cdexchange Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Now I'm just waiting with anticipation until later this evening when my dad gets to open his b-day / Father's day gift from my brother and I. We got him a gift certificate for two to take a hot air balloon ride over Letchworth State Park. :) Awesome. We bought my Dad the same thing a couple years ago and he absolutely LOVED it. :thumbsup: Quote
biodork Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Awesome. We bought my Dad the same thing a couple years ago and he absolutely LOVED it. :thumbsup: Good to hear! I'm kind of jealous, actually... I've been on balloon rides in AZ before (definitely awesome), but I still haven't been to Letchworth and it looks beautiful. Quote
spndnchz Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 The new NHL CBA is out. All 540 pages. Chz, you've got some reading to do... Quote
X. Benedict Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 The new NHL CBA is out. All 540 pages. Chz, you've got some reading to do... Is there a link? Ah never-mind.....they'll probably change it with another lockout before I figure it out. Quote
biodork Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 I haven't gotten the "official" word from HR yet, but my boss told me on Wed. that our department approved a 10% raise for me, effective July 1. :D After the nonsense at my annual review I really wasn't expecting anything, so I'm pretty floored that he actually pushed to get this done.

Weave Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 My wife, who stopped working when our son was born and went back part time about 4 years ago found out today she is getting a full time position and promotion. She's got mixed feelings about going back to 40hrs per week but I'm ecstatic. I took a bit of a paycut with my last job. This gets us even again. Quote

biodork Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 I got carded last night at dinner for the first time in a while. :) Quote
spndnchz Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Taste of Country tonight. Looking forward to seeing Sheryl Crow for the first time. Hopefully no rain. I wonder if I'll see Cody Hodgson again? Quote
Weave Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Spent the morning fishing at Point Breeze Lake Ontario. Couldn't ask for a better morning weather-wise. And the smallmouth bass were cooperating. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 The girl got a job, she starts Monday. I am extremely happy for her. Quote
biodork Posted June 21, 2013 Report Posted June 21, 2013 Why, it's graduation day. The girl got a job, she starts Monday. I am extremely happy for her. Congrats all around! Seems late for graduation, though... isn't that normally early June? For me: today is the first day of my boss's vacation, extending through all of next week. The stinky co-worker has been scarce while he "stays home writing" (yeah, right) and the other coworker is out as well, so I've got the place to myself. And the weather is beautiful here today. Bring on the weekend! Quote

darksabre Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Our plant is shut down and it's a veritable ghost town. Doing data entry all day in the air conditioning is a nice change of pace from sweating through my clothing for 8 hours so you people can have spaghetti sauce :P Quote
Weave Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Not so fantastic..... just found out an hour ago that a project we just started this morning needs to be shipped by noon Monday. I'll be working late. And probably tomorrow too. Oh, and it's our wedding anniversary tomorrow. :( Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 I like the soap operas on Telemundo. They come in handy sometimes. Is that the *Italiano Presents* network in your parts? Quote
