Yummy wings

Still so full from yummy chicken wings yesterday night. I have found before the wings at zehrs can taste boiled and kind of gross but the last time I had some it tasted really good. I’m not sure if it because I am not getting honey garlic which seems to make the skin seperate from the wings as it swims in the honey garlic all day or if it is because the wings I get have been sitting for quite a while so it is fairly dry and cooked.

The trees by townline have the perfect amount of snow on the branches, it looks so nice. I wanted to get a picture like that this winter but it hasn’t snowed enough to give me a chance to get that picture. I also wanted to get something with Preston downtown with snow and christmas lights but again that wasn’t happeneing.

Tomorrow I am heading to the zoo, I have no idea what there is to see at the zoo during winter but my groupon will be expiring soon so I have to use it. Originally I was going to use right away and hope that it was still warm enough that not many of the exhibits closed. My nephew is suppose to be coming but I’m not sure how interested he actually is in coming with us, couldn’t really get a straight answer before if he wanted to come and I am finding out it is normally very difficult to contact him during the week and I wanted to go at 8am. : /

Today was suppose to be a huge storm out in the morning and that it would be difficult to get to work with freezing rain and such but it really isn’t bad. It is more rainy than snowy, it kind of sounds like the storm is a few hours late despite suppose to have started overnight. It is still above 0 so I guess it is going to be OK unless the temperature drops.

I think work is coming together for me. At first my new area seemed very overwhelming but the pieces are starting to come together. Managing the inventory will still be a problem, I have to understand how much there is of the programs that are being exited. The buyer I work with acknowledges the problem so we all will be working on it. It is a lot better than what my carpooler has to deal with since her buyer sends out emails saying she can’t make her sales because purchases were cut despite the fact that she has more total purchases this year to last year. It makes me pretty sad that someone like that actually works with us.

One of the guys in my CMA group has gotten a new job, funnily enough it is with a company in the same field as one of our cases. He laughed about and said during one of his interviews he brought in the case and paper we wrote about them. Oh well there goes my insider contact with loblaws, I guess I have to troll through linkdin to find someone else I know who works there if I want to get some info about their inner workings.

I missed out on a team lunch today, I could have attended but I feel kind of weird going since it has been a couple of months and I’d essentially be getting a free meal in front of people who well might not have a job next year. It was to celebrate the year and I was there for about 11 months of that year, I just feel weird about it, that too much time has passed by. I am coming up to 15 years with the company, I am a little miffed that I couldn’t do all 15 with Zellers, oh well. It is a lot longer than I originally thought it would be, I was thinking 5 or so and always made jokes about being a lifer. I still have $110 in gift cards to spend, guess I can stock up on some more soup and crackers. Joy.
