i have purpose at the city council!
well hello there handsome:)
hi everyone, hope you are all doing well so here's the word saturday i went and saw the film Pan's Labyrinth, by Guillermo Del Torro, it was fabu! beautifully done spanish film, the fantasy part of the film was just awesome a little gruesome at times but a great story and a great film and paralleled the innocense of childhood and the perils of war. great craic! then on sunday i went and saw a double feature at the cameo, little miss sunshine again (i can't get enough it is too funny) and a double feature with the film sideways, same director, nothing to write home about there. on monday i went to the forest and showed them how to make popcorn and stayed for the spanish fim tie me up tie me down, this one was pretty funny as it was about an exporn star who is kidnapped by a man and is told that he will be her husband. pretty funny story line. did i mention she is addicted to crack and heroin, so he always has to go out and get her some drugs while she is being held hostage? oh yes. on tuesday i showed amanda how to make a sweet potato pie and after that i got a call from Francesca! UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! i was really excited to hear from her. i also called my friend ruth in dublin on sunday, great to hear from her after she had her baby, Joey!
on to the work aspect. so the last few days Jean and I have been working with another team on the same floor doing the job evaluation part, data entry! it's not extremly interesting but at least i'm doing something besides nothing:) i feel like i am a valuable part of the team, and after a few days of working with fiona she invited myself and Jean to their christmas party on december 14th 4 days before the one i am not invited to with the team i am working with. so not everyone is insanely neurotic about the temps! today i even got to type up directions on how to transfer info from microsoft word into microsoft excel, i know sounds boring once again, but i learned myself how to do it that's why i am so proud! so that's the word from this islad. enjoy the snow!!! Ta.
xoxo,
christie

so I had to look up "craic" in the urban-slang dictionary online. Now I get it...(crickets) Anyway, I'm glad there are some actual human beings that work for the city council and not the typical jerky-jerkys. I was looking today at the duluth harborcams and traffic cams and noticed all the snow. Was wondering how bad you guys got hit; the "cold snap" even made our news. I figured it's typical winter weather. We got our first snow on Tuesday! You guys in Duluth are at 13 inches already and counting... I miss the white! but not the uber-sub-zero-ness of it all. I finally starting wearing a jacket (with sleeves) this week because last week it was 50!

Ding Ding Ding!!! I laughed when I saw the "informal." 2 points to Christie!
PS. This was not the urban slang dictionary but Houghton Mifflin Thesaurus! Ooooooooooh!
