I love weekends

I had a tough time getting out of here this morning but I got downtown and hooked up with Dwain, a fellow I work with a few years younger then me. We met little James as well, on our into Tim’s. Yes they had hash browns. I got my breakfast and walked over with the guys to the office. Sure enough we were locked out but one of the team India came along with a key. I ate my breakfast but I forgot my coffee so I decided to move near the other end. It was slow getting started and I didn’t get my first sale until almost 45 minutes into the shift. My first sale was a credit card sale. I did alright the first half but it was after break that I got bogged down with too many dropped calls and F3’s. In the late second half things got better. Actually in the 2nd shift I did really well getting 2 credit card sales and I ended up with a total of $810 but no bonus money.

I had a great evening as I needed a few hours by myself. I could have had a nap as well and I don’t think I’d need a nap this evening.

Tomorrow Day 10 of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics is Team Canada/USA men’s hockey and I’m going to be watching that. Should be a good one.

Nobody won the $42M Lotto Max last night so it goes to $50 and I’m going to get myself a ticket. I got one number. Somebody won the $7.6M 6/49. I was going to get a ticket but the Redimart at Clairview was closed when I was going through the lower concourse.

I didn’t get a book at Audrey’s this weekend but I’ll get my 4th book next Friday. I’m looking at dipping my hand into Ebay/Pay Pal in the books category as I’ve got my eye on the old Piers Anthony “Cluster” series. Piers Anthony has always been one of my favorite authors.

I’m not a big paranormal fan but I do have the first 2 Jill Kismet novels by Lilith Saintcrow. There is a 3rd and 4th installment in this series out. I like the cover art of this series. The reason why I mention Lilith Saintcrow is because over there at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist, they reviewed one of the Kitty Norville’s series: “Kitty Raises Hell.” I’m considering ordering the an Omnibus of this series. The Kitty series and the Kismet series in some ways cover about the same ground. After I read Karen Traviss’s Wes’ Har series, I’m going to read the Jill Kismet series. Or at least try to.

The first hour of Coast this evening is like this: UFO expert Nick Pope will comment on the newly-released UFO files from the British Ministry of Defense. The 2nd hour is another soft topic. Tomorrow George Knapp has a UFO Stargate kind of show. Good stuff.

I’m really enjoying following and watching the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics. I’ve never been a fan before. The one in Calgary in 1988 kind of turned me off but this one if Vancouver I like.

Later I might play a bit of Runequest. I’m trying to develop my level 2 cooking skills. As one of my main objective. Now I got a free bronze sword but no armor or anything.

As I was on the bus at Clairview yesterday afternoon I was considering going over to Century Casino and checking out the black jack tables but I was really tired going through the doors. I’ve never been in there yet. I pass by there every day. Maybe when I have some more cash to work with. What I have on hand is going right to the bank on Monday.

Lately I’ve been using the Real player SP media player which lets me download YouTube videos. I’ve got something like 2,500 files. I’ve been noticing though lately a large red X on many of my downloaded files. The original files are still there and the file size is the same, so I can’t figure out why the files disappear on me. Anyways that’s about all for now.
