What a day.

I sit here today Blogging not by typing, but by dictation software. It seems my sore back neck and shoulders has turned out to be a rather painful back neck and shoulders. Apparently getting hit from behind while driving down the highway and 80 kph can actually do a fair bit of soft tissue damage. I tried to work yesterday. In fact, I did worked a full eight hour shift but at the end of my shift. I was barely able to move my arms, although I did hide that from everyone else the fact that my back was that bad.

I went to the doctor today, and he suggested strongly to the point in insisting that I take two to four weeks minimum off work. And only then come back to do in light half days, if available, I went into the work today to get the medical leave of absence forms filled them out at my doctor fill out what was necessary, and fax them back. Hopefully, I'll have the job to come back to.

I love my job.

This is the first real job, I had that I can get up in the morning excited to go to work! I work with the most amazing people. Everyone is so friendly and happy and there for you. The people are always laughing, be it to staff were your coworkers. Everyone there seems happy to be there. I know I am. The job makes me laugh. It may not be the most challenging work. But there's always something to leave you smiling, whether it's a coworker or silly customer you are always smiling or least I am. It's a great starting spot.

ICBC, of course, is kicking up a Fuss seems they don't want to pay out my wages or at least they're not being very forthcoming. But because the accident was not my fault, they're going to have to come up with the very least, if I have to eye can take a week off, because that week will come out of that what I considered my bonus check. Just basically, an extra check that comes in October, because of the way the pay schedule works out.

So excuse any typos, and the postdated posting. But this dictation software is actually pretty decent. I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised and the best part is No Spelling Mistakes! Hopefully, I'll get this thing trained the way I wanted so there's very little editing, actually it's about 90% accurate right now so. I'm thinking there's not much work left to go.

The great news is, I got a parcel in the mail today. [Actually yesterday, because I'm posting dating this] it was a parcel from Matthew Kelly [the author of the book, and the audiotape listed on the right under read that, and listen to that] Matthew has sent me a copy of his book, Rhythm of life, signed [the one on the right] a copy of mustard seeds. A copy of his live audiotapes [the one on the right], and a copy of his audiotape. Train. He also sent a card, in it he basically said that he was friends with my brother, and that my brother asked him to send me these. How amazing is that! So now these books I've been recommending to all my friends, I actually have a signed copy of. Very cool! I can't believe this 29-year-old man is so wise in his words. [You should read these books] and I'm so glad that my brother has an amazing friend like Matthew, and that Matthew has amazing friend like my brother. I will have to thank both of them. I will treasure this forever! If you haven't read these yet, you really should! Besides my Blog, Matthew Kelly's books and tapes have been the one thing that is helping move forward. For that I'm grateful!

So Matthew, thank you. Your gift was very generous, and an inspiration to me. Your books are an inspiration. You words, constantly uplifting. You have allowed me to move on, where I feared I could not.

Thank you.
