I had a muffin Anne made from a few days ago and a slice of my left over Maximus pizza. That brought it up before bed. I had a good 5.5 hours and I'm ready to take on the day. I have today and tomorrow I have off. After the next 2 Sunday's I'll be having Sunday's off for awhile. Since we have lodge practice, it might be challenging to get there by 7pm. I think I might just void practice as Anne and I (since I've been working weekends for most of this month) haven't spent a lot of time together. So, it's in for today, off tomorrow and back at it Sunday.
Last night the Oiler's kicked Hab ass all over the ice at Rexall. McD got a point. Draisaitl got 2 goals. The Oiler's are just 2 wins away from a sharing the last playoff spot. I doubt McD will get 50 goals this season but he might get 20-30.
Yesterday Anne checked out the new Shoppers Drug Mart location across the street. Apparently "Sleep Country" is moving in next door. What a boring store that is. I'd rather even see "Easy Home" or "Bulk Barn" move in. Shoppers Grand opening is Saturday. They will have cake and coffee etc. Shoppers is going to be great to get my lottery and Proline. We we need something like eggs or milk after work on the way home, its handy right across the street. Anyway, that's all for now.
Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Strathearn 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 or YouTube channel Shannon on Sounds. Thanks for dropping by

I'm dropping off my application form before I leave
out of here this afternoon. Its just a formality to show I live here. No damage deposit will change hands etc. Management can't do anything because they had their chance back in November 2000.
At the moment I'm just working out the week. Yesterday on the job was slow going. At least I got out at a decent time and home about 10:30pm. It's so nice leaving from work to home when it's still light out there.
Anne bought me a new backpack and made us a nice prime rib dinner. Not much going on today, except to drop that application off at the rental office and into work. I had to cancel the Doctors appointment but just as well because they were going to call me to rebook because the Doctor is about to retire soon. That's good because I can sleep in without having to wake up to go anywhere but lodge. It's our last meeting before we break for the summer. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its a nice cool
breeze out there, which is perfect for sleeping overnight. At the moment its +18* out there.
On our local news they were talking about a Venus transit of the Sun, which should be taking place just after 4pm this afternoon. I’ll be inside the office as the transit will be able to be seen here on earth but weather forecasters are calling for a partially overcast day so we might not be able to see it here. This is going to be the opening topic on Coast tonight. The next one wont be until 2117.
Affiliates of these foreign funded radical groups and even local ones like the David Suzuki foundation went and partially dimmed their websites in protest to Ottawa’s plans to fast track important energy projects. I’d like to see them shut down myself. I don’t visit them. I know where their money comes from.
It’s hard to believe that “A Game of Thorns” (AGT) is in its 10th week. I read the first novel and I hope to go back to the series and read the book #2 and when the first year of the series is over, I’ll order it on iTunes
Edmonton Oiler’s first round Nail Yakapov was in town the other day and he seems to like Edmonton. We should use him as trade bait and make a play for, Alexander Semin, Zach Parise or Shane Doan and maybe trade Yakapov and a couple of others for him. Parise is the most hot after potential free agent this summer. We maybe sign them for a 2 year contract. Anyway, that’s about all I have for now.

Short on topics this morning
as I'm a little stressed out over the new office but in another 2 hours, I'll be in there.
I was going to go to my bank this morning but I can do this latter on. All I want to do is check out the office.
We're supposed to have an all new computer system. Since we got computers to do the calling and the management aspects our calls, we've been using something called "Anzio." I liked it as it was clean and simple. Almost everything was done using the option keys. F1 called up the invoice details, which included customer name and address and how much they were going to give and the sale type XD was always a ticket sponsorship, X for a ticket, CT (contribution) D for donation. M for mail and F1 again if they were going to do this by a Visa or Master Card. V for Visa etc.Then you'd hit F9 to print and wait for the next call. What I liked about this was we'd often be able to chat with the customer if we found a common bond. Quite often I would hear Mr. Smith say, "I support the Shriner's." I ask back: "Are you a Shriner yourself Sir?" If they say yes then I announce my Lodge/Rite etc and we'd have a nice talk. I'd get into these conversations if I wanted to kill some time off the clock and had a decent total. But this new system isn't anything like the above. Apparently according to our unofficial tech guy everything is supposed to be set up by pages and we use a mouse instead of just pressing a key. So this part of the process is supposed to be a bit different. Watch, when I get started this afternoon, we're going to be doing CFK and everything will be on Anzio. The only big changes are no eating at my dialler and sharing bathrooms with other offices.
Getting to the office is a bit of an "obstacle course." previously in the Baker Centre, I'd get off at Corona station and then take the covered walkway beside the street sidewalk to the steps to the sidewalk further on up ahead of the block (helps to avoid pedestrians all heading to Tim's during lunch break on the sidewalk) cross the street up there by Jasper and 106th, turn right at the bank and walk down to the Baker Centre and through the doors. This new way, at the corner instead of turning right, I turn left and wait for the light too change and cross another street. It'll be ok at night.
Also, I want to scope out the place, find out where the lunchroom is, where the TVs are get a good seat so I can see everything or as much as possible. I'll need to find the bathroom, check out the store/kiosk there, find the cordless phone all of this should take like about 10 minutes. It'll be different. Anyway, a full report when I come back tonight. Anyway, that's about all for now.
