Happy Sunday! Another week gone by. This week we had Election Day and all the major elections seemed to have gone in favor of the Democrats including a lot of the local smaller CT ones. Let's see how this continues. Cautiously optimistic. Tomorrow I am starting off the way with a short work day, then have a doctor's appointment at 9.40am and midday we will head into the city on the train as we have tickets to see David Garrett at 8pm. It's been 10 years since he has toured in the US, definitely looking forward to seeing him play again. He's a German/American violinist who is classically trained (went to Julliard etc.) but also does a lot of pop/rock cross over stuff which is really cool. So that should be a good day. We have an early dinner booked at one of our favorite Italian restaurants Osteria al Doge. So delicious - can't wait. And the show is at 8pm. Anyway should be a good day. Will be a late night and not a fun Tuesday morning having to head into the office but is what it is.
Anyway not all that much else new really. Can't believe we are already heading into mid November now. No idea where this year has gone. Time is just flying and flying. No plans for the holidays really, something low key most likely.
Let's see what next week brings at work, nothing too much out of the ordinary really. Just getting busy setting up holiday coverage plus people taking time off they need to use up before year end that they can't carry over into the new year. I had my 9 year work anniversary on Friday. Can't believe it's been 9 years. I have now reached the max of 4 weeks vacation time per year which is nice. Plus we get some personal days and some other stuff. So really can't complain from an American standpoint. Of course in Austria you start with 5 weeks of vacation time but hey it is what it is. Right?
Anyway, that's all for now. Will write about the concert in my next post :)
Mail Update: Still owe a response to Celia/MA and Nina/WA.
