I'm a baby boomer sci-fi
geek with a laptop.


Thursday am

I went into work with Anne slightly ahead of me and I watched the train I think she got on leave. I boarded, brought out my book and began to read, Belvedere and then Rexall. Anne boarded saying she saw me get off the bus but we must have missed each other. She got off at her usual The Bay stop and I headed up to Money Mart to order those Euros for Western Union. I forgot about the form. Get wait in line. Wrong form. Get and wait in line. Yikes, the exchange rate had gone up to 2.3 something. The clerk at the teller was giving me a run-a-round and I don’t think a lot of them knew what they were doing. I didn’t know what I was doing never mind them. Anyway my website will cost me $125 and some change. Most likely $130 by the time it’s all done. Of course there’s a little extra this year mainly because of the menus. I was a bit pissed off that I couldn’t get the money to Markus this week. Anne said if she gets the job then one of these checks this month is mine. Website and Lodge dues. 

Again I sat by Bud. Dialer #14. Severe wasn’t in again so I was lucky I got the dialer. The calls were coming in a bit slower. I didn’t do as well as I hoped for last night. By break I was at $420. We had some paper balls tossing around and that brought my spirits up a bit. I got 2 credit cards. That’s $28 in bonuses so far this week. Anne called me and said how the company gave her another list of places and this one call center I can’t recall the name is coming in to do some recruiting and needs résumé’s. Anne’s been there for 5 years. She needs a résumé? The staff from this new job is coming out to take a look at her and some long standing people tomorrow. They might hire her on the spot. It's the same software she's been using for years. One of their clients at the new job is The Edmonton Oilers. This should be really great for her, free coffee flexible hours. The 2nd half I did a bit better. I wasn’t in the $1,000 club but I did $840. Still I had a decent night for a Wednesday. Anne made us a meatloaf during a late supper.

The topic on Coast is a lame one. Probably important to Americans because they love their guns. (Not all of them.) Yup, Gun control. The 2nd hour will be on the San Diego UFO incident that occurred last week. A bit more interesting.

I practiced a bit of Piano as well before Anne came home. Earlier on my break I called Neil and mentioned to him the song Golden Brown but he’s without his computer. Neil is our Lodge organist. He probably knows Star Wars. He said if I’m going on the 17th for me to give him a call for a ride.

Anyway, that’s all for now.
