Hot 'N Sticky..
Sheesh, when will this heatwave end? The central air has been running for over a week now, and fighting to stay ahead. 31 Degree days with the humidex in the 40's is getting tedious, especially when ones work vehicle is not A/C equipped.
Thankfully the storms rolling through tonight are supposed to usher in nicer (Cooler!) weather. I will wait to judge for my departure from the house tommorow morning.
Hopefully the weather holds, as I am scheduled to fly tommorow evening.
The VoIP is working nicely. Some minor quirks that my wife has noticed, but nothing that would really stop us from making the full switch. It is really great being able to pickup the phone and call anywhere in Canada or the USA knowing that the call is free.
I tried the "remote" feature today that allows me to access our VoIP service from any landline or cellphone. I dialed into the Toronto remote access number, input my voip and pin numbers, got a dialtone, and called Vancouver for free from my cellphone.
Heh.. I'm going to like this service.
If anyone reading my blog is considering signing up to the Primus VoIP service, let me know so I can "refer" you. I get $30 for the referral, you get $15 on your account for getting referred. It's a win-win situation.
Life, otherwise, goes on. We settled our contract with my employer, and I thankfully missed the strike-and-picket experience. Since we were voting for acceptance of the contract on Sunday, or to strike Monday morning, it was close. Our Toronto terminal actually voted the contract down. All the other terminals, mine included, voted for it, and outweighed them. Whew.
Thankfully the company offered what the union thought was fair, and it was all moot. Penion and benefits are better now. The $1.00/hr raise retroactive to March, as well as the $.49/year increase for the length of the contract was nice as well.
Apparently the Toronto terminal has a bunch of disgruntled employees, though....?
It's my fifth wedding anniversary on 2 days - Thursday June 16'th. My wife is expecting a ring. I won't say whether or not she's getting one here, as I have a sneaky suspicion she reads my blog entries while I'm at work.
I have a nice dinner planned however for Friday at a unique place...more about that after the fact as well, since it's going to be a bit of a surprise location wise, at least.
Since I have a Doctors appt in the morning, I'll probbaly just take the entire day off.
With any luck, it won't be 3 Trillion degrees by the end of the week.
