Moving Into May

May 4 Entries

If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time you’ll notice a distinct change. For some reason when I post my entries by E-mail Blogger scrambles the text changing the font, its colour and size. In attempting to correct these problems I appear to have upset my template and therefore to correct that problem I decided to change my template and in doing so lost my links. When I find the time I'll re-instate them. If I were an HTML whiz I could probably have cleaned up the template but as I m not this seems the path of least resistance. I tend to find the present format a better fit for my verbose writing style. If you've visited my Movie Blog I must apologize for the fact that I haven t made time to upload the usual covers.

This past one has been number 13 in my count-down of the last weeks of my working life. I have 145 days to go to the actual retirement day but I'll be taking my annual leave in those last weeks. I began this week attempting to assemble two new modular letter carrier cases. Part way through the second one I discovered there were 150 pieces missing; when I went online I discovered I'm only allowed to order 50 at one time. The case can’t be use without all the pieces. Retirement can’t come soon enough. Thursday I managed to pull off a breakfast for the entire office crew though someone else did most of the work. Friday I took off work early and had lunch with friends but ended up back at work fixing up a case. When you order in outside help count on it they will show up at the least convenient time. The guy finished repairing a case at 3:15 and only then could I start putting the new case plan into it. Retirement looks very good.

My friend claims the Clinton/Obama contest is a set piece designed to keep the Democrats in the public eye; that the backroom boys have already decided the outcome; and that the media are in on the joke. Guess I m going to have to wait until this fall to see the outcome with the rest of the world.

This part of the world has been enjoying a wave of cold air for the last week along with some much needed rain. Seeing a bit of sun tomorrow will not go amiss.
