This is one of my

favorite days of the year because Halloween is so fun. Lots of Goblins, witches, spooky stuff. Its fun for trick or treaters and adult kids alike. Halloween weekend is mostly for the adult kids but to day is for the youngsters. I like it because I have a day off. They don't have a day off at the competition or so the supervisor told me when we met by accident last night. I'm still on amicable terms with the people there when the odd time I meet them but they wouldn't tell me what project they are currently doing anymore what I'd tell them what we're currently doing. I mentioned we did election calls but that was history and that's all she got out of me. However though, they are working tonight, and I'm having a night off. Nothing scary about that.

We got a bit of snow this morning but its not staying on the ground. Anne is working tonight so its the busiest time of the year. She's going to try and order Maximus pizza for us from work but if she can't, I've got to call before they send their driver home. Anne is going to call me about it on her break.

Telus is digging things up out by the sidewalk. I think they are digging a trench parallel to the sidewalk, with lines to individual units for their "Pure fiber" optic lines. I'm hoping we can get this service here because this is a older building.  

So yesterday, I put my 6 hours in and I'm in 3-9 again and I'm off for Thursday because of Lodge and I can go do my thing with Service Canada etc. This is a nice break to have but I'm also Friday 3-9 and Saturday 10-3 but I'm saving up for a black Friday computer Our TV is on for the birds/cats (weather channel) as they've been having spooky Halloween theme music and sound affects all day, creaking doors, evil laughter, occasional screams, no cats yet but typical Halloween sounds, love it. Anyway, Happy Halloween everyone, that's all for now.

My bus arrived on time

yesterday to Clareview station and to Central and upstairs to Starbucks to get my coffee but there was a line up. So much for that. I got the early #5 and in the office at 1pm with a half hour to spare. The weather is very mild for this time of year. Because nobody in the office worked the last 5 Monday's, nobody got the stat pay. I still got a decent pay cheque. I got nowhere on the clean up portion of the last project for the first half. I felt I did a lot better on the 2nd portion. I was surprised to learn I'm not on the schedule for next Saturday. Super doesn't know why. Perhaps it was a oversight by the boss thinking I've been off for every Saturday. The weather was relatively mild despite the rain we had about 5pm. On my way to my bank walking past the old Paramount theatre there was a huge line up the likes I haven't seen since the first Batman movie. Lots of people were in costume for the "haunted house" event. A developer designed the interior to make it like a "haunted house" set. I did my banking and waited for my Clareview train. Lots people in costume downtown. I love Halloween week and the month of October especially. It was a surprised to meet Anne on the train coming home. We had a nice chat. I think before I go out and shop for any gear I'm going to find out what's going on with my Saturday shift. I might know more about this tomorrow when I'm in at 10am. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Its Halloween

and by this time tomorrow (Saturday) it's all over.

We got another notice under our door the other day and the window installers are finally going to install the new windows Tuesday. Where were they last week when the weather was warmer?

I'm up out of here to pick up my "Night Lords" book on the way to work and later to call Chapters (Northgate) to see if they have the Kobo Aura covers. I want the green cover. On Saturday on my day off I'm getting a memory card for my Kobo reader at Future shop across the street then to Northgate/Chapters to get the cover and a gift card to download "Legion" and "Battle for the Abyss" Horus Heresy the next 2 books in the series. Maybe I can download them in the store. Then to Wendy's for a bite to eat and the #11 to Londonderry (Buds) for a beer, a bag of chips at the Dollarrama and then home on the same #11 to have a nap and get ready to watch the Canuck/Oiler's game.

Sunday I'm back at it for 7.5 hours. I just don't know what project I'm going to be on yet and that's my weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

For late October we're getting some really nice weather even though

its only +6 or so, its still pretty nice out there. Even for this time of night.

It's officially Halloween and Anne carved out her pumpkin for the year. It's probably going to be up for the whole weekend. Something isn't quite right with my iPad camera. It seems the photo's are a bit grainy.

I decided once I get my guitar in tune and the strings replaced. Also get some advice on how to tune it, I'm going to use my guitar for my guitar sound. There's a novel concept. I'm also going to upgrade my laptop for that SSHD drive but that's in the new year. I'm just playing power chords anyway and that's easy to do. It's not for performance it's just to add to the tone I need. At the moment I don't need a $1,000 computer system.

If I can execute my part ok next Thursday I've got the Master's job in my Lodge. I know my material well enough I can open and close, no problem. The close part is about 80% but I've got the weekend.

Today I'm leaving out of here a bit early because we're having our staff appreciation day at 2pm. The boss is buying pizza for the staff, and it's a paid pizza party. It's a nice gesture Anyway, that's about all for now.

11:25am 
I didn't get much sleep overnight, mainly because unknown to me at the time, my blood sugars were way up there. Or I could "feel them" up there. I just checked and they're at 13.4. That's pretty high. One of the main culprits that increases my blood sugar levels is ketchup. Last night though we had my wife's home made perogies and one of those kielbasa cheese filled sausages, which I like so much.

At the moment it's very nice outside with Sunlight poking through various cloud. It's very mild outside with the high humidity at 0ver 70% even makes a low temperature feel warm. I could handle November like this but it's very dry out there. Or High is expected to be about +10 today.

I've got about 45 minutes before my bath and a shave and pack up to leave out of here at 1pm. Since it takes me a hour to get anywhere in this City. Anyway, that's about all for now.
