I've been up for a couple of hours

now trying to get some music synced onto my iTouch player for Anne.

Last night was one of those wow nights. Winnipeg/Montreal saw my pick on Proline (Montreal to win) come through. But I was doing taps for the last hour and got a few sales but the tap file was a slow file netting me out only a few sales. I got my check and everything was right. Just as I had all my stuff packed and ready to go I had one last customer on the screen and he was a $400 tap. I got it on the card but all the bonus money had gone by guys making a lot less then me. I had $635 on card by the end of the shift. The Hamilton/BC game was well underway and BC was leading by a large margin. I felt good about this game and I would catch what was left when I got home. I went to use the bathroom and headed out side into the 1st week of July’s bright sunshine evening. My ticket was still alive. BC was blowing out Hamilton in the 1st Quarter. I felt good about this.


This time, I decided to walk up to my RBC as that end of Jasper is reduced to just 1 lane. The first ATM had a bit of a glitch as the envelope deposit “tray” or window wouldn’t open. It cycled through trying to open so I went to the next one and did my banking and I had trouble getting 45 day statement. The 2nd effort I got my statement. Yeesh.


For some reason a huge crowd got on the train at Churchill. What was going on at Churchill I had no idea. Maybe Jazz City, probably.  I got home and I think the score on the game was something like 14/33 in the 3rd quarter but Hamilton was making a comeback. There was a 3 point difference point wise (Tie game in Proline) and the Lions had the ball on the Hamilton 10 yard line 20 seconds on the clock. It was 1st down and rather then kick a field goal for the extra 2 points, they ran out the clock! So much for my ticket. The other 2 games are meaningless now. BC won all right but a 3 point spread difference in Proline, is a tie game. Pissed me right off!  At least wrestling was fun. Anne made me some lunch and I went to bed, or tried to sleep but best I could do out of all of that was maybe 2-3 hours of sleep.


I got a full day ahead of me. I want to go get some breakfast this morning. I’ve got a 6 hour shift. After this I’m getting my book at Audrey’s “Going Pro with Cubase 6.” Then after that, I’m taking the #2 bus out over to Wendy’s as I have a craving for their Baconator combo and I’ll wait for the #183 at the half which takes me home. Then pass out. It’s nap time.


Most likely I’ll go to the casino next weekend because I’ll have a bit more cash to play with. I’m already wiped out. It’s been a big week:

 
Tuesday am I had to go over to the Registry and get my Government ID and I spent an unexpected amount wiping out half my funds in my account. I didn’t realize coming home I had left my bank card etc there at the office with my new Scene debit card. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were slow for me at it was. I was lucky to avoid the LRT ticket Police that night but they were out there asking for tickets the next night when I had my bus pass. If they were out there the previous night when I had left my buss pass behind, I would have gotten a $150 fine. Then Thursday I had to get a form filled out from my employer for CRHC and yesterday a bank statement from my Scotia bank and then last night one from my RBC. Yeesh. The good news is at least I got my Government ID and my Cubase book is in and so are my Paypal funds (Wednesday). It's been a busy week, that's about all for now.
