Wedneday
Well it's nice and grey out there today, I'll have to check the weather station to see what's supposed to be up. It's not to bad cold wise here, just at night, so just gotta keep under the sheets.
Today I gotta go out and get my photo taken for my PR card, so I'll wander across the road and see if the Digital Post can do it. If they can't meet the requirements, I'll get it done down town, some one set up a little instant photo shop across the street from the Government Building, where I gotta do my interview. I guess that person thought ahead when he set up that little photo room, I've used him 3 time out of 4. So far doing all this paperwork I have sent in 5 sets of 2 photos for ID, I have only seen 1 photo graph come back to me (my passport), now 2 more photo's, and I assume that one will come back for my PR card. I guess they must be keeping the rest for "WANTED" posters......
So I got another day off today, then back to work tomorrow, yesterday my hands were so beat up and pulled out Roanna's parrafin wax and gave them a dip. Not bad results, I'll have to use it more often on a day off and maybe pick up some cheap gloves. Made some chili in the crock pot, and just relaxed at home, Ian stays indoors....Ian doesn't spend any money.
Today I am gonna try to contact my old bank, I STILL haven't recived word about the money that Air Canada sent to my ex credit card. The bank has been supposedidly looking for it for the last 2 months, but supprise supprise they haven't found it yet. I guess on the flip side, if it was ME oweing the bank this ammount of money, I am pretty positive they would have flown up some leg breaker to track me down and get it back.
Things are going pretty much well for both of us, now that I am working , we are doing a more concerted effort to save money now, get the credit cards paid off, and get some money in the savings account.
I will work the hours given until the first month, then once I am pretty comfortable with the job, look to do more hours. The funny thing about my job (putting out the merchandice) is it isn't done much during the opening hours, so in order to work more, you slip over to another department. Like cashier, or carry out person, I figure maybe slip over to the tire department, see if I can pick up some training and if I like it work extra hours there. Though driving around those forklifts looks pretty fun as well!!! Though I think those people make 4 am!!
Well enough chattering, this weekend we get together with the family, we have about 3 birthdays to celebrate, so planning on a BBQ, though we haven't decided on a menu yet (though I was eyeing up the spare ribs at Costco on Monday).
Keep it safe all
