Had a nice visit week with my granddaughter visiting us.

She is 8 now.

 Starting a new job! Kickoff meeting is today!

Yay!

Happy Fourth to everyone!

good news/bad news...

good news. Contacted by old friends in Scotland and Australia, but the bad news was to tell me
and old friend had passed away. :(

I was supposedly being retained until EOY 2017 at my current job, but Corporate mergers intervened and now I have only until E Q1, 2017. bummer, but  Hopefully I should find something soon.

Good news. I made chocolate fudge cupcakes on Sunday.
Bad news or gooder news. I'm taking them into work for my colleagues..  :)

Busy week. Long hours
Tuesday 2am-10pm on a long support call.
Started out as an unresponsive read-only filesystem and ended up
having to move production over to a newly built lab copy.
didn't get finished until 2pm Wednesday eventually.
The rest of this week I'm just tired - really - really tired..
I'm going to bed at 10:07pm tired!
Tomorrow is a lovely day.. :)

Bella redux

Bella has been gone over a year now. Marley is healing our hearts but
we won't forget miss bella

Enjoying working where I'm at.
The variety of work is enormous.

I received some sad news last week. the manager who hired me
succumbed to a long illness.  It's a little strange around here right now.

Getting ready for a long winter down here.
My appartment is warm enough, but there is considerable distance from where I
park to the road. I will need a really large shovel is we get a lot of snow.

New Marley Picture. "where is MY plate?. Oh nm, I'll steal some off of grandad's plate.."
