We got into
we got into work all right. We were both feeling tired and drained. I got my cheaque including my vacation pay, and I made bonus as well. $23. Good stuff. I should have enough to cover for Markus for Jan 1st. After moving around there a bit we finally got ourselves stabilized and I sat with JT and I had a slow start to the night and a bit of a cold developing. I ended up getting a $100 sale and I was just about ready to put it through and the screen reset Anzio on me so I lost the sale. I was livid. That set me back the whole night and I did a lousy $535. And the Oilers were losing against Minnesota in the 3rd. Anne asked me on the train if I could walk up to her place of work. It was a brisk cold walk but she was about ready to leave and I waited for her and we went to the insta bank and she gave me my vacation pay. Good stuff. After a brief wait we caught the train at Central just about 9:25pm feeling pretty good about ourselves. We caught the Oiler fans exiting out of the game. I was wondering what the outcome was. I asked an Oiler sweater fan and he said we won 3-1. Great news. Anne went off to get pop at Superstore and I had a long wait before the bus left. I think I got home about 29 min ago. All in all it was a great evening.

The above was last night.

I don’t remember how much sleep I got. At one point I even went out to the front room put my feet on the table and I passed out. Not much going on got today. I received my vacation pay last night and I found 2 all in one-printer/scanner types but the price is $229. I don’t want to blow all my money either. So, we’ll be going into work for this afternoon and it is a short shift big deal 3.5 hours. But this week that gets me 23.5 hours in or a full week for me first time in a long time.

Anyway, I’m going to blog this and the above from last night put them both together.

Hey, hey at least the Oilers won, 3-1 last night and they play again tonight as well.

I thought the weather report said freezing rain but it didn’t register that on the weather channel. In that case, I might go into Chapters tonight and buy a couple of books and maybe that David Byrne Cd on the weekend. I don’t know yet. But since there is no freezing rain tonight maybe I will go into Chapters after work.
