It's getting busy now

I had a pretty good night on the job as I pulled in $580 and $70 cards and of course I got a whack of empties to take home.

Weather wise it was mild on the way into work. About -6. On the way home it was foggy and around -3. As far as winters go, the ‘09-’10 has been really good.

Yeah Canada! We won another Gold, this time in the women’s snowboarding. What really pisses me off are all these masked protesters taking objects and smashing them through windows of businesses downtown. Most of them are from out of the country and if caught should be charged for terrorism, the bastards.

I managed to play a little Runescape and figured out how to equip my character sword. What I like about this game is that it saves where you left off. To pay for a members account is $60/year. I think I’m going to like this game. Apparently these are tutorials I’m about to play before they get into the campaign game.

Ok I’m off to bed and listen to a bit of Coast. I’m about ready to finish another story in SF ‘06: “The Inn at Mount Either.” By James van Pelt. I’m enjoying this one. So far I rate this an 9/10. I really enjoyed this story.

I slept later then I intended today but I needed the sleep. I’ve been so tired lately. I probably could have slept until 2pm today.

Lately I’ve been trying to do some research into a local 500 Kilovolt power Heartland transmission project just NW of Edmonton. It’s an overhead high voltage line stretching from lake Wabamun to Fort Saskatchewan and is the largest power line of it’s kind here in Alberta. It’s going to provide about 2,000 jobs for people. The towers are going to be 60 high and 80 meters in width. These overhead power lines look ugly and there is some evidence that they make people living near them sick. Local residences are not against having the benefits of the power, they just don’t want it above line. It’s not that hard to do to burry the cables underground. You dig a trench and plant the cables. How much does that cost? The Province etc says burying the project under ground will and 5-8 times the cost of the project. Huh? You get several backhoe’s together and you got the trench done in a month. More on this later. The project apparently is supposed to cost $350 million and proponents of the project say to build the line underground would cost about $2 billion. What to get the cable and dig a trench? Also why not put in wind turbines instead? wouldn’t that generate equal amount of power?

I wanted to go in for this afternoon but I was kind of wiped out. I’m going to try for 1 extra shift/week and build up to two. We’re all caught up in our February rent. We’re now working for March. With the extra shift, and a full day Saturday gives me 28.5 hours. Another shift would give 31 hours. Anyway, that's about all for now.

Its been a busy kind of a week

I went upstairs to Money mart right off the train this morning. Some character was at the only open teller. I didn’t think I had enough time to get my business done. I asked if they had any Euros and yes they did. I went to Tim’s and got my breakfast. I got to the office and sure enough the lobby was full of company staff. We had to wait for a manager for an elevator key to let us upstairs. My breakfast was getting cold. Finally after a ten minute wait one of the managers came by to lest us upstairs. I had only a few minutes to eat. That’s the only thing I don’t like about coming in on Saturday mornings.

I had a terrific shift pulling in 6 cards for a $320 top credit card total for a $10 bonus and I got the $15 line hour bonus for a total of $1,1 65. This week I got $30. Not bad. It was worth going in today and after work I went to Money mart and sent Markus my annual fees for my website. So I decided why not celebrate? I walked up to Boston Pizza asked for seating for one. Ten minutes later in a busy area they had one server. I had my bag of empties with me and tucked away by my feet. I got ignored so I left and went down to Corona station missing my train. I was kind of feeling sullen and a little ticked off. I made a mental note not to go into that BP’s again. I finally took my train home. Since the city had no event they had only 2 cars and that was crowded. All I wanted to do was to get home and I hoped Anne had something for me.

Anne left me with a can of strew and I ate that with a bun and took my insulin shot. I watched the Pens /Leafs game. Leafs were playing alright but things quickly broke down. I gave up on that and, dozed off a little on the couch.

I feel good about paying off one bill. Now all I need is to have my Lodge dues covered and that’d be great. I’ll be working towards that this week.

I had a nasty couple of days what with the trouble I

had with my PC. After a few hours my ISP and I were able to get my computer working again.

Also I added some photos over at my website and a more complete Blog posting. Sorry but I'm too exhausted to post it here this morning.

Anyway gang, that's all for now

I'm having one of those days again

I'll have more to say latter on this evening. Kind of a stressful time for me right at the moment.

Anyway gang, that's all for now
