Just going into work and

back this week. Last night the project finished earlier at 7pm. I was home by 8. Next project next week sometime, Tuesday? 

Anne's out at Tim's getting us a treat and I'm working on some channel art for my You Tube channel. I'm trying to establish what my music channel is about. The heading will be Jim Shannon on sounds. With the Jim part kind of tilted. Underneath: Noodling, i0s, messing about. Something like that. I discovered a online channel art creator: Pixlr and playing around with it.

This has got to be the most coolest month I've seen here in Alberta since 1982. At the moment its -1 but it feels like -6. Its overcast gloomy, Tomorrow we're supposed to be at +6 and +9 Saturday 👍 With all this we still have snow on the ground in spots. Especially out behind us:

 

Anne's brought us out one of Tim's Turkey club and it was surprisingly good. She brought me back a Boston Cream and a coffee to have for later. Finally i have a few hours to myself. Anyway, that's about all for now.  

Our local weather has been

Spring like with a light rain and snow mix in the evening and its been cold over the last few days. Its been about 4-9 degrees. We don't get the teaming rain like we used to around here for this time of year.

I was lucky to get my #5 bus just after the shorty (short bus) and into the job shortly before 10am. A brief kick-off and surprise Joyce showed up. It meant I get a ride home! Wu who. I actually had a decent day as well getting 4 confirms and 1 online. I'm concerned about after May 15th when this job runs out of work, because my market research job for this month has been in a state of suspended animation for this month. They've got a few projects coming up hopefully next week. What I'm hoping for is my market research job lasting until the end of June. Then after the market research job breaks for the summer I've got a lead on another possible job. A colleague I've been working with since the year 2000 is going over there but its all the way out by Direct buy. He worked there as well a year before I did. Its a long way out but I only need the job until September. Anyway, after work, Joyce drove me home under cold Edmonton skies. Heading East along 129th I noticed Rob had a bit of a crew working. I went to the blood pressure machine after Joyce dropped me off at Shoppers and I got a reading. No paper in the machine to print off a copy so I took a photo. I got home before 3pm. Anne made us a nice lunch before she headed out to her job. I had the evening to myself at last. Let the weekend begin. 

The Valley line officially got underway Friday. There's still preliminary work to be done but that's been more or less ongoing now for awhile. The Cloverdale footbridge will be closed in July. There's a small NIMBY group opposed to this but they don't matter in the scheme of things to come. My concern with these "Save our footbridge" people is that they will somehow get a 11th hour court injunction to stall this line at the last minute. These protestors are doing this more of a stunt then anything else. Anyway I'm enjoying my first coffee and my weekend, that's all for now.
