I was able to

call the receptionist to get a form for my vacation pay. I’ll fill it out for Rob so he can put it on for Next weeks pay period. Anne left for her 8 hours and I locked everything up for my 4 hours.

Weather wise it was nice going in +3C. Weird clouds in the West, almost Spring like. I felt good going in. I got my dialer and I had a good crew to work with. I was getting a few CC’s as well and I had I think about $400 by break. Bud got the first $20 bonus. I moved up to JT’s dialer and Still getting CC’s I ended up with $735 and the 2nd half $20 bonus. That was a good night going in. That bonus if I get it will be on my vacation pay bonus.

I was feeling good leaving out of there making sure Moe got my bonus in. Good stuff. I had a chat with one of the guys I sat with (Peter) in the 2nd half waiting for my train home. I got a bit of reading in from FF. Just as I was pulling in so was my #183. I got that home and relaxed the evening. Anne called at 10pm and I had some ravioli she fixed up for me and fed Boots and she came in about 12:30. It gave me a break as well.

My wife made a platter for us of sausage, crackers, cheeses, olives type thing to go along with out wine. I’ll take my insulin, we’ll listen to a bit of Coast and we’ll pass out.

I’m really struggling with one of the stories in FF by Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper. “The terror bard.” This is I think one of the first stories I’ve read that is co authored. I’ve never read any Larry Niven but I have one of his books co authored with Brenda Cooper. This story was really hard to follow. And I almost felt like skipping it for the next story. So far out of 10 stories in this anthology this was one of 2 that I didn’t like. I am totally board with it. I‘m hoping the novel will be better. So far I’ve enjoyed only 2 of the stories. This anthology is turning out to be mediocre at best, almost a waste of time. I’m not going to give up on it. I’m about half way through it but this story “The terror bard,” uggh.

Anyway Bloggers, that’s all for now
