What's Up?
So these past few weeks have been quite a busy time. For those who might not know, I was recently hired by a small Telecom business who install business telephone systems and newer VoIP systems.
I've been there about three weeks now and I'm really enjoying the work, despite the impressive amount of technical information I have to absorb in a short period of time.
A large part of the job is mobile and at many different sites and business throughout the lower mainland so I went out and bought a new car.
For the first few months of 2008 I was driving and old beater, a 1989 Caprice which ran well, but cost me a fortune with these sky rocketing gas prices. So I've upgraded to a 2008 Yaris Hatchback, which supposedly gets about 50mpg on the highway!
Grams is still in the hospital, but the brace is off her leg and she is working daily at rehab trying to get walking and moving around again.
My friend Darryl turned in to a Civi last week, and my buddy Ralph from The Pas is now earning the big bucks with the oil boomers out in the Fort McMurray area.
This past weekend I took a drive with my parents up to Squamish more to just try out my new car than anything else. It's been years since I had passed through that way and it's growing like a weed, with most of the chain stores now moved in. Too bad it was the wrong time of the year to see the Eagles down the road in Brackendale but we still enjoyed the day out of the city.
So I'm off to work (yes, it still sounds weird)...
