Awww Sunny, you are what EVERYONE is looking for ;)

I knew you would like that, that's why I didn't erase it lol.

Sunny, I have a big party to cook for this weekend, any suggestions? I need an app or light meal (chilli or taco dip... )

[88sunflower]

Taco dip always goes over super well here. Or those mini dogs wrapped and baked in the croissants. I have also made pin wheels. There are a million easy recipes for those. Mine were just ham spread with bacon bits and cream cheese rolled up and sliced.

Little late here but can you send me some pinwheels please?

Hey Adam how you doing?

[adam_89]

Hey Bear! I am good, how about you?

[albear]

Not so bad
I finish work on Friday so good news there :)

[adam_89]

That's awesome man! Glad to hear it.

[albear]

Cheers, quite looking forward to it to be honest :)

[adam_89]

I would say, I am looking forward to a vacation, it has been way overdue and over a year now. Changing jobs is kind of like a vacation though so it hasn't been so much hell or I would have taken a vacation if I was still at my last job. What time is it there? I can never remember the time difference.

[albear]

Vacation deffinetly sounds tempting, where are you off to?

Its 12:50 here (lunch time :D )

[adam_89]

I want to go to punta cana in the dominican republic. Probably won't be until January though but that is fine, cold here and nice sandy beaches there. I wish it were 1250 here it is 750 here and I am hungry for some reason even though I ate 3 hours ago. Haha

[albear]

4.50? what are your work hours like?

I couldn't imaging getting up that early on a regular basis.

[adam_89]

Yea I get up at 415 every morning and then I leave my house about 445 and stop and get a drink sometimes food, get to work about 545 and have a cigarette and then start work at 6. then work until 430. We work 4 10 hour days a week and the rest of the week is optional for overtime. This week I am working 20 hours of overtime. Getting up early isn't that bad, it's the going to bed about 8 or 9 at night part that kind of sucks.

[albear]

Yeah, kind of makes me appreciate my working hours now.

I'm only up at 7.40 starting work at 9, finish at 5.30, so I can afford to go to bed at midnight.

[Aurora_Bell]

Ugg Adam, I used to work those kind of hours. I don't miss them one bit. I work 8:30-4:30 mon to Thurs and on Fridays I am off at 1pm. I loveeeee it.

[albear]

Lucky for some ;)

[Just Looking]

The thread is alive again. :) I finished up the job I was working on Friday, and in a couple of weeks I am going to be doing consulting work for my old firm. They pretty much have me traveling for the rest of the year, with a couple of weeks at home here and there. I can also come home on weekends or John can fly to wherever I am.

I'm lucky to have a couple of weeks off. I took a bad fall last week while I was out running. I'm hurting - badly sprained right ankle, skinned up left knee and elbow. I would have been better off if all the injuries were on the same side. :o

Bear, what do you do now? Will you be back in school or looking for a new job? Adam, I bet the overtime is nice, but those are rough hours. Bella, those are great hours. That makes for a nice weekend. :)

[albear]

Hi J-lo

I imagine that must be rough (on both of you) traveling all over the place, never really staying anywhere constantly.

That does sound like a nasty fall, do you think you'll have recovered by the time they want you back at work?

Ive been software testing for a year, but in about a month ill be heading back to University.

[Just Looking]

At least the travel will be interesting, and the work will be fun. I'll be in Los Angeles for 2-3 weeks, home for a couple of weeks, then off to Spain for a month, then home for a couple of weeks, and then to Florida for a month, and I'll get home a few days before Christmas. This year is going to go so fast. After Christmas, they are going to have me stay home and work on audits where I live.

I hope I'm back to normal by next week. It's much better already than when I fell, but still pretty sore. It was such a dumb mistake! I need to pay better attention. I could have so easily avoided falling.

Are you studying Computer Sciences? When do you plan to graduate?

[Aurora_Bell]

Good stuff Jlo, I would love to be able to travel. Next summer I am going to Alberta for 2 weeks, and then 2 summers after that we are flying to Ireland! I am very excited about both. I hae never been to Ireland, but I can only imagine how gorgeous it is!
