Vacation has started

Yeehah, I’m off the whole of next week all through Thanksgiving.  However, I will be going back to my office to pick up the free turkey on Tuesday.  Yep, the company is still giving out a free turkey for all of their employees.  THis freebee is just for this particular location in the US.  Plus I need to run up to the convenient store to pick up my car tabs.  I forgot to pick them up today.

So what am I gonna do for the whole week?  I’m going to work at Satay tomorrow and the rest of the week, I’m gonna sleep in, watch my movies, complete some of my projects and walk the woods.  Oh, and I will be meeting Nicole for a jalan-jalan session on Wednesday.  That would be fun.

And this blog will take a break too.  Unless I change my mind which is not uncommon.

So, TTFN – Ta Ta For Now and Happy Thanksgiving to you folks in the States.

I just got done ordering a new laptop for my coworker.  Her old faithful lappie died on her this last night when she brought it home to get some work done.  Once she got it started, the laptop konked out in a blink of an eye.  She came in today, IT folks tried to save it, but it was fruitless.  Me being the admin for the department has to order her a new lappie since her lappie was already 5 years old.   The IT folks said it is easier to get a new laptop rather than adding new laptop memory.  This is because her laptop is already old per se, IT folks rather have employees get a new one if their department has the budget for it.  Sigh, wish I can have a laptop myself, then I can work from home some day.

On my way home, I heard on the news that President Bush extended unemployment for another 7 weeks.  When I got home, DB asked me did I hear about the extension on unemployment the Prez extended.  I said yes for 7 weeks.  He said it is for 13 weeks.  I looked up this piece of new on the internet and can’t find any.  Oh well, whatever the extension is it will be a big help for us right now.  If not DB will have to look for jobs just like a coworker of mine out east looking for jobs in Manhattan.
