1 Guess as to where I'm Working on a Project Now - ONLY 1 Guess!

Yup. I'm back at my "corporate alma mater" (not school) yet again. This is actually the first time that I'm working in the big snazzy headquarters.

No. I'm not sitting next to Richard although I could have done so as long as Raymond wouldn't mind on the three weeks out of the month he's not in Vancouver. Instead, I chose to sit with the team I am now working with. Marketing believe it or not.

This is a very aggressive project. In fact, it's two and both were supposed to be done in the same amount of time. I'm looking forward to the challenge but I'm also nervous. I'm out of my comfort zone. I'm not designing all the reports. On one of the projects, I'm spec'ing and sending the requirements out to be done by a team in India. On the other, I am doing the report design.

So from now until the end of July (we think) I'm working back at the office. No contract or anything has been signed yet but they know a good thing when they see it. (Just like they did when I was walking away).

One Weekend of Solos

Geez, Hope I Don't Lose My Voice!!!!

When it rains it pours. It's not only that way with my work (after 4 months of dry now everyone is asking me at once) but also with singing. I've just been asked to sing a really quick 7-10 word solo that becomes another 7-10 word trio for ROCA's Broadway concert and then for the next morning I've been asked to sing another one (with more words of course) at the Cathedral.

I hope my voice doesn't give out.

There are still tickets available for ROCA does Broadway. http://www.roca.ca/documents/ROCAonBroadway.pdf

We're doing music from Babes In Arms, The Music Man, A Chorus Line, Carousel, and Cinderella and so many more I've forgotten them all.

Hope to see you there.

Aloha & Mahalo - Thanks for Having Us!

Mom and I are back from our 15 day Hawaiian cruise. We travelled with my family from Kimberley and Calgary. Mother/Daughter thing (including two honorary members - friends of the family). There were 7 of us. We were known through the ship as the 7 Wonders. It was a blast.

I took massive amounts of pics (of water, flowers, people, everything). Just have to get them all organized now. Hoping to make an album.

As soon as I returned home, I checked my messages and found that there were 5-10 works possibilities. Working on one right now that is keeping me from pumping up photos.

CONGRATULATIONS to Marni and Diego on the birth of their 2nd son yesterday (May 1st). For more information on Rich's cousin and the birth of her second child, please see their blog at http://stickylittlefingers.blogspot.com/
