Thank God January 2009 is in the bank and I'm typing way to fast. What kind of a word is Gid? *laughs*

I was very tired going into work this morning. I brought funds with me for my February bus pass (more on this latter) and for my website money. I didn’t bother to go into Tim’s. I just wanted to get myself a coffee and settle in. Rob was there at one of the dialer’s taking Buds space answering the phone. I think we had 10 tap shooters and possibly equal amount of the front 20 (semies and cold) Rob wanted $180 l/h and I had a couple of $50 CC sales and a slow start but things picked up after that and I ended with way over l/h and 3 CC sales. Steve was there and didn’t bother anyone. I ended up with $880 and 4 Cc’s for a total of a $22 bonus and 32 CC’s for the week. If none decline I’ll have another good pay cheque. Super was moving house and said he still has a lot of wine bottles in the trunk of his car. I’ll be hauling them home Monday and Tuesday. He agreed with that. Could be about 10 bucks worth of bottles.

Also now I’m not taking his word for it but according to D this evaluation thing looks like it’s only an annual thing. I feel a bit better about it.

When I left out of the office under somewhat clear skies it was really gusty out there. Some of that wind was about 80k as I took the long way around to go to Money Mart so I could get my website paid off but there was a line up and that meant who knows how long of a wait. I can always go tomorrow up the street. I went up to Audrey’s and got the last of the American pricing Star Wars “New Jedi order” books, “Dark journey” by Elaine Cunningham. So far now I have 9 in the series. I was lucky to get the first one “Vector Prime” by RA Salvatore (1999) It should have been out of print. I caught my train home and was glad I was in. I did a bit of research over how many of the “New Jedi order” books, I have left to order. There are 12 left remaining and most of them should be in print.

I was able to have a nap for a couple of hours and Anne called about 6:15pm. I was looking over some “Garagebnad” like software for making “music” and I discovered “Auto tune.” I don’t know if it’s a free download or not but it looks really good. You can even import your own vocals onto home made tracks. I might download it a bit latter and play around with it depends on the learning curve.

Anne called again after I had that dinner thing she made up for me. I was just about to get into playing Oblivion at the time and I got really far in the game. Still level one but I thought I was trapped in the catacombs underneath the palace or whatever. I refuse to find any cheats for this game.

After about half an hour in Oblivion I went in and did some reading in “Runner.” Officially I have an hour to go. This is so far a great book.

Anne should be home in about half an hour. She really wants a pizza from “Pizza Hut” this evening. After getting off my train hurried off to the Redi mart to get my February bus pass. I was shocked to learn that they went up $8! That’s from $66.50 to $74.50. The reason why I think the City did this was because they know Ottawa is giving tax breaks for low income workers who need to take public transport. So much for getting a tax break. The City just took it. And the City isn’t through yet. There’s another transit increase planned to bring a monthly transit pass up to $90! Holy crap. I can recall in 1978 a monthly bus pass was $25 bucks. The City isn’t raising transit buss pass rates to piss consumers off. They’re just keeping in line with other major Cities here in Canada. Also the City recently bought new LRT cars and wants to within 5 years expand the LRT to Nait.

My wife came home with Pizza alright but it was a frozen thing from Superstore. It was ok and we watched AMC’s Super bowl tailgate movie, one of my favorite Clint Eastwood movies, “The Good, the bad and the ugly.” A classic .Hard to believe I was 14 when that movie came out in 1966.

So, I’m up at noon later today to watch the Oiler’s host Nashville and then it’s over to Money mart to pay for my website. If they have the Euros. Some MM’s Don’t have the amount I need.

Anyway bloggers, that’s all for now
