Just working out the work week

as I have today and the weekend trying to escape the cold. The good news is we slip back down to single digit temperatures for Saturday and next week. At the moment its -27 but feels like -32.

After 6 months and 2 weeks I just finished "Way of Kings." Wow. No spoilers in this my initial reaction. I have book 2 but that's 1,250 pages of fantasy and I want to give that genre a bit of a rest. I bought a trilogy of books all in one go. "Equations of Life" by Simon Morden. So, after my ei business later this morning, I'm going to finish my "Way of Kings" update and try this trilogy. This series looks like its in a contemporary setting. I wonder if there's any reference to new American fighter plan the F-52?

Unless by some miracle it looks like the Oilers are out of the playoffs, unless they can pull off a 8-10 game winning streak. The Oilers this year seem to win one game and lose 3. Though they got off to a bad start with a lot of injuries, even after some of those injured players returned, the Oiler could never recover. Maybe next month they could make some trades, tweak the system a bit and play for next season. Tonight they play in Arizona and then again Saturday at Rogers Place arena. Anyway, that's all for now.

I lost another job but

it was a job that I never got paid for. They tried me on for 3 days. The first (Monday) day I got no sales and I wasn't expecting any. Then the last hour of my first day they put me on leads. My job was to call businesses and ask if they would be interested in receiving a short email proposal. My 2nd day at Medlaw was to continue on with asking to send out email proposal's. They said to send them out regardless of weather the decision maker approves or not. Then after about 2/3rds of that day (Tuesday) I asked the boss if this was "legal," to get the email proposal's out as unsolicited email. He said no, I should be pitching only the decision maker. I probably could have got 20 out a day in that case. Sending out these emails unsolicited sounds like spam to me. So at the end of the day yesterday, the supervisor said my flow rate for leads was too low to keep me. Tha's ok. I couldn't see myself up at 6am every morning taking the 7am bus and then the train and the #5 and then transferring to the #3 up there by 107th and 124th street every morning. 

Out of working at Medlaw I got 3 job leads. I'm going to contact one of my other employers to see if I can start working from home. Its $11 hour. I'll be doing that today. The thing with Medlaw and Crime watch is at least Crime watch paid me. I'm glad I'm out of Medlaw or whatever its called. Anyway, that's all for now.
