Taking a break from doing some

memory work for the lodge June 1st. I do a bit each time. Its a small passage of a prayer I'm doing for a special night in lodge.

I got upon the late side of things this afternoon doing some diary writing, email stuff. Jakob Haq of "Haq attack" updated a video he posted the other day as he was a bit out of sync. The video was a 2 hour long walkthrough of a video he did with a app. That was most of my afternoon. Anne made our late brunch and I watched some of the Preds/Ducks game #2 and watched a bit of Hogan's Heroes. Mostly on You Tube all night. I think other then sports and the news, I'd rather just have You Tube. So it was a lazy kind of day today for Mothers day. Anne was out and about doing her stuff. It's been overcast all day, on the cold side of about 8* if that. I went out on the balcony to get a bit of air around dusk.

This is my last week if my Southside job. I'm not sure if there is a extension. We only met our goal last year because there was an extension. We're not even 50% of our goal. Heads could roll between campaigns when we resume again in September. I'm back at the market research job Tuesday, to see where this is headed and what we're doing next, if anything. I'm back, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (last day of my Southside job) One thing is for certain with my market research job: I'm not going to be playing this "call Friday for an update, (nothing over the weekend, call Monday) kind of a thing. As soon as that happens, I'm requesting my roe. I have more then enough hours for ei from what ei has on file from the Southside job and when this is done for a ei claim. It takes 4-6 weeks before I get anything from the claim. I'm kind of hoping things will slow to a halt with my market research job.

We're getting a bit of over night rain. Our local weather has been on the cooler side this month so far. We had a few warm days last week. Anyway, that's all for now.

I’m trying to use YouTube Live Streaming but its not working for me on

my little Lenova PC stick. Actually I even lost audio from my sound card. Most likely its got to do with my OBS encoder as my Lenova can't keep up. Next up is to try and see how this would work with a VCL player iPod onto iPad. 

 

To expand on the above, I think the pc stick couldn't keep up with the YouTube live stream or the OBS encoder was too sluggish. I have the 32 bit one even

 

Switching gears here, after work Friday I picked up my Space marine Battles book at Audrey's last night. They were in the middle of a book signing and had a lot of people in line blocking the way in. "Pardon me, excuse me," type thing. There was Barry at the other station by the basement stairs. He went and got the book for me from below. I was going to order a few more books in that series that are about to be released this year but they looked pretty busy.

 

The lrt Corona station North/West entrance a few short paces from Audrey's has a steep set of stairs leading down to the upper concourse below. This entrance is visible from street view. As I was about to come through this character was in my way coming towards me swearing and cursing at the 2 lrt security guys. His foul mouth was chirping at them as I worked my way down. I couldn't believe how big these guys were. They were like 2 feet above me. I shook my head at the guy cursing the 2 lrt security showing my bus pass. One of them said "At least we didn't get spit on." They were friendly people just doing their jobs but last thing I wanted trying to get to the sub concourse was to get in between something I didn't start.  

 

I'm enjoying my day off. Apparently Remembrance Day is a stat holiday here in Alberta. It works on the last 5 days it falls on. In this case, the last 5 Fridays, which doesn't apply to me because of the other place and my Friday/Saturday shift there but its a nice day off. Tomorrow I'm at the South side (ss)job at 10am-2:15pm because the market research (mr) job has had no work all week. I need to be working somewhere. In some cases the mr job is better then the ss job but the place where I'm at might pay me for today. I won't know until the end of the month. My ss job, I can work a minimum of 3 hours/day, 3 days a week. I like the lrt train ride going in for a Saturday as it gives me a chance to have my coffee and wake up along the way.

 

As for today I have some time off to myself. I slept in with a melatonin pill in me, which I took early this morning. I got up at 12:30pm today, which is going to make sleep overnight Saturday tough. This evening I'm watching the Oilers/Dallas game. Anyway, that's all for now.
