At least the weather is decent enough as

this is daylight savings weekend. Even though at the moment its +5 it feels like +1. Its because of all the ice and snow on the ground and the wind circulating the cold off it.

I got to thinking, why am I limiting my options to just customer service? I've done light warehouse work before (even though that was 30 years ago) and some janitorial (almost 20 years ago) and security guard work 15 years ago. The way my conditioning is now, I doubt I could do heavy duty warehouse work but light warehouse work like stocking shelves, that kind of thing. Maybe. At Malatest the cleaning crew would be working around us from about 7:30pm-8pm. I could do something like that. The key there is to keep moving. Security guard work though is my best option for anything other then customer service. Holding me back from any security guard work is a course that seems to be mandatory for all guards is called "Tip of Spear." Its $100 online and $200 on site. I need to check this out in case my ei claim doesn't go through, then what?

The plan Monday is to call a job lead too see if they are hiring and how do I get my resume. It's days. Then I've got to gather all of my roe's and head down to Service Canada. Then down to my bank to get a couple of direct bank deposit forms. Then to call the above job lead to confirm they have my resume. Then, timing is critical here, head out to another job lead and wander in at 4:30pm and ask if I can get my job back. Hopefully I can citing the other job at the time has a shortage of work but at the time I left they had a long project with lots of overtime. I just hope that I didn't burn my bridge with these people in October, when last I was there. 

As for today, I'm getting some pdf files for ei, reading and working on a track. Anyway, that's all for now.   
 

Well it was 25 years

ago, Friday was our infamous "Black Friday." hard to believe it was 25 years ago on that afternoon. I was 34 years old working for the Army & Navy Cobogo warehouse (now called Cobogo lofts) I recall a torrent of rain while I was standing on the roof of Cobogo enjoying the rain on a slow work day. I didn't know what was really happening until I got home (9710 156th street #305) about 5pm that afternoon. When I got home my caretaker (I was paying the rent) had said how we had got a Tornado. We were looking at the sky from her 2nd floor balcony facing West and some of the clouds were actually green. I got a call from my parents living back home in Coquitlam BC (lower mainland) hoping I was alright. On the news later it had been confirmed that 27 people had been killed. It still brings back memories 25 years later.

 
At this moment, I'm not that far away from the location in this video.

We'll I'm back to work in the morning. Not a lot going on for today. It's just a regular 8 hour working day.

I was reading in "Above Top Secret" just now that James Holmes' father is Robert Holmes who is about to testify within the next few weeks before a US Senate panel on the largest bank fraud scandal in world history that is currently unfolding and threatens to destabilize and destroy the Western banking system. I don't know if we can connect the dots here or anything but it's interesting coincidence.

Apparently James Rhodes is still going to be playing the role of Captain America "The Winter soldier." This is the working title of the proposed film and I hope they stick with it. I like it. Captain America is one of my favorite comic book hero’s, still is.

Coast has a bunch of soft shows this week. Nothing to get excited about.

There's only 2 CFL games on this week because it's a by week. Two teams from the East and Two teams from the West play. Four teams only 2 games until all teams have a week off. Maybe there's a MLB game I can parley against the two teams. or I might just wait until the normal schedule returns in week #8. The CFL does this every year. Anyway, that's about all for now. 

Having a decent day today

Anne brought pizza 73 home with her and some cheese pleasers (my favorite).

Also, I loaded up the Ubunto disk and it works fine. If this is any indication,I like Linux. I just have to get my wifi connection stable enough.

Anne called at about 7pm We were talking about the possibility of her taking a week off sometime in early July. That place is killing her.

This weekend it being the 14th of May, was the 17th where Richard, Ellen and I got together with a bottle of wine and an evening of debauchery. I recall how I had to use Richard's bike to the nearest ALCB to get the wine, which was located around the area of "Beaver Hill park" to get the wine. I think Richard was ahem "with Ellen" depositing his stuff in her because he was big into this transfer of his "elixir" to gain "magical power" over others men. He did that once with me with his other girlfriend a year later. Of course I had no knowledge of this at the time.That was one of the best times in my life, that evening. Then of course there was "The Empire Strikes back" movie, May 1980 was awesome.

I just watched game #1 of the TB/Boston series, which resumes on Tuesday. The score was 5-2 for TB. Game #1 SJ/Vancouver is tomorrow at 5:30pm. There is a strong possibility that Atlanta Thrashers could be picked up by Winnipeg and the current cone of silence will be lifted and a deal done before the 2011 NHL draft. Anyway, that's about all for now.
