Monday I was at work and I received the message that Ken Bergwall, one of my gaming friends died. He was 47 and died of a heart attack. The night before he was gaming with two other friends, and the next day he was gone.
Wednesday I had an informal job interview, and I was told that when the position is determined they will email me the description and an offer to apply.
Friday was Ken's memorial service and Brenda's birthday, so it was both a good day and a depressing day. Brenda chose to go out to a makeup/spa party so I went to Tuscany for the boardgame night.
Saturday I worked on the garage door, the spring broke so it would not open. After I (and my neighbour Brian) fixed the garage door Brenda and I went out for supper and did a walk through of T&T Market. T&T Market is an Asian market 10 minutes by bike from our house...
We were planning on going out to a movie but Brenda had a nap instead.
Sunday we had our house broken into, they came in through the dog door in the garage and then came into the house via the garage door. This set off our house alarm, I woke up and ran downstairs. I had originally thought that the garage door was just not shut properly but I noticed that the front door was unlocked, then I called to Brenda and got her to hold the phone while I did a walkthrough in the house seeing if anyone was there. There wasn't. I never called the police because there was no real point to it. I went out the next morning to replace the bulb in the garage light and I ran into my other neighbour. She told me that someone had broken into their house and stole their X-Box (which was found on Brian's front lawn, wrapped in their daughter's housecoat) and their car (which was found in the NE). I told her that I would talk to the police when they came to get her statement. She also told me that two other houses were broken into.
When I talked to the police officer he told me everything that was taken was recovered, most of it found on front lawns. I was also the only one that could really give a time for all this to happen (4:41 AM), as I was the only one that had an alarm. I also told the police that there was a police car driving about the block about 5:00 AM as well. He came on at 6:00 AM so he never knew about the other police car.
How was your week?

My week hasn't been anything like your week, which is good for me, I think.
I'm troubled to hear you guys had a break in, but thrilled to hear all was well in the end. Like Brenda said (from you), "The alarm paid for itself."
I'm also sorry to hear about your friend passing away. I don't even want to think about how many friends I have that will some day do the same.
What was the job for?
I dunno, it would be with Terry, part Service Desk, part Citrix geek. They have not actually created a job description yet, so I don't know what the job is.
What I do know is that I am liking my current job less and less.
We have Shawn & Amanda's dogs now too, they flew to Regina on Monday.
