I have finally had enough of that stupid company and gave my notice to be done in the spring. The last straw was being hauled on the carpet for "speeding." (2x) We are supposed to travel 10 k under the speed limit on numbered highways and 20 k under under secondary highways and 50 k max on gravel at night, totally ridiculous, all winter we are driving to work and home in the dark with a huge line of vehicles behind us and invariably one of them passes unsafely. There's going to be an accident one of these days.
I have noticed that knowing when I will done does not make any difference to how much the stupidity affects me. Got offered a job the day I gave my notice so I am thinking that I will not have trouble finding something interesting to do when I am ready to work again. Theresa says I need some time off before I make any decisions. (I think she has her own plans for my days of freedom.)

I do so post

Some folks think that I never post, but to prove that untrue...
Not much new in Rocky. Sam is home and working 2 jobs, as a summer stupid at Husky and back at A+W as a shift manager. Grace is studying for finals. Theresa is too busy, Tim we never see and Anne and Will- we'll find out next weekend.
I am buying the truck I had on the personal fleet program back from BP, so we will travel to BC in style. I had the truck cleaned last week, and it is sparkling inside and out.
Theresa's garden/yard is looking very good- in spite of the rain and cool weather we have been having. She has a plan to tear down half of my greenhouse to have more sitting room- even though she never sits. I haven't started on the demolition yet though.
Have to transfer some wine from one container to another today, then it sits for another 2 weeks. Probably won't get it bottled until mid July because of the HB trip and my wine making partner's vacation plans. Last batch is supurb.
I'm contemplating another batch of beer, but timing isn't working out.

Cold

Cold Cold Cold
I had to take my work truck in for a windshield repair this morning, and when I started it it seemed to be complaining a bit. When I got in to drive, I saw that the temperature was -30.
I guess I should have plugged it in. I think I will be buying the truck back from the lease company in the next couple of months. I had them price it for me and the buy-out is very very good.
It has also been snowing all day-not hard, but if it was rain it would be a shower. We had a couple of inches last night too. Makes me look forward to the trip in the spring.

Not much new in Rocky. It has turned very cold (-38 this AM) and it always takes a while to get used to it. Grace has a Hockey tournament this weekend, so that will keep us busy, between games and parent volunteering in between.
