Pete Form Update

• I was in a movie that was filmed in Halifax, The Event, which was directed by Thom Fitzgerald of The Hanging Garden fame, and starred Don McKellar and Brent Carver. Woo! Anyway, I was just an extra, but I never saw the movie until last night. I bought a screener that was illegally on sale at the used bookstore down the street, and I actually made it into the movie! Well, the back of my head, due to the arrangement of the scene. Problem is I can't figure out how to get a proper screenshot yet, so I can't point myself out.
• I'm pleased to tell you that Operation Feline Collar Force was a success after phase 2. Phase 2 involves collars that can't be unbuckled by non-opposable-thumbed species. So now our cats are a little safer when they run out into the neighbourhood against our wishes.
• My company's new website has finally been launched. There was some difficulty with the firm hired to do it originally, leading to this insane "nine months after the company name change" launch timeframe. It's still buggy, so we're doing heavy beta testing internally while "soft-launching" to customers.
• I'm really not ready for a Monday yet.

Is it worth it? I hope so.

Selling a place and buying another place is super stressful. I don't recommend it.

I feel like our mortgage broker, our mortgage provider, and our two separate lawyers, all want information at the same time, even when that information is serially linked to other information we don't have yet but is also required. Proof that we have the money from the condo to buy the house, yet we're buying the house first (which is normal and common). Proof that we have insurance on the house we don't own yet, despite the insurer requiring electrical work, and the electrician requiring money we won't have until we finish with the condo, which doesn't happen until after we get the house, which means we need the insurance beforehand.

...and on and on it goes like that. Each problem is solvable, but they each individually and together make we want to jump out the GD window.

When we move home again, we are SO renting for the first segment of our time home. This cannot be worth the stress in the short term.
