Mostly from last night

Yesterday was a bit of a washout for me. I wasn’t having a very good go of things as Friday’s go. I took my $20 with me and got a diet Pepsi and a 6/49 ticket. The draw this time around is for a “measly” $9 Million. What happened to the $20’s and $30 Millions? I read a bit more on Pandora’s Star on the train going in. The weather was humid crossing the parkade. I got to my dialer and met Fran getting the day bottles and cans and I got a few she couldn’t carry. Full parking lots at Rexall place. What was going on? Extra cars on the trains tonight.

We had 10 tap shooters, most of Team India. I got a paper ball almost in the eye and that put me in a bad mood. I got a CC my first sale for $50 and I got 3 more by break. Anne called and said she was going to go to Superstore to get me those nice chicken fingers I like. And the real macaroni for my lunch tonight. She wasn‘t doing to well at her job. I’d hate to work for her company. I wasn‘t in a very good mood all night and I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Low and behold I ended up with 6 CC’s and I made my qualifying bonus "CC quota."

After work Shank )one of the East Indian kids walked with me to where I needed to cross at Audrey’s in the light rainfall we were receiving. Trevor said how he ordered the next 3 Stardoc books and the first 3 in the “Star Wars X-wing books.” Good stuff. Nothing had come in for me yet. I had a brief look around and I ended up getting the L. Ron Hubbard “Black Genesis” book. “Mission Earth” is still on back order. I don’t know what’s going on with those. They also have the Star Wars “Legacy” books in and I’m eyeing those among others. I paid for my book and caught the train home. What 2 cars only? The parking lot at Rexall was empty. I wonder what was going on? To early for a concert. I had a wait in my bus. While reading I overheard a guy and his date were talking about possibly Warcraft or a game like that. She was really into the game as well. Lucky guy.

I got home and opened all windows and fired up the AC did my admin stuff and settled into watch “Smackdown.” That was fun. Anne came in at 11pm and made me my lunch. That was much better. I enjoyed Smackdown and then on the heels of that, ECW. Good times. I went to bed after that and listened to a bit of Coast. Sleep came really hard as it was really warm in our apartment overnight. I rested and managed to get a bit of sleep. Otherwise I feel alright.

Not much going on today. It’s into work for my Tim’s breakfast and I’ll bring my insulin in. If all goes well and I get all my hours and my stat pay for this coming up Friday I should have an extra $50. I’m looking at this JFK book “The radical right and the murder of JFK.” Trevor said they’d need a deposit because it’s another POD book. $5 down and $55 when it’s in. Usually these POD books are pretty good deliver time wise.

Just 2 days 14 hours until CERN brings their LHC online. I don’t know if that’s when they’ll be conducting their first experiment or anything. We’ll see. I’m not expecting anything soon.

As for me, I’ve got to get ready, post this and get the heck out of here.

Anyway Bloggers, that‘s all for now

jim-shannon.com is missing in action this morning. Is it host problem or just the normal SNAFU stuff that happens on the internet?

Most likely sleeping in.

Shaw cable sometimes goes down for maintenance on low level traffic times. That's why I have Blogger as a back up.

Thanks for the comment.
