Keeping occupied

I’m working on my first coffee today. Temperatures are a bit on the cooler side at +7C and this is going to be our high today. I went to bed around 3am and passed out about 3:30am. I slept until about 5:45am to get up to do the cbi thing. So I had just a little over 2 hours. Then an urge to read for an hour and have my oatmeal then around just after 6am I went back to bed and passed out from there. I woke up at various times to use the bathroom so I think I had about 6.45hours. That’s just a ;little over 8 hours.

From last night: I rushed for my bus into work and had a leisurely train ride for downtown. CPA tonight. Anne had called me while I was walking to work saying that someone had turned her purse in. Relief. I had a slow start. There were only 4 of us doing it back wall the rest were doing burn. If I was doing burn I’d have another grand but I ended up with a slow night. Everything’s smoothed over with Melody so that’s ok. We “made up.” Anne called me on her break and it’s nice to have her call me because it makes a slow shift a lot better. I ended up with $385. I think it was a mistake for Will to put me on CPA. Or Rob and Will did it intentionally to get me off this $1,000 streak every night It makes everybody else look bad and they’d have to reward me somehow for doing such a great job, which they didn’t want to do. The other 2 guys did around 5. Greg sitting beside me didn’t do any better. Bud left at 7pm with around $500 and Edgar ended up Top total for around $600. On CBA I would have had about a grand, We got out early and I hurriedly caught my train home getting a call from Anne at Stadium with me waiting in the bus Clairview.

Anne suggested what I do instead of going all the way downtown to use the phones tomorrow afternoon, I can go over to the bank up here by Manning crossing and use their customer courtesy phone. I can use my cell phone but it’s 25 cents a minute call. And most likely I’ll be on hold a lot to. Once I get some action with housing assistance and get that completed then I’m going to go over to (no money) to Happy Harbor comics and check out to see what they’ve got. I don’t think they’re going to surprise me at all with anything wow, but I’m in the area anyway. Why not?

Okay website stuff. Firstly, I hate the look of this website. I really do. I want to change the theme but Markus is hung up on these menus. The thing is with the new proposed design there are menus that are already built into the template itself. So I need to inform him about this and I’ll leave it alone. I’ll still pay him the $20 for the recent orange menu layout tabs. But this current website look is drab and ugly and looks unfinished. So, I’m going to email him back this afternoon before I leave and let him know about the menus resident in the new Template. Just leave everything as is and extract the orange menus out of this template and insert/upload the new theme in from there.

Other then that not much going on today. Tomorrow I’ve got that running around to do but then after that it’s to the lodge and home. Friday, the only thing I’ve got going on is work, hopefully the bank will be in , I’ll get my pay cheaque and see if any of my bonuses are on from last week. I don’t know if all of them will be there. I should have $65 bucks worth of bonuses added onto a full week. I should get about $240 on my cheaque after taxes. If I get that full $65 (see what happens from the phone) call I hope to get a clip on tie and a short sleeve dress shirt. With the rest I want to place a special order at Audrey’s for 4 books. If they are still in stock that is.

Anyway that’s all for now
