I have a visitor this weekend, my cousin Dave from Edmonton is in town and we are heading to the BC Lions/Edmonton Eskimos football game tonight. It is great to have family come for a visit, life is so busy and we need to take time out to be with those we love.
Game will be a good time as we are both Eskimo fans and will be dressed up in our gear. Looks like there will be a break in the weather so maybe the roof will be open on BC Place.
It has been exactly two weeks since my incident. I have not been a very happy camper since it happened and the hoops I have to jump through to make things better are pissing me off. Two weeks ago on my drive home I was minding my own business when someone hit me from behind. While the damage to my Volkswagen Touareg may seem minor the fact that my vehicle which was in perfect shape has been damaged is not sitting well with me. At first I was probably in shock and was not too emotional but after a day or so I started to get very angry. It is not like I was broken into but I do feel violated.
Now I have to wait to get it fixed and in the meantime I will be driving a rental and hoping that my vehicle is repaired and made as good new. Pisses me off every time I think about it.
As I have a New IPhone I decided to setup this blog so it is viewable on Smartphones. So far I have tested it on my IPhone and will see what it looks like on a Blackberry when I get a chance. I love technology. As I get time I will tweak the setup to give more access to my blog from Smartphones.
As much as I like challenges I prefer things to flow in a straight forward somewhat simple fashion. Being able to balance work and everyday life is very important to me and it looks like there is more change coming for me at work. Not sure how the changes will impact me or my role but I do know there will be some impacts. After all the changes I have been through in the last 2 years and especially last year I am not sure where I will find the strength to work through the upcoming changes. My energy reserves are getting a little low and I was kinda hoping that massive changes would not occur again for the foreseeable future.
Oh well I am told that what does not kill you will make you stronger I guess I am going to give Superman a run for his money.
It is an early Christmas for me as I have a couple of new toys in my toy box. I have decided to get myself an IPhone 4S and join the Apple craze. To go along with my new phone I have a new laptop, a MacBook Pro
Before getting my new IPhone and MacBook Pro I had very little experience with Apple products and have been a life long Windows/Microsoft user. I have had my iPhone for just over a week and absolutely love it. The Macbook I have had for a few weeks and am still getting used to the differences in operating a Mac versus a Windows machine. Even though I am still in new user mode I am really loving the sleek and simple Mac OS and software. Never thought I would say this but it looks like the Macbook is my new goto computer.
Using it in conjunction with my new IPhone is so simple and learning the nuances of a Mac is really straightforward. I am not quite sure I am fully onboard but I think I have to admit I am joining the folks who adore their Apples.
It is that time of the year where the seasons change and we get to look forward to hockey season. I picked up my Abbotsford Heat Seasons Tickets tonight and next Friday October 14th is the home opener. There has been a number of changes with the team this year including new coaches and a new president along with some new players. The new president is Ryan Walter and it is interesting to listen to Ryan speak and listen to his passion about the game. A nice little bonus I picked up at the event this evening was a door prize. Kinda a large door prize….
There are 17 packets of coffee, two large cans of coffee, a glass mug, a travel mug and a metal coffee storage container.
Pretty nice surprise and I have a really nice basket which I think I might use for picnics.
Anyone up for a picnic!
