Today there was a small party to get to know the people in the Ceridian company. They are our partner company in corporate challenge. We’re a little too small to compete effectively, so we’ve teamed up with Ceridian to better our chances. We’re still in the pool of the smallest companies.
Anyway, I talked to a woman, Patty I believe, who is also doing the five mile challenge event. Surprise surprise, she knows Monica too. Ever since Monica stopped showing up for running, I keep meeting people who know her. Well this is the second person. But I’m surprised to find just one person in that category.
Yesterday I submitted by income tax forms. I’m concerned that I’ll now get some extra T-slips. The investment companies always seem to take their sweet time in sending out the forms. Since I have a refund coming, I don’t want to wait any more than I have to.
I’m not going to worry about it. The amount on those slips will be so small that it probably woudn’t change my taxes significantly. Not that I expect to get any. Most of my investments are in RRSPs, since I’ve liquidated most everything else to go after my mortgage aggressively.
On another note we got a message from our corporate overlords recently. There is a new policy concerning vacations. You have to take all the vacation time you accrue in a year, during that year. So I’ve now got to plan out three weeks of vacation for myself. I had hoped to go to Europe this year, but the person I was hoping to go with is trying to buy a house. So I’m trying to save up more vacation time for next year. Regardless, I’ve got to think up some ways to waste time this year. I was thinking of a week in June so I could do the Manitoba Marathon. It doesn’t sound like a relaxing vacation, but I was thinking it was the place to do a marathon. In Winnipeg I’ll at least have family to support me.
My calf musle still feels tight. I’m going to try out my condo’s bathtub tomorrow. It’s got water jets. I’ve never used it, but my sister and mother both enjoyed it.
