I am now learning a scheme at my new office.  It is a monster, 827 items, half names, half numbers.  The SONIKS progam doesn't teach the scheme, so I have to take it home and learn (which I'm not supposed to) and make flash cards.  it is coming along nicely, but I am planning on at least four more weeks of daily training.

i got a flat tire today.  I should've bought new tires six months ago but didn't.  I guess I am lucky my tire didn't blow out sooner.    I guess I should probably save more money so it doesn't break the bank to buy one sixty dollar tire.

Well on thursday we find out the gender of the new baby.    I hope it is a girl, but a boy would be fun.  Till next time

Well, it's been a month at my new office. Time sure flies by.  I have learned that I always hate the first two weeks of any new job, regardless of what it is; and it still holds true here.  The first week was okay, and I hated the second week, but it has been good since then .  It isn't fun being a PTF again.....  but life goes on and I won't be a PTF forever.  I do have to learn the city scheme here....  Bleh.  I hate learning schemes.  it isn't any easier the second time around. 

My daughter is getting big, and we will find out what the gender of baby #2 in a few weeks.  My wife is happier here.  Life is still a challenge but with a happier wife, life is better than it was.

Happy Memorial day.  I found out recently that my 78 year old grandfather has prostate cancer.  He thinks he has less than one year to live.  He's in pretty good spirits though.  He has a pHd in agriculture, so he looks at everything from a scientific point of view.  He's very matter of fact about the whole situation. He and his wife have accepted it and are just trying to enjoy the remaining time.   It is sad for me... my other grandfather died from prostate cancer.  It was really hard to watch him deteriorate, it will be hard to watch it again. 

Till next time,

Jared
