Tonight was bowling night for me. Boy, do I suck! I have been doing so poorly lately that my average has dropped about 3 pins in the last couple of weeks. This is awful and has to stop. I think I only bowled a 406 tonight- very poor. My dad must be regretting joinin our last place team since we never win!

I went to see Anick tonight. I have been doing well this week so far. I have lost about a pound or two, mostly because I haven't been a hog and I have been hitting the gym. But I was bad tonight because I had a Tony's pizza for supper and I didn't go to the gym because I had bowling and the nutritionist appointment. Like I have said before, two steps forward, one step back!

We have gotten some more snow. There are a couple of big storms rolling in. Only a couple of inches so far, but the roads are very icy since it was so warm the past couple of days. I am sure I wll be using the snowblower tomorrow morning. There is a storm a-brewin' outside now.

I heard this story on the news this morning where this woman hired a contractor to do some work in their house. When he tore out the wall he found $182,000 in bills from the 1930's. They said it would be worth over $500,000 today. The contractor claims that he should get to keep it because of the "finders, keepers" principle. I think that is total bullshit. The homeowners actually offered to give him 10% in the first place, but he thought he had the right to it all. He said they would never have found it if it wasn't for him. I don't care, I don't think he has any claim on it whatsoever. When they bought the house, they got everything that came with it. If he happened to find something when doing contracted work for them, he has no right to it (unless it was specifically laid out in his contract that he could). He should have taken the generous 10% and been happy for it. I am sure he will sue and it will be tied up in court and no one will get the money for a long time. And they will have to waste money paying for lawyers and everything. People will sue for anything these days, and that is just sad. He has no claim on it whatsoever, in my opinion.

We got a bit of a snow dump last night. We are expecting a couple more before week's end. I awoke early this morning to the phone ringing for Jaime getting called and told she had a two hour delay. When I had gone to bed last night, it didn't seem like much snow had fallen. But I got up and went outside anyway. There was not much accumulation, but it was warm out and the snow was wet. I imagine that made the roads pretty crappy out in Coventry, so that is why they had a delay. Again, the snowblower worked very well. That was a great purchase. I find it particularly effective for the end of the driveway where the city plows tend to create massive amounts of wet, packed, heavy snow that is a pain to shovel and impossible to drive through.

Today at work was one of those days where I can't believe the variety of different things I worked on. I had to keep switching gears. I guess it is a testament to my job that I have so many different things I am involved in. I started the day working a bit on some of the VBA programming learning with the new books I got, then I had to conduct a job interview for an hourly employee. I worked on a couple of other unrelated projects after that, then had meetings in the afternoon with a couple other work teams. I had to field a couple of requests for help on some Excel spreadsheets for a couple of folks, and was also asked to create a logo for a sticker. Yesterday was just as varied. It keeps things interesting, but it is tiring to switch back and forth so much. I also lament the fact that I really can't go much into depth on any one task without being interrupted and having to handle other things. Multi-tasking can be a good thing, but it can also lead to lower performance on any individual task, at least for me.
