Calgarians

Since no one has put a post on here since April 22 (thanks Ramona) and no one has made a comment to any other posting. I thought I would ramble on here for a while.

Not much is new. Work goes as work goes. Sometimes being a civil servant is just fine. 8:00 to 4:30 Monday to Friday, you can do nothing or anything without getting fired, no room for promotions, so basically an comfortable ride until retirement.

Alberta may be the richest Province in the nation but most of the programs have to live within their budgets ( Wow! What a concept). We cut all our services by 5% this year. That made for a lot of pissed off people; still not hearing the end of it. We will go on as we always have.

Mike and I talk frequently. We try and get together at least once= a week Sundays. He said he will be biking out to Bragg Creek today about 60K return.

Last weekend Liz and I took Cole overnight it was great, we spoiled him rotten then sent him home to his parents (HAHA).

Amanda is now a "Day Home" she has a couple of part-time kids that she supports three day a week. She probably won't be taking any more she said two is enough. stephanie's doing fine, we'll be seeing later today for a visit. Her and Derek are getting along fine.

Liz is adjusting to being back at work. Not too bad for her; no overtime, shift ends at 4:30 exactly. So now she's waiting for me (Big change). She knows the job and seems to enjoy most of it.

Most of the painting is done in the house, we still have the kitchen to do, but we're in no rush.

Well that's about it.

Take care all.
