Well finally it is sunny outside, how dreary the last couple of days have been with all the rain. I have been having a pretty good week though all the same, all things considered. I must be getting a touch of the cold that is going around because all of a sudden on Tuesday night my throat started to ache. Today it is not too bad since I popped some Advil last night before going to bed. So today I fell like a new me again.

Everyone at work are still in a either a twist about losing their job or are positive that we will get another contract. I have my own opinion that I will keep to myself for the time being but believe me it is not a positive one I have the mind set of I will believe it when I see it, and there is no sense in stressing over it because it will get you nothing and nowhere.

They had a party on Monday that I did not attend because it was my day off and I was not going down to work just for some free food, yes I know they were giving away prizes but I could not be bothered. Then that night I checked my email and one of the people email me and said I had one a prize so I laughed it off as a joke because I never win anything anyway so thought he was just screwing with me. Then low and behold my best friend emailed me and told me the same thing. Turns out I had won a patio set, not too shabby at all hunh?

Kind of ironic though seeing how I live in an apartment building with no patio and on a second floor to boot. People at work found that amusing when they heard that one, some people wanted too buy it off me and one offer was a hundred dollars. Hmmm lets see plastic dishes that came with it still had the price tags on them and they added up to almost a hundred dollars by themselves. So I did not fall for that, someone remarked that I could use the patio table as a table for my kitchen. I did not realize I look like a hill Billie so now they want me too turn my place into a redneck haven? In the end we decided too keep the set, one reason because like my wife said we are not going to live in an apartment forever and secondly because we never win anything so it would be cool to keep it. So there you go case closed. Anyway go to go and get ready to head too work talk to you all later have a good one everybody.

Hmmm, after yesterday I wonder how long it will be before I am collecting unemployment. Things look bleak let me tell you but I did not find it a big shock at all to say the least I suspected something like that could happen anyway, how ever a lot of people seemed surprised. At the very least I am hoping that I will get the summer off, my luck we will be fucked out of that but oh well what to do right? Anyway got too go and head to ”WORK” while I still can I guess, talk to you all later.

My weekends go by way too quick I find, not that I do a whole hell of a lot to be truthful but is the principle of the fact. Like Saturday night, we went to the laundry mat, not a fun way to spend a Saturday night but we had an over flow of dirty clothes because of our road trip last weekend so we were in desperate need of clean clothes. The good thing was the place was absolutely empty which enabled us to get done very quickly.

Then Sunday was race day of course, which my wife has me totally corrupted into watching NASCAR. If you can’t beat them join them right? She wants to go and see a race this summer if I can get the time off work and I think that would be a pretty cool experience to see one in real life. I can just imagine the roar of the engines and how loud it would be in the flesh. What can I say my life is boring right now, nothing to complain about in my personal life. Work is ok there is a lot of time between calls which makes for a boring day. But we can not have it all I guess because if it was busy I would be complaining about that I guess. Anyway go too go talk to you all later.

I am running on fumes now to be honest with you, I have just returned from “the rock” also known as Newfoundland. We left on Thursday night and crossed the gulf on the ferry for the night crossing. Thank god we had a cabin, and then we had the pleasure of a ten hour car ride. Talk about fun boys and girls, now tourist may enjoy the scenery but when you have seen it umpteen times well it gets old really quick.

We got to the other side of the island and got too relax and do some visiting with my wife’s family which was the whole reason for the trip in the first place. Then on Monday it was time for a repeat, ten hour drive and a six hour ferry ride (I forgot to mention how long it took) talk about fun right? Although I must admit it was a bit of a rough crossing last night there was a lot of ice and the ship brought up solid last night when it hit an ice pack so hard I had to grab the bunk to keep from falling out. As an added bonus the sip was rolling pretty hard, I guess it must have been windy out on the Atlantic. Mind you the sip rocking did not bother me but it made it hard to keep your balance let me tell you, besides the movement of the ship lulled me too sleep.

The highlight of the trip was spending some quality time with my wife and son, finally getting too meet my wife’s parents and a couple of the other family members I had not met yet. The best part of the trip is that I am home though let me tell you. I do not want to do that trip again any time soon. While I was down there I did not go and visit any of my family because, frankly I am sick of the bull shit that goes with them. You can pick your friends but not your family and too bad I say because sometimes I would like to be able too. But then again I am still the black sheep in my family so it is all good in my world.

I got a digital camera this weekend with a 128 meg memory card for it as well bought for me by my wife as an anniversary present, so either later on today of tomorrow or so I will put up a couple of pictures I have taken. Anyway got too go talk to you all later have a good one everybody.
