Well, it’s 6:30 and we’ve had less than 10 trick-or-treaters come by. I’m a little disappointed. However, we do have some awesome pumpkins out there. Amber saw a picture of an E.T. pumpkin online and wanted to do it. We couldn’t find a real pattern, so I took a picture and manipulated it until it would work. I think it came out really great.

On second thought, we just had a group of 7. Maybe things are picking up.

Since we haven’t posted in 5 months, let’s continue with the theme of the last post. Prior to recent events, we burned a lot of money and time working outside. I think it’s paid off quite nicely; see for yourself.

After getting screwed over by her previous employer, Amber now has a temp job working for Fiskars. She’s updating a massive internal PowerPoint totalling 1700 slides. Her boss actually printed the thing off and it was about 3 inches thick (two slides per page). She’s also started as a Page at the Verona library. It’s incredibly exciting work – sorting and shelving books.

I don’t have anything too exciting to report. I’ve got a new customer at work and will be traveling to Seattle in about a week to help with a Go-Live. I haven’t traveled much for work, but every single time has been to Seattle. Sometime in December my team will finally get to move to a new building in Verona. My bowling average is up to 184. More next time…
