I last posted a week ago

Sorry about that. Last week was busy. On Monday I had my staff party to attend. On my way there, I popped into NorQuest College to see if an old friend of mine still worked there in Admin. I hadn't been in NorQuest since it was AVC late '90s. I'm surprised staff still remember Ellen. We were at "The Parlour downtown." Very nice. I had truffles mixed in my ravioli sauce. First time I ever tasted Truffles. We just had a small gathering Four of us.  My higher-ups got me an Uber ride home. Very nice. 

On Wednesday I had a Doctor's appointment. Back downtown. My Doctor is retiring next August. He shares space with 5 other Doctors. They are all retiring in August 2024. I requested he fax a referral to our NE PCN.

Thursday Anne and I headed out to iHop West. It's so expensive to eat out these days. Including the tip, it cost me $53 for the both of us. 

Friday my Amazon order came in. I ordered the Akaso Brave 4 Action cam. The only thing I don't like about it is the sd card slot is hard to remove the card in and out.

Today I got my video out using my camera. I really need to annunciate my speech as I'm not as clear as I want to be. Anyway, that's all for now.

Finally a bit of a break

for 3 weeks. More like for 2 because this week I have 3 outings. Tomorrow our staff Christmas party at an undisclosed location downtown. Wednesday back downtown for my Doctors appointment. Thursday, Anne and I are on our monthly outing. Then after that 2 weeks off with nowhere else to go. At least the weather is holding good. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was able to get 4

completes last night. This is a 20-minute survey. If I have somebody who doesn't have to explain their answers,  I can get it done in ~ 20 minutes. I made a lot of hard callbacks as well. I'm looking forward to when it's Saturday and I get 2 weeks off.

The time off will give me more opportunity to study for my upcoming Most Excellent Masters degree, in March. Plus my usual video uploads for my YouTube channel. 

This last video wasn't that successful. My most successful video this year was this one. In case you missed it. Anyway, that's all for now.

We began the new work project

or rather I did Friday. The crew we're already on the project Thursday at Lodge. This survey is long. but it's not that complicated. I got 2 completes on my first night.  We had a short shift on Saturday because the fish we're not biting and Christmas is just around the corner. We'll be breaking on the 16th until ~ that first week in January.

I took this image moments ago from my iPad. It's not that cold out there. We're about -4. What you're looking at is Capital Place. Our apartment is at the North end of building A. If we had a North Window we'd be able to see 137th Ave. If it was for the icy ground conditions, out there, all one would need would be a T-shirt underneath a hoody. 

Yesterday I published another video too my channel. I'm using Launchpad and Relics Wave. Not sure what I'm going to do for this Saturday. I bought a cool step sequencer from XLN Audio. The last I purchased anything from this company was when I first got into this hobby back in 2011. When I bought "Addictive Drums" from Axe Music across the street from the old Coliseum building.  The new plugin is called "Life" and it's a sampler, beatbox, and sequencer.  I bought "Life" from Plugin Boutique. A bit pricey at C $155. Anyway, that's all for now.

Working out the last bits

of the project Wednesday night before I broke off last night. Some things went wrong, some went right. Some were embarrassing for me. Nobody cared. I screwed up but not because I did it on my own

New project today. I know the title. The crew was working on it last night. I got my pay and paid off a good portion of a couple bills. 

I bought a cool new plugin for the PC by XLN Audio called "Life." It was at an introductory price, so I picked it up.

This weekend it's work tonight for 5 hours. I'll be following the Oilers game last hour. Saturday from 10-3pm and all week.  Anyway, that's all for now.

Sorry about that

but my last post intro wasn't written very well. I only noticed now 😯

I have an 8am meeting for about an hour and a half., and then back to my my home office to log in for the job. The project wanted us to do an extra 100 completes, but there's no way if that's a hard target with 3 of us calling. There could be an outside chance we might be able to do this, even at 15/day. Flow is 6 and I got 5. That's not bad for a Friday night. 

We got the tree up and I'll try and take a photo over the next while after work, or during my break. Anyway, that's about all for now.
