Emails with Steve

Last night the email count was 5 replys, finding out that our toast format has changed back to what we started with. The begining is the easy part, the ending has been found and looks good. Now we need the middle part (ie a story or two). Emails will continue, but on Friday, we will meet face to face to go over what will be said on the day of the toast.

My half day.

Today at work the computers systems kept on crashing. While on a call they would go down and then given a little time they were available again. Only to go down again. Thank god today was a half day for me. At lunch, I left leaving any system problem to be fixed (I hope) by Monday.

Moving out.

With a knock on the door, I found out that I get to move and be out by month end. They are remodeling my unit and the surrounding units. Good news is that I will not have to move that far. Over in B building they are finishing up some of the remodeling (ie new carpets, appliances, floors, etc.) and I will be moving in at the end of the month. On a side note there is the wedding at the end of the month. I am going to see about moving in on the next following weekend. The rent is higher, the location is good for the walk to work and the recent pay rase helps the the rase in rent.
