Thanksgiving and other October events

First and foremost I do realize it's been a long time since my last post...oh well!

I have started my new job and am enjoying it so far. A common phrase from me these days is that I'm living the dream of working less for more money. I'm sure that won't last long as I get more into the job, used to my various tasks and pick up more work. For now though I'm enjoying a bit of a break. The people I'm working for and with are very nice and I'm finding the transition very smooth. I'm enjoying working with Eunice again as that's how we met and our friendship got started. It also makes it a lot easier to start at a new company if you already know someone there. I've also had the opportunity of reconnection with some people from my last job and that's always nice. It's a very small professional world be you in oil and gas, or professional services.

I spent Thanksgiving up in Edmonton with the family and had some great food courtesy of my Dad. I really enjoyed wandering around the downtown farmers market and got a new toy for my cat which I'm sure she'll love and using this toy as a bribe should keep her from being displeased with me for awhile. Yes, the toy has catnip I am a dealer for my cats addictions and have no shame in that job.

I'm taking an intro course right now and finding it interesting....more or less. I think it's a good opportunity for me to remind myself what school's all about and the education mindset I'll need. Some of the units seem to have an inordinate amount of required reading but hey reading has never been a problem for me. Be it fiction or non.

Well, I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
