    A rare Saturday off    
    Saturday, March 24 2007 @ 01:55 AM MDT
    Contributed by: ejim_shan

    everything turned out all right leaving but because this was the first time this week we left out of here at the same time, when I met Anne at the train, I asked if she remembered locking the apartment door on our way out. She couldn’t recall either and a big fight ensued. It was rather silly. I wasn’t feeling very well with this rough throat but I ended up with the top total for the evening at $280. No bonus but that’s all right, I was glad to get on the train home and I watched the last of the Oiler Av’s game. I’m glad the Oilers finally won 4-3 in the shoot out breaking a 12 game winless loss. Tomorrow is their last night at home and then they go on the road. At least I got Oilers hockey to watch so that’s a good thing. I felt bad all night about our fight but Anne came in and we kissed and made up.

    She suggested because I’m not feeling well, and I have a bit of laryngitis she would call in for me and for me to take today off so I can catch up on my rest. Excellent. I’ve been working every Saturday since the start of the year. Also, she’s got a coupon deal for MacDonald’s “Mcgrittle” sandwiches and hash browns. I can make coffee here. This sounds great. That way I can sleep in wake up to breakfast and go back to bed knowing that my wife will call JT for me to let him know, my situation. I looked at my calendar and I haven’t had a Saturday off this year. I probably won’t have another one off until, well April 1st long weekend. Anne say’s take that one off as well because once I get that insulin pen I’ll be working 3 extra afternoons/week anyway.

    Anne made us Taco’s for lunch and we watched the local news and I just watched my ECW. I love ECW. So then, tomorrow I’m going to have a relaxing day and chill out.


    Ok, seems RJS has an account at MySpace. I do too but nothing that elaborate. Actually my site isn’t even active. It’s just a lame do nothing site, since I have everything I need here. Also tomorrow since I don’t have to go into work, I’m going to work more on “S”, lots of work on “S” this weekend.

    The Wip bars don’t really seem to work for me. I still haven’t figured out how to work them. Speaking about widgets and stuff for the blog, I’m studying rss stuff over there on Keith Graham’s blog. He’s got some interesting items and I think I’ll also be studying up on that tomorrow as well. Like I said, I plan to monetize this site not to get rich but like I said to help pay for hosting etc. This site won’t be ad intensive either so not to worry. I’ll most likely have adsense and one or two other things that I hope will generate some passive income. This also won’t be an in your face kind of a thing either. I’m not selling products. I just want a legal and passive subtle way to make enough money from this site to pay for itself, that’s all. So over the coure of the next several months, I hope to have a few tools up and running. Not to create money but just to help make the site more functional.
