Sorry. Tim's tooth exchange shut down last year. Try FreezinMonkey's... word on the street is they give $10 for teeth.

Got a call back to the final round on a job interview today which is good, but brings with it a bit of a quandry. If it all does work out, (hoping and praying it does) it will cause a one month pay gap between my current job, which pays your last check on your last day of work, and the new one which pays monthly based on the prior month's hours. Knowing about it now, I can plan for it somewhat, though that calls into question just how we approach Christmas. Second issue, which is somewhat related to the first, is that if my last day is BEFORE 12/31/2012, I will get paid cash for ALL of my accrued time off hours. (Right now, that is 58 hours..would go a LONG way to helping bridge that gap.) BUT if I wind up leaving after the 31st, I can only carry over 40 to the next year. And since they blackout time off off during the last two weeks of Dec, it is going to be tight knowing whether or not to take an extra 3 days off mid month or hold onto them in hopes of cashing in but risk losing the hours. HOPING they make a hiring decision soon and don't play it out for weeks on end.

The job is very different than what I do now. Currently I'm in a call center helpdesk supporting Public Safety users. This would be in a school district doing "Real" IT work. (Fixing PC's, user training, network troubleshooting, etc.) The thought of being back in a hands-on IT department again makes me downright giddy.

I know there is no use worrying over what I cannot control. Indeed I am reminded of my grandfather's oft invoked musing "What is to be will be, even if it never happens."

I don't know exactly what that means actually, but I guess time will tell where the chips are gonna fall.

GL! Sounds like the new endeavor will be something you would really enjoy doing!

PBR gets a bad wrap. It's still beer.

Same deal. Different state. He'll probably try some cheese exchange.

Interesting that everyone here complains of the prices, but they are pretty much the same here, give or take we round everything up or down to the nearest nickel.
We carry the Blonde, Rum finish and original, all 330mls, plus the original in a 750 ml size. At Christmas we get the same oak collection pack. We often get one shots through the year (Canada Day, we had an irish whiskey cask in March, a highland cask in early fall). Right now we have the Spiced Rum finish and the Treacle Porter as one shots. I've even had the opportunity to meet one of the sons from the company (Innis) during an LCBO seminar a few years back

They try to push PBR here as a "high-end" discount beer
