I've been putting in a lot of hours in on the job. Sunday/Monday, 2 full days working the municipal election. Then its just been 4-9 from there. I've been so busy, I was barely able to catch the Oilers scores. At least for this time of year the weather has been agreeable.
I'm not sure I want to do this but I'm thinking about going to the Edmonton tower tomorrow. ETS has a 2nd floor office. I need from them what's called a "statutory declaration" form. This form is to replace the T4oas form, which I haven't received one yet since I've only been on oas since last month. I need to bring this form to an Alberta registry and they have on site Commissioner of oaths to check my notice of assessment from last year. There's a registry called Accu-search in City Centre mall. Its a block South of the registry below the food court. I can get a bite to eat and have them sign the form from ETS confirming my income to get the low income annual seniors bus pass. Once I bring that back to the Edmonton Tower I can fill out the application. Apparently I can just bring that along and get the bus pass on the spot. Its good until the end of March. Anne got approved for the low income ETS program this morning. I also have a visit with my Doctors office to pick up some medication and get a prescription. So, I've got a bit of running around to do, tomorrow.
Apparently Alberta labour laws say I can't work 7 days in a row, not six. I could work tomorrow, but I'm taking the 3 days off. Super forgot to put me on the project sheet last night showing my dialer #, project I'm working on, my break time etc. Usually my break time is from 6:45pm-7pm. The 2 hours go fast from there. More or less. So after tonight, I'll have my 3 days off. I'm trying to save up enough for a iPad pro for Black Friday coming up. As for all of that potential running around all it does is save me about $15. It'll get me out there and I can always get some lunch at City Centre or Corona station. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its no state secret that I'm not a morning person
but running low on insulin prompted me to keep a 10:30am appointment to my Northgate mall PCN. It was cold out there for early October. We usually see temps around 13 +16 in early October. This is mid November weather before the snow flies.
Update: Forgot to mention this but the Edmonton Oilers named Connor McDavid their team Captain. McDavid is the youngest team Captain ever in NHL history. That's why its so significant. Not quite as dramatic as tossing a beer can in baseball but noteworthy for this blog.
Earlier this month our Alberta NDP in keeping with its campaign promise to raise the minimum rage. I could have worked Xentel by home last summer but Notley raised the minimum wage from $10.20 to $11.20. There were unhappy stirrings in the small business community and Xentel pulled the plug on Alberta, laying off anyone working from home. Then this month the minimum wage increased to $12.20/ hour and the small business community is responding accordingly. For restaurants, they will be cutting shifts, retailers will need to raise their prices and lay off staff. This is all because the NDP wants to raise the minimum wage here in Alberta to $15/hour. Thanks to Dan Mullet's FB page for this one
This will have a negative ripple affect as it will lose jobs and further kill the economy already in a depressed state because of low oil prices. This could impact my market research job making it harder to bid for contracts. No contracts no job for me. My job I'm heading to later this afternoon could also be at risk as more and more people outside of this industry test the waters. I had trouble finding a seat last night. I'm $1 more then the minimum wage but next year when the minimum wage goes to $13 then what? I'm just thankful I'll be on full pension a year from now. Then there is the Provincial carbon tax. Hey newcomers, welcome to Alberta.
The other part of today was after my PCN, I wanted to head out to my market research job to pick up a small pay cheque but my pharmy guy was running late and I'd never make it back in time for lunch and head into the job. As it is, I've got enough time to eat a small snack and head out to work. I'll be making that trip tomorrow afternoon in my suite, bank a bite to eat and lodge. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was out of here
about noon earlier to run down to the bank and in at the other job to give them a deposit form.
I'm about ready to head out of here for lodge in about an hour. I also had a bit of a cat nap after I did my banking and I'm out of here in about 45 minutes. I have well built agenda, should be a great night.
Then I'm up and at er at 9am tomorrow for 6.5 hours and hustling out of there at 5:30 to get to the inbound call centre job. At least for that one I'm just job shadowing. That's another 6.5 hours for a total of 13 hours. Including the commute that's about 14.5 hours. on my way home, I'll probably pass out at Clareview. Anyway, that's all for now.
