Sunday.....Dimanche.

We had a nice busy day. We watch the rabbit in the yard this morning while we had breakfeast. Then we cleaned and rearranged the basement. We went for a short drive and had pizza for dinner at home. It was hot and humid but we survived.

Well, well, well

Friday morning at the head office we were told to do whatever we want to do because they could not get in touch whit anybody to know why they did not schedule Nick for his final training. They will leave a message and it will be okay to start on August 4Th. So...

The luggage were in the car, everything was taking care of for our absence, we had our feet out of the door......and the phone rang.
OPS transportation called to schedule an appointment for Nick on Monday morning 8:00AM for his driving training. A few phone calls to cancel any arrangements we had made, unloading the car and wait for Monday was the alternative.
What a bummer in a way........but a job has priority. We postponed our trip to next week.
----------------------------------------------------
Vendredi matin on nous a dit de faire ce que nous voulions car au bureau principal il ne pouvait enter en contact avec qui que ce soit pour donner un rendez vous a Nick pour son dernier "training". Il laisserait un message et le 4 Aout serait un bon temps pour le terminer.

Les baggages sont dans le coffre, tout est sous controle pour notre absence, on a les pieds dehors.....et le telephone sonne.
OPS transport appelle pour donner un rendez vous a Nick pour Lundi matin 8:00AM pour son dernier test. Quelques telephones pour canceller les arrangements que nous avions fait, vider la voiture et attente de Lundi etait la seule alternative.

Quelle deception dans un sens.........mais le travail a la priorite. Nous avons remis le voyage a la semaine prochaine.
