The World from Right Now - Part 4

... it back, and then call "[the order] up!" when it's done. Yeah, I did that. Mind you, I really only had two different orders to pick from (a single or a double). But I needed to have them out in order. Like, yeah; I could have five doubles and three singles to do, but they had to come out: double, double, single, double, single, double, single, double. So it was a handful.
I kicked ass though.
:P

Anyway, I'm finishing off my last drink of the day. I plan to watch some of the last season of 24 (I'm kind of upset it's all over) and then I'll head to bed probably.

I have to remember to get bus directions tomorrow to my interview on Monday. I need "Katie's" comupter for that. God knows if it'll work on my Playstation.

Later!

... share plan) you need to call or go into their store. I find it irritating. I'm not really a huge people person; much less a phone person, so that makes it all quite annoying; especially as I used to be able to look at the plans and set it up online.
Something tells me it was also easier for the customer service people too.

Anyway...

Yesterday I worked a shift for the Ranch. We were at the Navan Fair. Who knew Navan had a fair; certainly not me. I worked thirteen hours at a conscession booth. I pretty much made fajitas for thirteen straight hours. My hands (and wrists) officially hate tongs. And when Jasmine (my co-eyecandier) was on break; I got to work the cash too. Woo... (Oops, I forgot the "hoo!")
I made all proper change, remembered orders, and added prices (without a calculator, cash register, or the price list). I'm THAT good. And when I was on "the line" sticking together fajitas; I called them out like in a kitchen. You know, like you see on Hell's Kitchen; the chef calls an order, you call ...

... on their website, and none of the positions are marked for Ottawa. All are in Missisaga (I know that's spelt wrong). So really, I'm somewhat lost.
I know they got in trouble recently in the states. They jipped a load of people. The equated a therm (an energy term) to a gallon, and charged people a whole lot more for gas than they should have. They got people to sign contracts for several years that were like cell
phone contracts. "Leave us and pay us a LOT of money," deals. Don't you hate those?

Speaking of cell phone contracts. Miss Ashley's is up around Chirstmas (and mine in March, I think (still waiting on word from my provider)). We wanted to use Bell ('cause they're awesome; need I say more?) and thought, "Well hell, we plan to be together for - well, the rest of our lives, and; it'd be a whole lot cheaper (in the long) run to do a family plan." Unfortunately for me, I can't check pricing on that online.
It's silly, I used to be able to, and then the site changed; and to do a family plan (or a ...

Holy, it's been a while, no?

I've been keeping busy. Work at the Ranch has been more frequent than usual. Baseball's really died down. Summer hockey's finished for - well, the summer.

I resigned from the Ranch - officially - today. Sent an "e-mail of resignation." I sent it to the guy who hired me, who lives on the property; the woman who runs the office (pretty much) and loves (like a son (in-law)) the shit out of me; and the current scheduler. Since they were the highest up people who I received any contact from, I figured they'd be the right people.
I also asked their permission to use them as references. Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?

I have a job interview (with a company called Just Energy) lined up for Monday morning. I'll be taking the bus. It's downtown, and I dunno about parking. It'll be one of the questions I ask when I get interviewed.
I learned a little about the company. They do gas and electrical energy. I'm not sure which position they were interested in me for.
But I looked ...
