Sweatshop Chuck

Hello!


Well the snow is falling but it's not sticking to the ground, I wonder if we're going to get those 15cm that the weathermen predicted.


Hey! I forgot to mention that I'm now indexing family records. Well it all has to do with my family tree and one thing led to another and I have volunteer to an international association affiliated with the church of later Day Saints, I basically get a batch of old records that I have to electronically convert for posterity and I'm pretty sure they make cash out of this so in a nutshell I am working in a sweatshop! I've just submitted my first batch of records that were from my country circa 1836-1910, I hope I did a good job.


Hard to do these things, handwritten records are very hard to decipher. In the old days people used to write pretty poetic like, calligraphy I think is called, and some names were completely butchered. But this type of handwriting in those days was considered the "in" thing, so I basically did 4 names and submitted the batch back. I want to see if I can get another one but this time I will take something easy, like Canadians shit or stuff.


I think the snow has stopped but there's a howling wind outside the makes the day pretty scary...


Take care of yourselves!
