A Toothy Weekend

This weekend was as simple one. A long time lady  friend of mine that used to work for a telecommunications company. We never have kept in touch all that much but we had decided to head out to what are called the sand dunes. It’s about a thirty minute drive outside the city.

Unfortunately, we just go together she is older thank I am and within the past there was a friendship that came to be rendered. She had been with this company for some 20 years and well she would have been the first one that I would have thought would have been laid off. I am trying to think of the name of the company as it did make a change of names. But here was one of many cases of some of these companies, which had overextended themselves.

When I talked about it with Kisten, soon she changed the subject, as I know she does have her own situations at hand. It was the same Kisten that was not stubborn, she was and is very wise, cut to the chase might be the manner but not within an other than that which can be said between friends. She I found to be a very extroverted one, but that with time came to change. Yet she is still one that I do think of as a smart person. She opted not to pursue anything but to pay the way for her daughter to come to some closure in meeting the father she never knew. Yet she choose to just leave it be.  As she went from tending as a waitress to building herself up to being one of the longest employees within this company. It's rather sad that Kisten was laid off in the manner she was. She would have been the last I would have thought this would happen to. That all may very well come with a little time. So perhaps he might be able to help here there as she really never had any trade - she really apprenticed in doing what she did.

Go figure, to this very day Kisten does not even have a cell. She worked in a company that built several things on this technical assembly line of sorts. But that’s Kisten. Her name is that way when I first met hear so often I would call her Kirten but she is of Dutch ancentory and it took me a good three months before I even came to not make mistakes with it. So rather than heading out there just one of those mellow weekends. Here in Canada the trick is to render as much as you can of this time of the year.

This weekend’s planned excursions to the sand dunes were right up on my list but I am not going to reveling on it as with the teeth it's an on and off situation. But something. Literally in the southern part of this province there is miles and miles of dessert. All preserved by the national parks.

Although here it's the prairies it is something to see. But when I think of a person that has worked from some twenty years and is laid off with only 3 months severance (law of the land). I don’t think I have that much to complain about. Mind you it was nice to get together with a friend and just “hang” if you know what I mean. I can't say my teeth haven’t been halting many some areas although rather than a trek out to the “sands”.

So it was mellow but as decent as can be. Plans can be altered for another weekend.

But a job can't be so readily replaced...
