Just a quick update

I was successful this weekend, again, in not turning on my work computer. Slowly but surly I have been able to dial back and get out of the work work work mentality. Things are slowing down a bit at work. Much of our responsibilities have already begun to be shipped overseas; India and China. They are throwing some, what amounts to 'busy work' our way but it is generally accepted that the new work that has been promised us has little chance of being funded to any significant level, if at all. We basically are marking time until the layoffs come through. Again, for now, I am safe. I start my new position within Nortel at the end of the month.

Not too much going on at home. The kids are winding down their school years. Bob is already back. He is working at the Bulls. No luck on another part time job though. Kyle finished his training at "Cold Stone Creamery" and last night was his first real shift serving customers. Tyler is getting into the swing of things at Harris Teeter (grocery store). His biggest challenge at work is remember all of the produce codes etc. He complains that it is boring when they are not busy and is pretty much spent when he gets home but overall seems to be doing well. Michelle is all signed up for middle school. She has her elementary school graduation coming up....

Karen bowled a 201 on Thursday. Her season high score. Her and her mom came in first place for the fist half of the season. They are ... well... not doing as well the second half. Perhaps Karen's High score will help.
