The long overdue first post of 2007 is here. I could have posted earlier but the Christmas season was filled with work, and many other activities that have kept me extremely busy. Had a few unpleasant events over the holidays but now things are doin' alright.

Today I am sick, and I have been all week. By sick I mean I have a cold. Anyhoo, doesn't really help the fact that I have constant headache's and what not.

It has snowed! Snow really isn't much fun to work in. We had max two hours amount of work last night and that turned into five hours. You have to sweep every switch you need to go through. If you don't think that's bad, try shoveling your driveway 15 times. Plus, walking in the snow, very annoying. It's not like we have any foot paths to walk in. It looked like we were the first ones over to some parts of annacis since the snow had fallen so we were walking through fresh snow.

One more thing that has to do with the snow that makes me really mad is the lack of attention Richmond and Burnaby have put in to plowing their roads. Seriously, it really pisses me off!!! Last snow fall I noticed it too, at least for Richmond. I've been driving home through Hwy 91 and cutting over to the Oak Street Bridge on Hwy 99, and the roads are covered in freakin' snow!!! Come on!!! It's a Highway!!! Those are the places where their should be no snow!!! I would hate to see what the rest of Richmond looks like... I mean, Richmond is already full of terrible drivers as it is, but with snow? Whoa... Burnaby is just as bad though. Was driving along Marine Drive to get to work and Marine had no snow on it. As soon as I go over Boundary into Burnaby, the roads were covered with snow.

Anyhoo, there is my rage vent of the new year. I could rage about other stuff, but I have nothing in mind.

2007 isn't really that much different from 2006 yet. I still feel lost, dizzy, and confused for the most part. Other then that, I don't expect much from the first month of the year. February should be awesome though! Vacation?!? Woohoo! I have not had more then 3 days off since June, and I must say, I am truly looking forward to a break. Not just a break from work, but a break from life as I'll be taking off to Hawaii!!!! With Bill, but I think I may have posted about this before. If I haven't, ah well, now you know. I told Bill we must hit a spa! I feel like I'm 46, my back or knees or something is always soar. I don't think that's a good sign!

Anyhoo, before I jet over to Hawaii for 10 days, BNL is coming to town the night before I leave. I got front row seats so I'm looking forward to that too!

It's nice to look forward to things!

Like you imagined when you were young...
