Laid Off

How's your summer going? Having fun? We are too. We got back from Germany on the 4th of August and I was just into my first day back when I was laid off. Not a huge surprise and I have to say I am more relieved than distressed. The EDS work environment is pretty bad and has been that way for quite some time. The veiled threat of job loss has been hung over everyone's head for some time so I'm glad to be out. Now I'm just waiting for the HR people to get the check in the mail.

He replies, 'Put a new battery in your hearing aid.

Memories of the Great Bizzard of 2008

This was taken just after the car was dug out of the snow drift. The guys in the driveway were a couple of guys with a gas can and a snowblower who made their way up the road clearing driveways for $25 each. Money well spent!

MCSE 2003!!

Done at last! I wrapped up my upgrade certification exams this morning with a 95%. Now I can catch up on the fun stuff. :)

MCSA 2003

I passed another certification exam on Tuesday. I've added Microsoft Certified System Administrator on Windows 2003 to my transcript. One more to go before March 31st and then I'll be onto my German lessons. Oh, and we bought our tickets to Germany. :)

Winter Hits the Pass....HARD!!

Snow started to come on Saturday night and is still falling....well more blowing now than anything. But as you can see it's cold and there is a ton of the white stuff. Should be awsome snowboarding...once it warms up!

Happy 1st Birthday Miles!

Miles had a fun first birthday! He got some fun toys and a cozy new balaclava from his Grandma and a yummy cake that he jumped right into.
