Did You Know . .

That whenever they give the temperature on weather reports, it is always in the shade? I took this thermometer to the beach and this is what I got. True, I’m cheating a little by putting it on something black, but it is pretty hot!

Weekly Weekend Report

I had a pretty good weekend. Friday I went to Cayman Brac for an outside broadcast that went fairly well. Came back Saturday. No free time, just all work mostly.

Sunday I got called in because of problems with the newsroom computer. It needed a new power supply.

Other than that The OI Girl and I just hung out and didn’t do much all weekend.

Missed my own birthday!

I missed my own birthday!, well, my blogs birthday. April 17 was three years! In the beginning of April I was reminding myself to not miss it, but I did, fergot all about it!

I’m glad it’s Friday, tonight I’m going to Cayman Brac for a Saturday broadcast. I want to go to the airport now, I’d rather wait there than here. (I’m at work, waiting to go in about 45 minutes)

Hopefully I’ll be diving Sunday, back here.

Busy week

Yesterday I was so busy I didn’t have time to unpack my laptop, let alone post or email. Today will be the same, except I am taking time to post. The house is coming along, they finished the tile yesterday and hopefully the cabinets and counters will go in before the end of the week. The railings and doors are on and it looks almost done!!

The house, with railings and doors

The kitchen, with tile started.

No Seatbelt

Remember way back when I got pulled over for no seatbelt? Well, Four months later, I got the summons for it Sunday before last and went to court today.
I got a $75 fine, as did everybody. The circumstances didn’t matter. They should just let us mail in the money.

Yesterdays News:

Computer and consumer electronics giant Apple announced fiscal second-quarter sales and profits on Wednesday that beat Wall Street’s expectations thanks to a 51% increase in Macintosh sales.

You wanna know why? ‘Cause Windows Vista SUCKs! It is non-usable and Microsoft knows it, that’s why they quit selling XP. If Vista was any good, Microsoft could offer both, and people would choose Vista. But since Vista SUCKS, Microsoft quit selling XP, trying to force people to use Vista.
But they aren’t, they’re buying Macs.
I put XP on my new computer that had Vista on it. Vista was non-usable, also I was told it is NOT approved for business use.

I don’t know anybody who likes Vista. I’ve been looking at Apple notebooks too. And if I leave PC’s, I’ll never go back.

Broke Payday

Today is payday, but I’m broke, because I still have to pay rent, ($1300) and mortgage ($2200). I have to pay both for 3 months, and this is the second month of it.

On the upside, my boss told me day-before-yesterday that I need to take more vacation, because I have a lot that has to be used by the end of the year. On the downside, I can’t afford it.

But life is good. The weather is great, and I can go to the beach and diving.

Please DON'T apply for my job

In the Cayman Islands, when an expats work permit comes up for renewal, the company must advertise the post and give it to any qualified Caymanian. It is a good law, but I get really nervous when they advertise my post. I can only hope that nobody applies.

It was an OK weekend, the only thing wrong is that the OI Girl has the cold that’s been going around here.
Today I’m busy at work.
Another Monday
