Oh great. Knock on the door this morning. The superintendant delivering a rent increase notice for June 1. It's going up 25 dollars which isn't that bad really but with a new building owner i expect it will go up every year. I've been spoiled because the prior owners didn't do that. Ah well. Welcome to the real world.

Federal election today, I must remember to vote. Also want to scout for a new bed, just to see what kind of prices there are and also find out if they will take the old one unless anyone out there wants a used double box spring and mattress. It's not in too bad shape, i just want a queen size set. I'll sell it cheap.

Thought the tv wasn't working this morning. The picture was all off and i pushed buttons and settings, including the one i thought was the problem and still no picture, just sound. But i did fix it. The universal remote runs the tv, vcr and digital box but if you try to change the channel when it's set to the tv rather than the digital box, the picture goes all funny. That's because with a digital box, the tv itself has to stay on channel 4, you change the channel on the digital tuner instead. Anyway all sorted.

I can be off for the five days this week for "compassionate leave" and i know i'll take a few days off to help Mom with errands and things. Part of me thinks i might go back to work on Thursday but the other part says it wouldn't hurt to get a good rest. Rest will probably win out.

I can only imagine the rollercoaster it's been for the last year. I'd take the full 5 days if you're entitled to them.

oooh that kitty looks like my fonz:)

and he's right. Take the 5 days Diane..
Take advantage of the 5 days that theyre giving you
You need the rest.*hug

That's Tam, the good kitty. This icon is Tim, the bad kitty. Both are compliments of

_aod

Now that I think about it, 5 days sounds very generous. Any company I've ever worked for only gave 3 days.

The rest will be good, and you deserve it.

Our contract varies the time depending on the relationship to the one that dies. I could have had 3 when my grandfather (step) died, or an uncle/aunt but nothing for a cousin! Immediate family/spouse or spouse's immediate is allowed 5 days.

sounds like a great contract you have. It's awesome they give you that much time if you need it.

OHmygod..LOLOL
ok
fonz resembles Tim, The Bad Kitty.
*squint*
actually, I have days when *I* resemble tim, too.
*snort*
ang, rocks:)

Acutally both cats are almost identical, in appearance only. Two totally different personalities.

If it's ok, I'm adding you to my friends list.

yippee!
that'd be great!
ditto:)

Can't you connect your digibox via SCART or component video? That's what I do - it gives a much better picture.

I could if i knew what that meant lol my tv is not stereo though and the picture is fine normally. Well it could be better but i'm not getting a new telly until the old one blows up lol

I agree - take the 5 days and be good to yourself. :)
Also, how is Graham doing with the computer hookup? I keep expecting to see a funny entry from him :)

Still no joy there. I don't know what BT is trying to do. they keep calling him and asking if it's working yet but it's not. I hope they don't try to charge him for the almost two weeks of non-service.
