awhile.
Nevertheless, there's not too much to update on. At least in terms of
my existence.
The work has continued, luckily. It seemed like we were going to be laid off for awhile there, but things picked up and now it looks like we'll be working for at least the remainder of the month.
But not me, because I'm headed to Winnipeg for Christmas! Arrival: December 19th, Departure: December 26th. Everyone prepare for more good times!!!
The Plasti-Fab Christmas Party was Saturday night at the Rockway Golf Course Clubhouse. I had a great time, in spite of the lack of sleep. See, I wasn't scheduled to work overtime that morning, so I engaged in my usual late night marathon of Naruto episodes. Following which, I tossed and turned for awhile before finally dozing off just past 5am. The phone rang at 6:17am. Someone hadn't shown up and they needed me to come in to work. Being the holiday season, its tough to pass up OT, so I accepted the invitation. I got home around 1:30 in the afternoon, lounged around and showered. Tried to catch a bit of a nap, but it didn't last long. Alina called a little past 4 to ask if I could help her with a flat tire. Being the chivalrous type I am, of course I went to help. It was for the best, I needed to get myself woken up and ready for the evening.
I picked Alina up around 6:30, dressed up in my finest suit. It feels good to dress up once in awhile. Nevertheless, my companion for the evening looked infinitely better than I. We had a really good time, I was even in high enough spirits to make a fool of myself on the dance floor doing some hokey country dance moves. I didn't take my camera with me, but there were plenty of pictures taken and if I manage to obtain any I promise to post them here.
Still going steady at the gym, 4 times a week. The resolve hasn't faltered yet :).
We put new tires and brakes on the Grand Am, probably a good thing because the treads on the old tires were worn down to the nubs. It was almost like driving on slicks. It drives infinitely better, and I find myself looking forward to the snow even more.
Oh, how about that holiday campaigning? Tax cuts Tax cuts and Tax cuts, so we're told. I was going to write a huge rant about the national debt, but its hardly worth the time. Most people in the country seem to be dead set on sacrificing the future for the present. Each generation successively passing the buck to the next, desperately hoping that it doesn't one day catch up to us. And that goes for more than just the debt. Are any of these self-serving jackasses really worth a vote of confidence? I wish I could say yes. But it's doubtful.
