TRANSFORMERS
Yesterday (July 2 2007) my new to the internet techie father decided he would check for movie postings online. This on its own is quite impressive, it seems like day by day he’s learning something new about the internet. It feels just like yesterday we we’re trying to teach him where the on button was (ok, ok not funny I know). Any ways back to the point of the story, he found a sneak preview of Transformers playing in Guelph! We decided to check into this posting and call the theatre and low and behold it was indeed the entire movie playing at 8pm and 8:30pm but only a limited number of seats were still available. Me being the techie guru took the reins and ordered 2 tickets for the 8:30pm show and guess what? WE GOT THEM! The movie was awesome, even better the ability to brag about seeing the movie a day earlier then everyone else who has been drooling ever since the trailers started playing on TV. Its for sure worth seeing in theatres and I’ll be going again to see it before its off the big screen.
LOST WALLET
As anyone ever lost their wallet? Well it happened to me the other day. I went hunting for my little foldable leather thingy that holds money, credit cards, and other important things. After two hours of searching the house and car I deemed it missing and started making phone calls to the various credit card companies who had rented space in my wallet, ok so I wish they paid me to store their cards unfortunately I owe them far more then rent would ever cost them. The more phone calls I made the more cards I remembered I had. So far all cards have been candled and new shiny cards are being printed and sent to my home, to be delivered within 2 weeks so I can continue spending money that I don’t have. Seems like the hardest card to replace is going to be my outdoors card (fishing licence) they simply won’t do it, plain and simple I have to go get a temporary sheet of paper printed until my actual card expires at ome point in 2007 only then can I get a new card. What really baffles me about this is the fact I could easily (within 5 min) get a replacement social insurance card. YES you read right, I can get a replacement SIN card in 5 min for $10 but I can’t get a replacement outdoors card isn’t the government awesome? Who would have thought replacing ones wallet and contents would be so expensive Here is a breakdown of the cost:
New driver license $10
New SIN card $10
New boat license $21.15
New Outdoors card (temp paper sheet) $10
New Heath Card $10
New GoodLife membership card $20
New wallet $30
Gas to drive to all these different palces (Georgetown, Guelph, Oakville) $ don’t want to think about it!
Cost of learning to NEVER lose your wallet again PRICELESS (You knew that was coming)
WORK
I’ve been assigned another student security officer at work train. I must admit that I enjoy training, nothing like testing your knowledge of the job like teaching someone else. I find myself reminding myself just a year and a bit ago I was the trainee holy crap how did I learn all of this? Either way all is going well at work, still no word from OPP except to confirm my PREP testing fo July 4 at 12:30pm, yes its been six months since my last physical testing so its retest time, shouldn’t be too horrible, I’ll post tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes.
NEW WEBSITE
So I was really bored the other night, as I’m sure you will realise once you read the domain name of my new site. I decided to put together a site with a ton of flash games to help pass the time while I was bored and hopefully help others who find them selves bored in the future. The new site is
http://www.iamsoboredrightnow.com
Yes thats right I actually got that domain name, check the site out and let me know what you think. Here is a link to my favourite game so far. I got 375mph try to beat it.
