Those of you who follow this blog may recall I currently work at Fido selling cell phones. I recently had to spend an evening (on my day off) attending training for the launch of the new Windows 8 phones. Everyone gathered at a downtown hotel and attended presentations from Microsoft and various phone manufacturers. I…

My friend Jason came through for me again. I told him I planned to go see “The HOBBIT” on my birthday next week and he called a friend and hooked me up with passes to the press screening last night. (Thanks again J, you ROCK!) I don’t do spoilers, so I won’t give away any…

Dear Dad, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how lucky I have been to have you in my life. We didn’t always see eye to eye… especially when I was younger. But we eventually worked that out. You mellowed with age and I grew up. It’s amazing what a…

For those who hadnt read my previous posts, I’m now working for Fido. Fido is a cellular provider here in Canada. Given my fondness for toys and gadgets it’s turned out to be a good fit. My faithful old iPhone 3gs finally gave up the ghost. Insert moment of silence here. So it was…

Hour four of seven solo today. I’ve answered three or four fairly basic questions. Other than that, I’ve read, surfed the Web, thought about going to the pharmacy for Robaxacet (these stools are killing my back), phoned and left a message for Lynn and texted my daughter. For those who haven’t guessed, I’m a little…

Tammy is back in Sudbury, and I’m back at my trailer. We drove up on Saturday, and back to Ottawa on Sunday. That’s about 650kms each way. Since I don’t drive, that’s a lot of driving for Lynn. From the get-go, we planned on stopping at the trailer on the way home. Officially, it’s to…

Today’s post is all about the things we take for granted. This has a lot to do with being home all alone. Lynn, Cynthia and Tammy have taken my dog and run away. At least as far as our trailer. That was another thing on my niece’s to do list, spend a few days at…

If you read the previous post, you will recall the near disaster when when we took my neice to the Museum of Nature Monday. I am happy to report that our trip to the National Gallery went more smoothly. Neither Lynn nor Cynrhia were really interested in the gallery, so it was just Tammy and…

My niece Tammy is visiting from Sudbury, which is very cool. I haven’t seen much of her since I moved to Ottawa in ’97. We are really close, so it’s nice to have her here. Of course, as I mentioned last time, I’ve just started a new job so not much time off during her…

So, my brief tenure at GameStop has drawn to a close. Nothing against them, it was a great job while it lasted. Unfortunately, it was only part time. Not enough hours for me to live on. So when I heard my local Fido store was hiring full time, I jumped ship. Everything is very amicable,…
