Tribulations

The board at the curling club where I provide foodservice has made some changes to our position as exclusive caterer at the curling club.
After 2 1/2 years of service with fairness and integrity including sharing our financial information with the manager and using a transparent and fair pricing policy we have lost one of the largest events to a member (who is also a chef) who used to run the catering 2 years ago. Does this stink? Are there any honest people left on this planet? Can I live only among them?
The good news is that this decision is shaping our 2008/2009 business plan and that we will take preventative measure to make sure that this kind of hokey politics doesn't affect our business again. Who needs this kind of stress!
I couldn't make my SnB because I was too overwhelmed with the days' events. See you next time.

This and that!

I don't make enough time to knit.
I have made a couple of hats, done more rows on my Monos Locos socks and tried to make some progress on my b&w aran sweater. I need to have a stockinette project on the go. I can't make up my mind what I'd like to make! Uggh! I'm such a perfectionist sometimes.
My sisters wants to me to skiing with her in Colorado in April, I promised my partner that I wouldn't go away until after the curling season....I don't know who will be the hardest/easiest to disappoint but someone is going to be disappointed.

I bought another new computer, I'm addicted!
I need to sell one of my laptops to finance this new purchase! I have to re-format the hard drive to get rid of my personal information.....this is getting complicated I think that I'll have another glass of wine.

See you
