I needed that

9 hours of sleep in the middle of the week. I love these mid week stat holidays for that reason alone.

My day yesterday was ok except for the person beside me. She's a nice lady but has a drowning nasal voice that penetrated right into my headset. I think my respondents heard more of her then me. I ended up with barely 5 completions. I don't make the seating plan up but I know who does now and I'm going to implore him to put some separation between us. Its bad enough having to listen to my loud neighbor score on every call while I'm getting 1 every 90 minutes or so. Tomorrow, I'm going to leave an earplug in my ear and see if that helps a little. About 80% of the time a 15 minute takes about half an hour because most of the respondents have accents. Because they hear the echo of my neighbor more then me, their asking to repeat the question. I like the project I'm working on but I think it's going to come to an end (and the calling) Saturday. I'll know my schedule when it gets emailed as the availability sheet  has been missing lately. Since I don't have spell check on the computer where I'm sitting, I'm going to open up Google and use that as a spell check in another window and just copy and paste. Many times I can't go back after the survey is done to correct spelling. We're not supposed to use the Internet for inappropriate use but this is appropriate use as far as I'm concerned. 

The other day I found (after almost 2 years of working in the building) my service provider wifi. Listed was Shaw's Go wifi, which since I'm not on Shaw wont open for me. So, I thought the back door to Subway was on the main floor of the building. Subway has free wifi. I thought maybe all I have to do to access it without going outside (sometimes the intercom to the building doesn't work, and I don't like to stand there outside when it gets -25 waiting for the buzzer to click to let me in) While on the other side of the "Subway door"I go to my list of available networks and there's my ISP's open. I just type in my email hit the TOS button and I'm online. Oh, wait..this isn't Subway. It's another business! It just says my ISP and I think I can get online access anywhere on the main floor. I'll try that tomorrow. I wish I would have known about this during this last CFL season. The CFL season is now over as of this last weekend. Esks lost in Regina but they played all 18 games. Having known about this during week one in June I could check on the games during my 2 breaks and my half. At least I can check on Oiler games. 

Speaking of which the Oilers are in Nashville tonight at 6pm. This is a market we have trouble winning against while on the road. I don't think we're going to take this one but our boys have been playing good on the road winning their last 2. Here I was thinking they'd win at least 1 in OT. Now two back to back? Can they make it 3 tonight on the road?

I decided on my day off Friday before lodge, I'm running down to my bank then over to Audrey's to get my books and then to Memory express to get a sshd 1Tb drive for my laptop, a 1Tb drive for my desktop and a sata/ide connector, a screwdriver set and memory card for my camera and a dedicated memory card for my Kobo and Windows 8.1 64 bit. I'm going to just start over and reset my laptop back to factory settings and install Win 8 and then reinstall my music programs. Komplete 8 is about 110 Gb, Maschine is maybe 4 Gb, the Oxygen keyboard is minimal and that's all I need for now. On the desktop, I plan on getting a hard drive dock duplicator. They're priced at about $75 take out the desktop drive and do the data transfer and install the new drive with the sata/ide connector inside. Anyway, that's all for now.
