Okay I had a 4 day off Christmas break. That was nice. It’s back to work today.

A couple of things going on for today: First I'm going in after a 4 day break. Next it’s to see if My team won the $50 bonus from last weeks round of OTH. The guys would have confirmed it Monday when I wasn’t there. Also, I’m going to get my pay cheque. Wu who!!!. And to top it all off there’s an Oiler hockey game on. Good stuff. lunchroom:

Also, I found out more about this “National Do not call list” for Telemarketers. Certain organizations are exempt from the list. They include charities, political parties, opinion-polling firms, newspapers and organizations that have an existing relationship with the customer. We raise funds for charities so (I think) we’re exempt from the “list” as I’ll call it. My wife is exempt because she’s doing survey’s/market research. Our company that sells tickets for events is a grey area but there is a charity behind it. I think Xl is exempt from this as well which is good news. However it may not be good for Cw but Cw also offers calendars, which when the customer buys a calendar they pick the charity and some of the money goes to the charity of their choice. So I think Cw is ok. What the "List" are concerned with are call centers that are trying to sell them a product. Most of the call centers these days are either charity based or market research. I’m not worried about it.

The only thing I’m worried about is our rent going up, and I think we’ll get the increase next week. So next week right after New Years day, my first day back to work is the day I get my portion of our rental assistance form into Rob to sign. First part of the process for rental assistance. So as soon as we get that in and a rental increase then we get everything together submit it in and hopefully we get the subsidy before April first.

Well Ched is back finally and a great show on Coast tonight: Researcher Grant Cameron will discuss the various presidential candidates and their UFO related experiences as well as recent documents relating to UFOs which have been released from the Clinton Library obtained from a FOIA request. It shows photo of Hillary Clinton meeting with Laurence Rockefeller at his ranch in Jackson, WY in 1995. The philanthropist, who died in 2004, was known for his interest in UFOs in his later years. Should do well for Hillary’s bid for Presidency what being associated with UFO‘s. Hillary Clinton for President. What a Joke. If I had a Billion bucks to bet, it’ll never happen. It's a sure bet. Also when were ready for bed at about 3am: First Hour: Researcher Stephen Mehler comments on Egypt's plan to 'copyright' the pyramids. Yeah right. What a crock of shit this one is. So what about the photographs drawings etc already in circulation over the last 100 years or so?

Anne made me the left over rack of baby back ribs from the other day backed beans and fries. The ribs were in a tequila sauce. Yummy. That was an outstanding dinner.

I decided to abandon the idea of learning that "Dust in the Wind" song. It’s too advanced from where I am. I know two songs and they are not even complete yet. Right now I’m learning left hand staccato exercises.

Anyway, that’s all for now
