Okay, it has been a busy week and I have totally fallen behind again. I have been doing a fair amount of posting to my other blog sites so go and look at them if you think that I haven’t been writing anything recently.

I had to be up early this morning and off to Perry to work for a couple of hours. I took my new Samsung Yepp with me and listened to a few hous of David McCullough’s “1776” while I was working. I really liked his last book, “John Adams”, and this was the follow up to it. He reads them himself and he is very good. He used to be the host of “The American Experience” on PBS, which I used to watch sometimes.

I was supposed to be having lunch with Craig today up at his house in North Greece. I made it up to the exit off of US390 when he called me and said that his wife was in the hospital. So I turned around on Latta Rd. and drove down to the hospital to meet Eric for lunch. We went over to Aja Noodle in Brighton’s Twelve Corners. Boy that place is good. It was packed today. Almost no tables were available.

After lunch, I went back to Geneseo. Jocelyn was supposed to have come over today to study with Min for the A+ exam but she never ended up showing up. So Andy, Min and I ended up playing a couple of practice games of AoE2. It was really frustrating though, because the phone kept ringing the entire time and we could never get going on the game.

At 6:15, dad came over with Oreo and he and I went over to the Omega Grill and got some dinner. He was in the mood for a Friday Night Fish Fry. They were packed to capacity as well. Just must be a busy day for restaurants.

After dinner, I came home and we played AoE2 until around 12:30. Oreo is spending the night tonight. We are very excited.

Mary was supposed to come over after work around 3:00 today but ended up getting stuck at work until after 6:00. She has been working mad hours recently. They are really short people over there and they have been installing a new computer system over there so she has been extra busy dealing with all of the training involved with that and the conversion of the old system into the new one.

Mary made it over around 6:30 and said that she had talked to the general manager about Dominica and that she should go over right now to see about work. Min had interviewed with this manager before when she had taken the job at the Fairfield late last year. She had interviewed at the Country Inn and Suites at the same time with this manager but she had never called her back.

So she went into the hotel and came back half an hour later with a new job at the hotel. She is doing the swing shift that Mary has been doing but they are arranging the schedule so that Min can work two sixteen hour doubles two days in a row so that she gets her entire week over and done with in just two days. She will probably work Mondays and Tuesday. That will work out extra well because those are the same nights that I am always working until mid-October. So that is a huge relief to have her working again. She starts on Monday afternoon training with Mary – which is funny because Min has four times the hotel experience that Mary does at this point.
