Wow, I just had a great two hour long walk, and the best part is is that I accomplished absolutely nothing! Yay. I decided to go pay off my phone bill today, since my ex-roommate told me that he had finally paid his part. So I figured that since today was a relatively nice day, that it'd be a good chance to get that done, and then I could get the ( Read more... )

Wow, I really need a car. I just got back from the Super Store, and I am completely soaked. When I left home, it was not raining, but it sure started before I got to the store. Wow, I was dripping wet when I got in the store. It wasn't really raining that hard, it was just that it was windy too, so that the little rain that there was was directed ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I last updated. Now I suppose I should think of something interesting to post about ( Read more... )

Well, I've got a long weekend ahead of me, but I won't be going home. It would have cost me about $110 round trip to go home. It's kind of pricey, but still very reasonable. However, the train will take 8 hours both ways, so it's just not worth it. I'd be spending more time traveling than relaxing at home. It would have been nice to see the family ( Read more... )

Well, Wii's release and price point were finally revealed. It'll cost me $280 plus tax for the system, and then another $60 for each game. The system is a bit more expensive then I was hoping, but it comes packaged with Wii Sports, so that kind of evens it out. I probably wouldn't have picked up Wii Sports otherwise, but I'm happy enough with the ( Read more... )

Wow, I got in the car today after work today to hear on the radio that there was a shooting at a College in Montreal today. Apparently at least 15-16 people have been injured --6 of them critically-- and there are at least two dead. There have been a lot of conflicting reports, but it sounds like there were two different shooters. One began ( Read more... )

Work has been okay so far. I haven't gotten another chance to ride in that jeep, or even go underground for that matter, but it's going okay never the less. It is a bit boring though. All I did last week was read over the last Co-op guy's report and go through his data. It's not exactly captivating reading. Luckily I've had a few random Excel files ( Read more... )

So I had my underground orientation the past two days, so that I'll be certified to enter the mine on my own in the future. The first day was a little slow. We went thought a big booklet on mine safety and watched a video. After that we walked around the mine for a while and went to the shops to see the guys repairing and servicing the mine ( Read more... )

I had my first medical exam in like... Well I can't remember the last time had a medical exam, to be honest. Anyway, they had to do a bunch to tests to make sure that I'm fit enough to go underground in the mine. They took a blood sample, tested my blood pressure (it was excellent apparently), timed by pulse, tested my eyes (they were pretty good ( Read more... )

My ride to work was supposed to arrive by 7:15 this morning, but by 7:25, there was still no sign of it. I was starting to get worried. Missing your first day of work doesn't seem like it would make the best impression. Luckily, they were just having trouble finding my house, and they showed up shortly after ( Read more... )
