You can’t undo them.
You can’t outrun them.
They’re always there.
Taunting you from the shadows.
Mocking your every move.
What’s the point?

Always on the lookout for another variation of my favourite lunchtime meal, I was quite interested in trying the reintroduced Arby’s Market Fresh Pecan Chicken Salad sandwich. Well… Let me tell ya.. I’ve never been so disappointed with a chicken salad sandwich as I was after a single bite of this thing. At first glance the sandwich looks great. It’s a good size, so you’re probably not going to be hungry once you’ve finished it. IF you finish it.
If you’re looking at it and thinking that it’s simply too fancy for my liking, let me remind you that Subway had a chicken salad sandwich a couple of summers ago that also included apple and raisins, and I loved it! So much that I wrote Subway when they didn’t bring it back, telling them that they should! So it’s not that this has chunks of apple and pecans… it’s just that everything about it tastes horrible… right from the honey wheat bread (which is standard on all Market Fresh sandwiches) to the grapes, pecan, apple, chicken salad… maybe it’s the mayonaise they use… I don’t know… There’s just something about it that isn’t very good. I ate about a quarter of it, and then threw it in the garbage… and that is saying something! Especially when the combo was over $9..
It’s really a shame because I wanted to enjoy the Market Fresh Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich… but I’m going to have to stick with their roast beef.

I’ve spent two nights in my new apartment! I’m not fully moved in yet but I’m slowly working on it. We were able to get most of the big stuff moved on my days off, even though the heavens opened up and spilled the most water I’ve seen in a long time. Made for quite a mess, but we survived.
The new place is great! An old building up town with plenty of character. Beautiful high ceilings… real hardwood floors… I could see myself living there for a very long time if it wasn’t all part of my Master Plan to only be there a year.
I’m able to walk to work now, which is fantastic. There is so much history in that area, and I’ve never really taken notice of it before.
Great news! I got the job that I put my name in for! Same company, but different area… different floor… different team… and most importantly.. different hours! No more shift work! I’ll be a Mon-Fri worker for the first time ever. Hard to believe that I’ll be 40 very soon, and I’ve never had a job with regular hours. This should be nice. I don’t know when I’ll be starting the new position. The two bosses have to work out a schedule, but generally they say that it takes approximately 6 weeks.
My Kia Sportage still has not arrived, but I’ve been driving a loaner Spectra for a week, so I really don’t care how long it takes that Sportage to get here. I’m just happy to be driving something newer than my old Spectra.
And lastly… Happy Mother’s Day to my Mum and all mums out there!

You may have noticed on the right hand side of the page that I’ve added a category called Stuff That I Really Like . I used to have an area that showed a couple of 125 x 125 square block ads that dealt primarily with blogging stuff, like my Thesis WordPress theme, or the Marketing Samurai keyword analysis tool. I recently discovered that I could also add Amazon Affiliate links to the rotating area. I thought that it would be fun to go through and add a few things into the random mix. Yes, these are all affiliate links, but more importantly they are actually things that I USE and not merely things that I put in there for the hell of it. So you get a little glimpse of my life, whether it’s the blogging backend systems, or my favourite cheese grater. And even if you never click on a link, you might still get a chuckle out of some of the things that scroll through there. Can you believe that it’s possible to buy cans of Coke from Amazon? Yup! Just plain ole regular cans of Coke… plus shipping and handling… Why anyone would choose to do that is beyond me.
Then again… remember the Peanut Butter on EBay for $24? Yeah…
