TGIF, or rather TCIF

It has been a somewhat hard week mentally for me; I don’t do “silly manipulating mind games” very well, seems some business people thrive on it. I think we have come to some sort of a resolution, it will be made clearer in several weeks, I just hope for everyone’s sake common sense prevails.

The school is closed today [the primary at least] for an in-service, closed again Monday for a floating holiday. What with all the weather closures and the no water closures this year it puzzles me that some sort of accommodations could not be made to play catch up in the education of our children.

Fran had a funny anecdote to tell on the floating holiday. Fran asked on of the staff at work “how do you translate floating holiday into Inuktitut”?
Literally it would be the holiday is floating on the water, or the harbor. Any way in the full context of the anecdote it was funny.

The four photos taken yesterday of the NMC are of the top floor, the radio department. The hall way shots give a bit of an idea of color and what that area will look like when completed. The exposed insulation is where the lift shaft is.
One may wonder why shots of the ceiling. Well one gives an idea of the feature wall color of the radio meeting room, the other is of the edit room and the main color of the whole building. On the other side of those walls is the radio control room, then other side of that the interview room.
These rooms are the hub of that floor, the raison detr for the whole project.

They are also one of the contributing factors of my hard week.

They are supposed to be sound proof rooms, there will be lots of live on air stuff being done in there, its a radio studio, eh?
So the design has the sound proofing insulation and double gyprock finishing 3 feet below the rafters, then an acoustic ceiling hung like these tow pics show.

This oversight was picked up before Christmas and pointed out to the appropriate people. It still has not been corrected, there is a written promise made [only this week] that it will be corrected before the project is completed.
One has to take the written promise at face value; it’s like pulling teeth, or getting blood out of a stone.




I have an idea for Amy; why not go in through Mexico. What’s the worst can happen if caught, a little sabbatical in the sunshine of southern Cuba, would help get her off drugs too.


Have a nice weekend folks, weather is looking good for here, rather have snow myself.
