The Cheese Museum And More

My trip to Canada was uneventful, greatfully.

We did pass a sign about a Cheese museum, I will have to stop some time to see what is exactly in a cheese museum.

I learned more about the person I went with then one should ever know about a coworker. I learned the man has had 3 heart attacks, epilepsy, man breasts and it shooting blanks.

Yea, um, yea. Ick.

Got to beat one supplier up, so it wasn't all that bad. We worked from sun up to sun down, makes for a long day and a cranky quality weenie.

Tomorrow I get to fly to Minneapolis and then drive to River Falls, Wisconsin and then turn around later, drive back to Minneapolis to fly home and go to work the next day. It's going to be a loooong day. I think it may call for leaving early on Friday.

I get election day off (without pay) and the Monday after Veterans Day (again, without pay), or known as around here, the day when hunting season begins.

It sucks not getting paid, but my contract firm is cheap and gives you so many days off a year, which is suppose to cover Holidays, sick days and vacation time. But not enough to actually cover all those days, so you have to pick which ones you want to get paid for. And people wonder why I didn't want to go contract again.

Yay, hunting season!

And you know something? I know a place where you can buy some really good, really BIG headphones to plug into, well, your pocket if you like. Makes for much more pleasant car trip (yuck!)

As for the contracting, I just got half an offer for a 6-month contract job. I'm just not sure I want to deal with contracting again, especially knowing it's a 6-month deal so I'd have to start looking for the next job as soon as I started this one...
