Good Friday

Friday, March 25/16

Been a crazy week with work and a bit of a health matter that looks to be getting worse and has been referred to a surgeon for further options. Not life threatening but at my age any surgery is cause for some concern, least to me it is.  A draw back is that I've had to curtail my training and have started to feel the effects on my mood as I exercise a bit less, and for those wondering, the issue predates my decision to begin working out and has had no bearing on making matters worse.

The sale of the company is scheduled for next Friday so this past week has been a right shit show in all meanings of the phrase as we've had to deal with multiple teams from the acquiring company as they try and determine our fixed asset base, our transfer pricing procedure, annual tax and SR&ED filings, global supply chain, and the tangible value of the organization.  All of this means there are 4 of us in the finance team dealing with upwards of 6-10 people on each thing mentioned and each team has different people. Top this off by saying we don't have a central person taking point on this and at least one of our team prefers to delegate work than do it and you can just imagine how fun this whole process has been and will continue to be.  Next week will only be worse.

So having done my little whine or rant fest here is my goal for today: Relax and recharge my mental batteries.

My son is seeing a movie with his mom today and than heads my way around 4pm.  Seeing as how we are Catholic I'll be making some fish and chips for dinner, don't read too much into that as we aren't overboard Catholics but I do like to observe some things now and again.

There were some planned golf course openings for this weekend but they've been put on hold as we got snow yesterday and to be honest I thought those were a little premature. I'm hoping some of my favourite courses open by mid April. Hopefully by than the health matter is taken care of and I can enjoy my weekends on a course when possible.

I would like to wish all of you a Good Friday and hope you have a Happy Easter with time well spent with family and loved ones.
