BBQs Birthdays and Backshift

On June/2 I had the pleasure of celebrating Niko’s 35th birthday with her sister and niece from BC. It was a real treat to meet some of her family and find we have so much in common. Selena and Ryan (MY Ryan) hit it off quite well and chattered happily in one another’s company while they tended the BBQ. We watched Pirates of the Carribean 3 and loved every minute of it. Because of all the extra time off I had that week, I was even able to make a gluten-free chocolate cake, an egg-free chocolate cake and obtain a regular chocolate cake—all 3 with frosting! So everybody was able to enjoy cake after the BBQ.

I have been working the backshift supporting the outage/emergency line – grid sittin’. I like it a lot because it gives me time to read, learn, write, sketch, handsew, and try new things. It also gives me a lot more time off (because I work 12 hour shifts instead of 7) and every once in awhile I get a whole week off! Most important to me is the sweet silence. The call centre can be pretty hectic, loud and busy and I find it grating on the nerves.
* sigh * 2 more hours to this shift and then off til Wed!

Nothing is better than a good bbq to celebrate anything, I had to celebrate me buying one of the Buschbeck bbqs it is a really big bbq and was well worth the celebration, cooked meats and beer in the garden.
