I’ve quit my job…

…but that’s not the whole story.

The job that I started back in March, which has lasted me this while, and has gotten me back into working, has ended. On my own fruition.

Why?

Because I’m starting a new, full-time job tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM.

To say that I’m a bit nervous right now is not a lie - I think the fact that I’ve actually known that I’m making this move for some three weeks now has been good, but also because of it, this has added to the bit of nerves about the whole situation.

However, I’ll get there and I’m sure I’ll fit into the situation right away.

Plus, I have a counselling appointment before I go off to work.

Of course, there is this minor potential hiccup:

Overnight: A chance of rain and snow between midnight and 3am, then snow. Low around 30. West wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Monday: Periods of snow before noon, then a chance of snow showers after 3pm. High near 39. West wind between 10 and 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

And I just got my car washed… ;)

Anyway, wish me luck, and I’ll (hopefully, if I’m not totally tuckered out tomorrow night) probably post a short update on the first day :)

Go out there and vote, y’all!

Well, that is if you haven’t already voted early. ;)

I’ve been busy the last couple of days with working on things around the house, plus organizing some new things in my life…including becoming very stiff from an exercise bike…I kinda feel like I broke myself, but I think that’s just my body actually adjusting to new movements that I haven’t done in ages. ;)

Anyway, today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for - especially those of us who have gotten a bit of election fatigue coming into the stretch run of the process - and I think it’s fair to say that even if you’ve been involved in political news, etc., that come Wednesday morning (assuming that there’s a result), there will be a lot of vacations in the TV news world ;)

The only thing that you need to remember is that this is the day to go out and vote - vote for the candidate of your choosing. Don’t just vote for them because they’re with this party or that party - vote for them because you’ve looked at how you view issues, and how the candidates view the issues. Go with the one who you are closer to on the issues.

And, to be honest, if you are those voting for a candidate simply because of the party they are in, you might want to seriously rethink how you go about making your election decisions.

Zoo Pictures - Wolf Woods

Yes, I know I said I was on the way to the Aussie area in the zoo, but before I got there, I went through the wooded plank path which goes through the Wolf enclosure.

While in there, I spotted some workers working on the Boo in the Zoo exhibit, setting up a mummy in a casket and stringing lights for it. Across the way there was a viewing area for the public, and I took a shot. Do you see what I see here? ;)

Then, as I walked further along, I spotted this exhibit of some Totem poles, but something seemed a bit off about one of them. ;)

See if you can spot it ;)

Zoo Photos - Peaceful Pachyderm

After going through the family farm area, I proceeded to head towards the Aussie pavilion, and I spotted this fella standing there, just basking in the sun, apparently after having had a bit of water splashed on him or her.

Yes, there are signs in the way, but don’t worry, I did get back to them later on, and you’ll see that in a bit ;)

Interesting tidbit - yes, these are kids in the picture. There were a few field trips in the park, but I think quite a few of them had a day off and went with their parents. ;)
