Flew back down to Oakland yesterday. Almost missed my connecting flight in Seattle. The flight into Seattle was delayed by an hour, eating into the 2 hour layover I had arranged to handle fun customs things. The customs was fun. I was behind a Kenyan woman and a Russian man neither spoke English and took a good 15-20 minutes to get processed. Then the border guard couldn’t find my TN extension saying that I was good until September 2008. If the border dude back in Montreal had stamped my paperwork back in October this would have been simple. By the time that my papers were in order the plane was boarding and I was on the other side of the airport. Three transfer trains later, several concered phone calls and some running up escalators and I arrived just in time to be the last person on the plane.

As for the back home stuff it was fun, if a lot of “When is the wedding? You’d better get planning.” from anyone and everyone that we talked to.

Man we’re both still freakin busy @ work. We went to the F’s work holiday party last night and it was fun. It was a lot more laid back than my company’s party. We’re flying back to the old country on Saturday for lots of fun in rain land.

“pictures later today” he says. 2 months later, still no pictures.

The fourth quater is always super busy time at work since budgets are ending and our sales team can get all sorts of super time critical projects that all need to be done “Right Now”. good times and lots of weekend work.

Hrmm since the last post I’ve gotten a decent raise, had my Grandfather have a scary coma-and-lung-problems-filled visit to the hospital, (he’s much much better now and back at home). Last night for fun, I fell down the stairs, while trying to see who was calling at 1am, doing a nice number on my ankle.

I also got engaged on November 26th. No date or anything like that set. Yes, yes, it’s about <insert word here> time etc..
