send out more resumes, and I can follow up on any responses tomorrow. The good news is I have 2. One is a work from home situation the other could be in a office because of the 780 area code. I'll be following up on both later this afternoon. The work from home job is appealing because of its open availability option. That could fit into my current job, especially during the summer. I don't want to work at a home job if I have to work 8 hours just to get $20. Not a good use of my time.
We're having trouble with our two iOS devices as they seem to be on one account. I think this happened due to us signing up for extra iCloud space last year. I need to get to a Apple store to have them correct this. I have a extra email address ready for the iPad. We can use Air drop but its only on my iPod. I need to have it on our iPad so we can share her stuff on the iPad over to my iPod. I have more memory on my iPod touch then she does on her iPad. Most of her iPad memory is tied up with videos and photos. Both devices need to have Air drop. In other words Anne needs to have her own Apple ID/account. I'm not equipped to do this right now.
At the moment I'm just waking up here, working the sleeping pill out of my system. I'm kind of waiting for my job to call me back to work between now and Thursday night. I'm not going to hold my breath that they will. If they don't call me back to work this week, this month somehow I'll have another job. I can't help but feel that my place of employment is playing me with the old shuck and jive routine. I just got a bad feeling about this. I'm sure I'm just imagining this and I'll get a call Thursday night while I'm at lodge. If I don't then shit could hit the fan here. Right now we're just relying on my wife's income. I've got 21 months until pension. Anyway that's all for now.

Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Clareview Edmonton Alberta, with our 2 cats etc. This blog is about my life, rants, politics, books, music production, Sports, some gaming, Freemasonry and some WTF-ish moments that give me pause. Feel free to contact me on my Twitter feed or YouTube channel Shannon on Sounds. Thanks for dropping by

Earlier this morning after tinkering
around with my C270 Logitech webcam, I finally got it to work. First, I uninstalled the software/control panel I installed from the logitech website. Then opened up my YouTube channel "Jim Tube" and after a bit of messing around I got YouTube to record a live video test of me talking etc. It was only a 30 second test but it worked out well. The audio pickup is really good. YouTube even has some decent video editing tools as well. Next is to try and get one of my audio clips to sync with my sample video test 3.
I went in for my shift yesterday and I got a full shift, leaving out of there about 9:30pm. I'm scheduled to go in for tomorrow, but I'm half expecting a call from Super saying my shift for the weekend will be canceled. I'm ok with this as there's a Oiler game Friday night. If I can go in for Friday night even if for 3 hours, I'm ok for that as well. If my shift for Friday is canceled I'll be calling a job lead and setting something up for next week and before the Oiler game, I'll be grabbing a bus to Wendy's and timing it before Anne leaves. I've got several places I'm able to call. I just need something part time steady. I don't know what I can get out of a work from home situation and I've got a few options there as well.
As for today, I'm off this afternoon as I've got lodge tonight. I'm leaving out of here at 5pm in my suit and tie long after Anne has left. We have our festive board early. This way I can have a adult libation before we Tyle and enjoy lodge. I decided to take the Junior Steward's chair for 2016. Not much to do unless we confer a degree. Anyway that's all for now.

I got another call from the office last night asking me in
for some hours for tonight. The shift is 4:30pm-9:30pm. I hope I'm in for Saturday but only long enough to get home for the Eskimo game. I won't know about that until later tonight.
My aging desktop is running on almost empty hard drive space. I thought am I going to have to buy a new hard drive, another os, a bi directional ide/sata adapter etc? I realize the 2 sata ports on the motherboard can support a sata hard drive. Lets go to YouTube and find a tutorial on how to install a sata hard drive. I found one and the process was so easy. What, I don't need another os? My local computer vendor has a well rated WD 1Tb sata hard drive with a 7200 speed for about $100. I can borrow a screwdriver set and a anti static cable. All I'll need is the hard drive to motherboard cable and I'm done. Insert the hard drive, hook up power supply cables, and the motherboard cable. The after everything else is hooked up fire it open then utilize the disk management system and prepare the hard drive at the os level. Restart PC and the os should recognize the new software, east. Its not that difficult a task.
I already did my business with ei and I'm up at 11am to do my stuff, have lunch and out of here by 2pm to my favorite spot to read. Anyway, that's all for now.
