after loging
in and out last night there is work coming up. I'm to call Tuesday, and
he might have a more definitive answer for me then. I was surprised on
my pay, and I felt good heading back home stopping off briefly at
Audrey's. I let the them know I'd be picking my book up at the end of
the month. They're ok with that. Always have been.
Mr.
Hockey aka Gordie Howe past away. I got the news in my email today.
Gordie Howe was a bit before my time and many consider him the greatest
that ever played the game of NHL hockey. Making his NHL debut for Detroit
on Oct. 16, 1946, against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Howe played 32
professional hockey seasons, more than any other man. He also was the
oldest player to score in the NHL and made hockey a family affair when
he skated with sons Mark
and Marty. I never met the man but his post death accolades obviously
are significant to the hockey world. He passed away at the age of 88.
On local news last night there's a scam going around, how some scammers are claiming to be from Canada Revenue Agency. They call unsuspecting people claiming they are from the CRA, and that they owe a specific amount of money. They bully and harass their victims over the phone even threaten them that if they don't pay up with iTunes gift cards, they will be arrested. From this Global report: “We
are
currently investigating a file where a woman was convinced she owed the
CRA $22,000. The woman visited two grocery stores and purchased $10,000
worth of iTunes gift cards at the first location and then purchased and
additional $12,000 in iTunes gift cards at the second location. The
woman then sent photos of the cards to the scammers.” The Canada Revenue
Agency doesn't make phone calls to their clients nor ask people to pay
up using iTunes gift cards or requests prepaid credit cards. My first clue something was wrong would have been iTunes gift cards?
Well,
it looks like I have a few more days off but I'm hoping to get back to
work this week. Its still a pay period and I could use as many hours as
possible. So I hope there's something sooner then later. I'm still going
to followup on plan B on Monday. I'm not risking anything to chance.
Anyway, that's all for now.
