Oh what a day...!

The day started with a night of not having had enough sleep due to the expectation of a stressful day.

Before I had to leave for work, I tested once more the newsletter tool for a client. I had a meeting at 3:30 PM with her and was scheduled to explain the use of the tool. To my big shock the tool did not properly insert the source code for uploaded images. Totally frantic I tried everything including uploading the tool from the weekly back up drive. (Yes, we have back ups now...) Nothing worked.

Once at work I noticed the May schedule is posted. Since there was a large screw up, not my fault but rather due to my co-worker's laziness, I was expecting a lot of angry people to question it. Well it turned out ok today. I only had three people, out of about 250, approach me and ask a question.

After work I rushed out to Shaughnessy via Granville street. That was a dumb move. I was stuck in traffic all the way on Granville and then on 41st. Needless to say I arrived late. (Klaus don't read this: I still have no cell phone to call and advise of my tardiness...)

Now throughout the day I was thinking about how to bypass the newsletter tool's current flaw without looking totally incompetent.

As I arrived at the client's, she tells me, that her Internet connection just went down. COOL! I was so exhausted but relieved.

On the way home I went to Thomas Hobbs and bought some flowers. Photographing them relaxes me enormously.

Once back home I walked little Dos Pesos, fed him, and did some work for another client as the little dog starts barking. As I go and check to see what the heck is wrong, I find him standing next to his food bowl, basically trying to tell me, that he wants more food.

The day is almost over. It's Klaus' turn to cook tonight. I already took a few good images. All is well...

This is it...!?

Every time we have a celebration, we seem to be using native symbolisms to advertise our heritage and diversity. In a way I find this curious as we don’t seem to be making this effort in our day-to-day life. So are we just remember and honor the natives when we have something to celebrate?

Cool job

It's pretty cool to be able to take the rented dog Dos Pesos to work when I have office duty. But then, I never asked anybody, I just bring him...

Aeschbi

I had to send him some feedback about his TV show which I love and watch on my PC. To my great surprise he took the time to respond.

Liebe esther schönwandt
Das war ja ein echter aufsteller. Ihr mail hat mich riesig gefreut und es ist für mich natürlich eine grosse ueberraschung, dass wir bis zum entfernten vancouver wahrgenommen werden. Ich hoffe, dass wir ihnen etwa mal ein paar heimatliche gefühle schicken können und fühlen uns echt geehrt, von ihnen besucht zu werden. mit lieben grüssen aus dem frühlingshaften zürich
Ihr kurt aeschbacher

Falling in Love

falling in love

The past three nights I have tried to perfectly capture falling rose pedals. It's not that easy. But I managed to end up with a few good shots.

Ooh the elite...!

Wanting to be a responsible car owner, I bought an anti-theft system from BCAA. Part of the cost is the installation. But finding a garage who instals the system into a BMW seems to be a whole new story...
