Pouring

Today started as usual for me. The cat woke me up early and wouldn't leave me alone. Finally she did and I was as to get back to sleep. Unfortunately that wasn't for long as she had other plans. She managed to wake me up again at from scratching on everything possible. By that time in the morning trying to sleep anymore is pretty well a lost cause as the alarm is about to go off. When it eventually did I got up and got ready for work. The best part of getting ready for work is that the NHL season is starting soon. The preseason started the other day so now there is a reason to watch sportscenter while I eat breakfast. This morning there was Oilers highlights on from their preseason games they played yesterday. Its a good time of year. 

I went to work and the day didn't start off busy right away but by 8:30 the tide changed and I had 5 or so people come  in. Nothing major but it was a pleasant change of pace. It didn't last and everything was caught up and done by 10. 

I came home for lunch and watched some tv before going back into work. The afternoon was kinda like the morning. It wasn't busy to start with but by 2 it had picked up, but only for xrays. So I entered them and my boss took them. I ended up inadvertently made a woman cry. She was traveling here from the UK and needed and Xray after a fall. She was in her first week of her 6 week Canadian tour and vacation. Apparently she ended up crying not because I was trying to make her arm move in a way that was too painful, but because I was super helpful and nice to her trying to get a hold of her travel insurance provider and helping her with everything involved with that like phone numbers etc. 

I came home and finished up my schwarties casserole that I made on Monday. No plans for the rest of the night. It is pouring rain again and has for most of the day. We have 100km/h winds in the forecast tonight with another 60+ mm of rain. I figured I would blog early because the Internet hasn't really worked this week. While I was watching the news they had a segment on the great bear rainforest, where if you haven't realized yet is where we live. Just before we came home at the start of the month there was a boat washed up on grave island and they showed it on the news tonight. So if your interested and have the ability to, try to watch global BC evening news tonight or go to www.globaltvbc.com and look for the spirit bear link and you might see it there. Just something I thought was pretty cool.
