Monday was holiday Monday for most people so I took it off as well. Sunday night I stayed up until 4:45am mostly because Anne was doing laundry. I did the cbi thing early Monday morning and went strait to bed. I got p at noon this morning and I said heck with it, I’ll have a Remembrance day weekend as well. Anne went in though. So I was working around with Adsense all afternoon and I got an ad up on my site. It’s not what I want though. I’m trying to tailor make the text ad to be related to science fiction I know Adsense has the ad preview tool and I tried downloading it but it wouldn’t work for me. I got the code to color the ad already there and I emailed it to Markus around 6:30pm. So far he hasn’t done anything with it. I also wanted to find out about my first job; which was working at the local Burger Chef in Coquitlam 1970. I didn’t lat long because I had trouble washing windows. The owner wanted me to be a jack of all trades. I was working on Adsense most of the late afternoon up until Anne left for work and I realized that it’s 7:20pm. I’m missing Raw. The thing is I didn’t miss much.
I called Anne and she said she’s on her way home. They shut her down at 7:30pm. So, she said she’d like to get us the Dairy Queen specials, 2 double cheeseburgers for $4.99. Good deal. She got home and called to make sure that they had the special. They did. She went up to get them and made me some fries. Good stuff. I was enjoying Raw. Too much Diva action. Nothing wrong with that of course. The show tonight was kind of lame. I give it a 5-10. Sorry Raw.
After that not much. I went out for a walk around the building as it was really winy all evening. It was kind of nice and refreshing.
I was also entertaining the idea that I’d like to go in and do the occasional morning just to have the night off. I still might do that this week. Thursday morning afternoon maybe? There’s an idea.
It’s not widely known on this site that I’m a bit of an amateur JFK assassination researcher. I occasionally like to lurk at alt.assassination.jfk. On this one site hosted from researcher Tom Lowry. He had posted some very interesting videos about the assassination. I was 10 years old when it happened. All I knew was that it was a chance to have a long weekend. I didn’t know anything about Oswald or JFK for that matter. On Tom’s site he has two interesting lengthy video about the famous incriminating backyard photo’s allegedly taken by Marina, Oswald’s wife. You know the one shown on Life magazine. Jack White Son of Roscoe White a photo expert dissected the two photo’s. Apparently there were 4 taken. One turned up in 1976. White made a compelling case that shared Oswald’s position that the photos were fake. Oswald said that he could prove over time they were faked. A few things in the photo White made a strong case for. First Oswald’s chin was narrow then the photograph. There's a link to the video at the bottom of today's blog. It's about 45 minutes long.
The other thing about the case is the paraffin test. Paraffin is the amount of gas discharge from firing a rifle or a handgun. The paraffin test like latent fingerprints can be admissible in court. Oswald tested positive for paraffin on his hands but not on his cheek. Guess what? Oswald worked handling textbook boxes made of cardboard. Cardboard contains nitrate, a prime ingredient in the paraffin test. Now I’m not saying one way or the other. I’m not a Warren Commission supporter nor a conspiracy theorist. Also in the photos the figure is wearing a watch. Oswald didn’t wear a watch. Anyway, enough of that.
I didn’t get any work done on F yesterday but I hope to in the late morning when I wake up. I’m making good head way on it though.
We tried listening to a bit of Coast last night but the wind outside was wrecking havoc with the broadcast. We're getting BC's heavy wind they've had Sunday and Monday. Dennis Hurd might be talking about it on his Blog. See sidebar.
So today I'm getting back to work and my routine. I had a nice 2 days off at Anne’s request. Xl was probably pissed off with me but so what. I'm probably their highest banked part time employee anyway. Most people other then the "back 20" are turnovers. I think maybe they're are 2 people that have worked as long as I have and they've made a special arrangement with Rob to work only semi’s. Mostly everyone there works full time. Rob gets pissed off because he can't send me home when I got $40 bucks on my recap like he used to do. It was rare when he did it but the last time I got sent home because of a low total was when dale was managing the night room. I think in the spring of '04
Markus still hasn't inserted the new code I sent him yesterday. I'm still trying to get the Adsense ad to be specific to this site but I'm not sure how to go about it. I'll have to pay a visit to the Adsense forum I guess. The banner ad I've got up there is (for now) a public service announcement. Now no offence to the good people of the USA but if I'm going to have a public service announcement, I'd rather it have some relevance to Alberta. But I'm going to try and have this specific to what this site is all about and that's about my impression of science fiction and fantasy in all it's forms and my attempts at becoming a SF/F author. So please excuse the banner ad. I hope to have it changed by the end of the month.
I'm onto my first coffee of the day. Tonight when I go in, I'm going to work as usual and then Wednesday see Rob about coming in Thursday morning but we need my cheque. I'm working all of next week except Friday because that's the Strathcona lodge meeting. So on Monday I'll tell Will I won't be in for Friday but I’m going to make up for it by putting Friday morning in.
Anyway, that’s all for now
