Well the cats are gone, but KS decided she needed a little critter to take care of so she went out and adopted a dog; Fred the Beagle. Fred is five years old and at one time was a stray. He is a very good dog though. He has yet in two weeks to make any sort of a mess and almost never barks. He is the mellowest dog I have ever seen, he just hangs out and seems happy to have people around who give him attention. We don’t know what his name originally was and he hasn’t caught on to the fact that when we say Fred we are talking to him but he will. It does cause some problems though as he doesn’t play fetch very well or listen when you get him out of the house. I guess that will all change eventually though.
KS is even trying to figure out what the dog needs to be for Halloween. I don’t know why the dog would need a costume but why not. My favorite idea so far was to dress him up like a cat. She wants to figure something out that they could do together. Apparently there are a lot of dog costumes online to choose from. Who would have thought? I tried talking her into a few idea’s but I guess she would rather make him cute rather that scary.
On the Job front I went to Lake Geneva WI last week for an all hands meeting. It was held at a beautiful resort, though I had to stay a couple of miles away at another hotel. It was a lot of fun to meet all the people in the Midwest who do the type of work I will be doing once I was staffed. I also made a few good connections so that was fun. I was sick the first night so after a long day of meetings I didn’t have the energy for that night’s company entertainment. I was told they had a mock casino, a dance club, and mellow café set up for everyone. Oh well next year.
Yesterday I found out that I have finally been proposed on a project. Though this may not come to anything it was great news because it means the staffing people haven’t forgotten about me! The project would be in Ohio so that isn’t the most exciting place. It would also take ½ a day to get there and require flying a puddle jumper from Detroit. The good news about the location is it would put me in a good location to go anywhere on the East Cost as alternate travel. So I would probably try to get to New York, Boston, Baltimore, DC, and maybe other places while I was on the project. It could last 11 months so I would have the time. Also because there is a connecting flight I should get status with the frequent flyer program in the first half of next year! Anyway here’s hoping.
