most likely my only post for november
Before articulating several random tidbits, let me preface by the fact that my choice to eventually post is not in any way coerced by the bullying attempts of Joanna. I must say, the threat to remove from her linkage is both empty (as I'm quite certain my handful of readers do not link here from her list) and starkly contrasted by the gracious policy employed by Mr. 94, who only deletes after a full calendar year of non-postage.1. Work is going well. I've had my first one-on-one sessions with each of my supervisors (2). I've made my first big mistake. I've had my first pervert call. I've had my first "let me talk to your supervisor" call. I'm less than a week away from my the end of my new hire probation period. It should be smooth sailing from here.
2. Night shift...slowly getting better, but still brutal at times. Most weeks I have one or two days functioning on 2-3 hours sleep. I'm hoping that come January, my shift will be earlier or my sleep will be that much more adjusted.
3. Apartment...every week I'm feeling more settled into my new space. Family & friends have been generous, and bargains seem to have been plentiful, so my wishlist for household items is dwindling. Still need to get a few areas organized, and I have little to nothing on the walls for decor. Yet.
4. Currently reading The Hiding Place, for the second or third time. I think Amsterdam is on my short list of places I most want to visit.
5. When it's slow at work and I don't feel like reading, sometimes I surf and I've been looking at various pysanky pics. Thinking I'd like to take it up again.
6. I'm on vacation! Booked two vacation days this week, so I'm off the next four days and heading to NS to help the rents look for some accommodations and visit with Gram. Should be a good time.
C'est tout pour maintenant. :)

"bullying of Joanna?" I don't think so. More like "incentives." You must be really upset at me to use my full name. I don't know that you've ever called me that. (And you don't even link to me). I suppose you're busy life allows for sloggage...., but, for real. throw us a bone.
Yay for vacation!
Ewh for pervert calls.
Ewh for night-shift.
Hooray for The Hiding Place!
Apartment=Peace.
Shame on Joanna for using links as a weapon. Mr. 94 sounds like a hero for us all
Who on earth is this "Mr. 94"? Is he good looking? Witty? Charming? Hmmm... :)
While I'm glad you've posted, Snaud, and it's great to READ about what you've been up to, my eyeballs are starving for a peek at your new place. Come on, come on, where are the promised pictures???
Amsterdam. I'm curious why you'd like to go. Too see the city? The history? I haven't been but I did just visit Aushwitz and well... let's just say I've had my fill of connecting with the depths of human capacity for horror. It was awful. Absolutely awful. Not a fun vacation.
NS- now that sounds wonderful! Say hello to the cold,crashing waves for me. And the rocks and cliffs. And the fog. Have fun!
When is everyone coming to DC to visit me???
Jo...no link to you is only an indication that I suck at customizing my blog. Every time I play with the links, things get messed up and it doesn't make sense to me why. So they are as they are.
Mr. 94 is the model citizen of blogdom.
Melissa...I'm waiting to finish organizing the dwindling clutter before posting pics. Patience, my friend. Amsterdam? Not one particular reason. Canadians are treated well in the Netherlands. I've never met a Dutchman I didn't like. I would like to visit the Beje because I think the Ten Booms were incredible. I'm not exactly drawn to revisit Nazi atrocities. Visiting the Holocaust museum in DC was anything but enjoyable, but I'm glad to have gone.
Speaking of DC...a visit...I've been tossing the idea around in my mind the last while. I'm not saying I can do it for sure, but if certain factors work out as I suspect they might, it's a possibility worth exploring. Perhaps sometime not too long after you're into your new place. We'll chat. :-)
I've finished The Hiding Place, and I think I can better articulate my motive for wanting to visit Amsterdam. As you described visiting Aushwitz as connecting with the depth of human capacity for horror, I see visiting the Beje as an opportunity to connect with the human capacity for courage. :-)
