Arkayn's life

Long week coming up

Arkayn — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:30:34 +0000

Next schedule I only have 1 day off and some even more interesting shifts.

Off Wednesday,

7AM Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.

5AM Saturday.

Weird weeks upcoming

Arkayn — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 02:11:59 +0000

My schedule for the next month is probably going to be completely different than normal.

The people who normally work in the buffet and salad bar are taking the entire month of March off to go visit family in El Salvador.

Next week I have Wednesday and Thursday off and then work through Tuesday. 1 day of Meat prep, 1 day of prep and 3 days of morning buffet.

After that it will be completely up in the air.

Work

Arkayn — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:25:06 +0000

Hours going up a little bit.

Next week I am actually scheduled for 5 days of work instead of 4, of course I have split days off!!

People looking at the trailer

I hope this place does not sell all that fast as I really do not want to have to pack it all up and move somewhere else.

New Windshield

Arkayn — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:52:45 +0000

Just had my windshield replaced this morning.

It had 2 large cracks, one on either side of the windshield.

Bunch of little stuff

Arkayn — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:19:37 +0000

Still waiting on my refund, but it should be in Friday.

Had to replace the low beams on my car as one died in the last couple of days.

I thought I had fried the logic board on my 530S while trying to do a case transplant, but turns out it might have been a short to ground as it fired right up when I put it back into the original case. Now I have a case and a logic board to work with for something.

Looks like my hours should go back up a bit as we are losing one of our cooks here in a week.

Taxes done

Arkayn — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 19:38:11 +0000

I just finished filing my taxes for last year, used Intuit taxfreedom to file both federal and state for free.

Almost done with changeover

Arkayn — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:09:41 +0000

I have canceled DirecTV and tomorrow I will be stopping by Frontier with the modem and canceling them.

Also tomorrow I will be getting the PCI tuner card so I can get back to recording the shows that I want to watch when I want to watch them.

After that I plan on reorganizing the living room as I want a slightly different look in there.

Switching things up

Arkayn — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:08:36 +0000

And now I have plans to dump both Frontier Communications and DirecTV and go with my local Cable provider.

Frontier(Phone & Internet/3MB down):         $90.00/month
DirecTV(Basic TV and Starz):                 $73.00/month

Total                                       $163.00/month

Golden Valley Cable & Communications
Expanded Basic & 3MB down                   $100.00/month

I use a cell phone from Boost mobile and have no real need for a home phone.

Water heater working again

Arkayn — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:50:48 +0000

I had a lovely weekend, lost a computer and the water heater at almost the same time.

The computer was a PSU, the water heater was a thermocouple.

Now I just have to wait for the water to heat up and I can take a warm shower instead of the freeze fests that I have been doing.
