Your up early today Jim what gives?

It was shortly after I posted my last diary entry, I checked my call display to see if the office called. Sure enough the boss called and said I have 9-3pm for Monday if I want it. I'll be there at 9am, was my reply. Privacy prevents me from disclosing what project I'll be doing but we've done this before. I'll be out of here shortly before 8. One good thing about this shift is I'll be able to watch this weeks Oilers games, tonight, Wednesday and Friday.

Before bed I heard on the news that Oil prices dropped to the lowest prices in decades. Currently $32.61. Since the Alberta
forecasts its economy on the price of oil, the current news has consequences for our Provisional economy. Investor confidence is on shaky ground. Another fall out of Covid-19. Earlier the Bank of Canada slashed the interest rate to help weather the virus pain. Alberta can still make a profit on $25 oil. That scenario might happen sooner then later.



Currently I'm reading Brent Weeks, I've had this book  and the other 4 since November 2018. "The Black Prism." I just couldn't get into book 2 of Robin Hobb's "Royal Assassin." Nothing wrong with the story, its just there's been so much other things in my life going on lately. Anyway, that's all for now.
