Bill & Clare

Some rather big news for Bill and I.  We’re moving again!  I just accepted a job in Perth, still with Hydro One.  My start date is January 8.  It will be good to be closer to the family again!

Hey Ho, all…. I haven’t been posting because my life seems a bit mundane these days.  I took a 3 day training course in Brampton last week for a new system we’ll be using at work.  Information overload!  Bill and I tried to visit Dennis & Trudy in Tillsonburg after the first day’s session, but after driving for an hour, the traffic came to a standstill.  It was foggy and there was an accident.  Bill (Mr. Patience) took the first exit off and we ended up on some back roads with a whole convoy of cars following us.  He then handed me the map and said that I should find us a good detour route.  Does he know who he’s talking to??  There weren’t even any signs naming these dirt roads. I’m not exactly a human GPS as most of you know. We did eventually find our way back to the 401, and it was still at a standstill, so we turned around and came back to Brampton.  Trudy was not happy with that decision, but we’ll try again another day.

Last night there were a lot of power outages in the area.  I worked the night shift (midnight to 8:00 am) to help with the dispatching and tracking.  I’m wondering if any of you in Eastern Ontario were without power this weekend? 

I’ll leave you with some holiday advice that I got today from my 3 year old nephew Nathan.  “Ho, ho, hold the payments!” 

I’m posting this picture of Laura and Bill from last summer just because I think it’s cute.
