Life is strange

27 August 2009
Preparation for the trip is still underway. I have finished the cockpit side covers
and started packing some of our stuff for storage. I need to buy some bedding for the boat, so that may be done this weekend.
This week at work I applied for 4 months leave without pay, I have been told by my Supervisor that it is very unlikely that I will get it. I sort of feel that they don't want to give me the leave because they don't want a job gap for 6 months. So this means I will have to resign, In some ways I am disappointed because I was doing very well with my job. I had found my niche....I think.
Oh well when one door closes another opens, who knows what will come next. I may have to diverge into a completely different career path.....perhaps
sales at Burnsco Marine. Or perhaps I could just be a bum, and live off whatever I can scrounge up.

The world is my oyster
