Over A Month Later...

Well, well, well, where to start? Well I promise Jilly that I would do a new posting so she could leave an other comment and after reading my old posting, there has been a lot on the go since then. There is also for you Bambrick, after reading you previous comment as well.

Lets start with work, so I can comment on it and leave it as is. The last email was about all that overtime I did that one week and I thought after that I would never do overtime again. However, Convergys decided to bring some incentives because there wasn't enough people signing up for overtime where we are pretty much sort staff. The incentives was that if you work two hours overtime during the week, they would give you a $20.00 gift certificate to either Tim Horton's, Sobey's, Wal-Mart, and Future Shop. Also, if you worked 24 hours of overtime in the month of July, they would give you two days of with pay. Just to cut this portion short, I will have my two days off and will be getting $260.00 worth of gift certificates to Future Shop on August twentieth (getting a nice MP3 player). Oh yeah, the best thing is, you still get paid time and a half for doing overtime as well. Other than that, work is the same old stuff.

Now there has been a lot of things happening in the last month. My brother Leon came down at the beginning of the month of July for almost two weeks and it was definitely a good time. I don't get to see him very often during the year, so having him here for a few weeks was great. We went drinking about one or two or three or who knows how many times? He got to go to the driving range with Tammy's brother-in-law one evening in which he had a blast. We went to see the Fantastic Four when it first came out because the both of us are big Marvel fans, not from the magazines though, from the cartoons. Other than that, we chilled out a lot and I showed him the sights of course around St. John's. Tiffany and him got along and my brother even told me I was not to let this one go. Smiles all around. On the same topic of my bro though, a week later when he went back to Labrador, he was in a serious car accident on the Trans Labrador Highway. He was in Labrador City Hospital and Quebec City Hospital the same weekend where he was badly beat up. Pretty much, he had to get surgery done on his ear, he had cuts and bruises all over, he got a fracture rib, and during the time a puncture lung. However, he pulled through the whole ordeal and now is home doing a lot better and probably still recovering. Also this month, I had a friend moved in for 10 days, in which she is still here tell mid-way this week because she need a place for her and her friend Diana to stay, where she got into a fight with her old roomie/landlord over something that shouldn't even been done in the first place. However, that is Shannon's business and I hated seeing a good friend down, so I asked Tammy to see if she could move in for a bit. Great having her around though, cheesecake and cookies, can't go wrong with that. During her stay here, a good friend of mine from Acadia Geology was down for a couple of days for work and it was his first time in Newfoundland. His name is Jay and I honestly don't think we stopped the whole weekend. Showed him the sights and stuff as well and then took the boy to George Street Festival. It was a crazy time that night for sure.

Then comes the past weekend in which deserves its own paragraph because it was the best weekend of the summer I had. Friday, Tiffany and I went on a road trip to her home town of Grand Bank because there was a festival going on called Grand Bank Day. I wonder why Churchill Falls, don't have a Churchill Falls Day because it's seems like every community in this region has one? I think it's just an excuse to be able to drink on the streets, hahaha... So on Friday, when we got there, I got a little tour of the place and got to meet some of her family members as well. I didn't say much because I was too shy of course. We also went sight seeing until it was dark. That night we had Sharon's cheescake and it was really, really good stuff and also had Audrey's French fries/Wedges with Gravey and Dressing and that good shit as well. That night we stayed home and relaxed and played some board games, in which I lost every game. I'll be a man and admit to the losts. Saturday, we slept in until noon and I think it was the first time we ever slept that long. After we woke up, we went to Sharon's again and had the amazing club sandwiches that they make there, with a pasta salad. Guess what I had for desert? Cheesecake again. After we had something to eat, we decided to take a trip around what's called the "boot". It's basically the trip around the whole Burin Peninsula. Went to a miner's museum in St. Lawrence and went to a place called Chambers Cover and it was really foggy out there, but lots of fun. Saturday, was also Grand Bank Day, so when we got back from the trip, we went to Tiffany's friend Jilly's boyfriend place. Confused? It was a good time for sure and then went to the water front and Jason Greely was playing. Whoever does not know who he is, keep it that way, hahaha... Yesterday morning, we got up and had some breakfast at Sharon's and you guesses it, I had more cheescake. Hmmmmm... We then went to Fortune Head Ecological Reserve where supposively there are fossils all over the place, but I did not find any. I could of taken out the big guns, but decided to leave the cliff in tact for once in my life. We went to one of Tiffany's nans for dinner and then came back to St. John's to end off am amazing weekend.

As you can tell, Tiffany and I are still going strong and I think I did a lot of smiling over the weekend, but I guess you would have to ask her to confirm that. As times goes on, it seems like things are just getting better and better with us and I really hope it stays that way. I don't need to comment in how amazing she is because you heard it all before.

I will post pictures on my MSN Space later as well.
