Just another Wednesday

Except that this Wednesday is the first day of my last month in the current job. The final countdown has begun. There is still lots to do before I head off, so it's not a month of coasting by any means. Sonia is up in Thailand again, so there is time to focus and get stuff done. Of course there is also the work of planning the trip and closing out things here in KL.

The construction across the road is still going on - it started before we moved in about 12 months ago, and is no-where near finishing. The biggest gripe (of the entire condo block) is the noise that goes late into the night. The crews seem to leave all of the noisy work until 7pm - and often are still going at 12 at night. Amazing that they still have a 24 hour construction license. The condo block had signs up about registering a formal complaint with the local authorities and were collecting signatures. Still it's unlikely that it will make any difference - there is no benefit to them to listen to the residents. Sigh....

Off to Phuket for the weekend soon - a nice break from the city. Should be a good chance to relax and chill out. At that point there will only be two weeks more of work, so that's even better!

Received a semi-legible letter from Dad the other day with news of NZ. It's got to the point that Sonia is better at deciphering the handwriting than I am! The fountain pen provided previously as a present is obviously still in use :-).

Phone call from Canada at 5:45 AM this morning. News of new bike purchase and other activities. Jealousy sets in - a Honda ST1100. Very nice.
