Updates

[c9]

It feels like it's been a million seconds since I last updated my blog, but in fact it's only been 288660. Phew.

• Friday: Vincent's interview in Toronto was delayed but very positive, and we suspect a job offer and a high-speed condo-polishing and sale is imminent. Anybody know how to do floor tiles? Do you want to come do some? We'll buy you pizza and beer. If you hurry, schnitzel (see next item).
  
  
• Also Friday: Oktoberfest! This year we went to Transylvania Club, which has more mature crowd and is a bit more traditional than last year's "go get drunk in an arena" approach. Far more entertaining. I won a stuffed owl, ate Oktoberfest sausage and all the schnitzel I could eat ("two"), and we watched hot male German teenagers perform a traditional Oktoberfest dance with each other and -- I swear I'm not making this up -- pick each other up and spank each other.
  
  
• Saturday: Port Credit! This year's Thanksgiving feast was held at a friend's place in Mississauga, in the company of many friends (new and old). Yummy! I didn't find the two-year-old reading The New Testament quite as jolting by the end of the evening either.
  
  
• Sunday: Home Hardware! We purchased some ██████ and some ██████, and then blatantly abused our friendship with Matt to get the painting done. Or mostly done. We ran out of tape, time, patience, and sunlight, so it's all first-coat done.
  
  
• Monday: Home Hardware, Canadian Tire, Rona, Zehr's, Chapters, Starbucks! Twice! Damn holiday. Since we are out of painter's tape, and we even used up the neighbours' tape, we got very little painting done today. But we have high hopes for tomorrow.
  

P.S. leapfish says "Hi!"

Vinny's interview: actuarial or epidemiological?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Closer to column B than column A.

but more importantly escape from KW?

[c9.livejournal.com]

That too.

Hi to V, and I send all the best luck I can on his job situation. :-) It's very exciting! :-)

And I hate painting. It always seems to take longer than it should. They make it look so easy on those DIY shows.

Wow -- that's big news! Pass on my congrats to Vinny!

I'm sending about 70% of my good-luck vibes Vin's way. The other 30% are earmarked for other things, and I couldn't get them on short notice.

Nice, send Vinny our congrats. So if he gets the job does that mean you will be moving to TO or will he be commuting?

Also, Vinny's blog was deleted?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he got tired of LJ. *shrug* I'm assuming you know us, which means you know how he can sometimes tire of something in an instant.

Commuting until we sell the condo and find a place in TO. What a fun next couple months it will be! :)

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

Sorry, that was me. I didn't even notice that I wasn't logged into LJ. I guess my cookie timed out or something.

Wow, big changes. So what about you, is there a TO branch or will you be then commuting from TO?

We have offices in 29 cities in Canada. Transferring will not be a problem, luckily. :)

With our new laxidazical shopping laws, Rememberance day is the only day stores have to close legally...I am bubbling with shopping enthusiasm...now though they are talking doing reduced hours on Saturdays to compensate being open on Sundays....*fackers*!!!
