The Office

It has been a while!

What can I say, it's January, and we finally have snow and cold weather. The good thing about living in this part of Alberta is "hard winter" never lasts more than six weeks.

We have had renovators finishing our basement. Perhaps "finishing" isn't the right word, as "finishing" doesn't seem to be what is happening down there. This has been quite an eye opener experience. Despite a glowing reference from a government client, and their own personal more than glowing references to their own amazing accomplishments, fantastic workmanship, perfectionism, etc., be warned, people, it is all for naught.

What we have is shoddy workmanship, with my husband having to tell these guys how to correct their mistakes and giving them guidance all along the way. Bob could have easily done all the work himself, it is a time factor that kills us. He was getting desperate to have his own office space.

So today, for the first time in months, he once again has his very own, private office, with a door that locks. It is painted, albeit very poorly, a cheery spring green, has an amazing spalted maple laminate floor, a huge closet for shelves for all his materials, great lighting, and IT'S WARM!

The only problem, the long commute. Quite a change from roll to the side of the bed, sit up, turn on computer. Now he has to actually get out of bed and walk downstairs. He will adapt to the commute as he revels in his quiet and soon to be organized private domain.

It is a good day.
