Wow, its been a long time since I blogged. Why? Because I'm lazy... so lets get a quick rundown of May...

Wow, the way to update this has changed. Man has it been that long??

May 5th I started my first job with the City of Edmonton. Since my mom works there, she got me a job as a courier. It was a simple job that was made even better by having awesome co-workers and a good wage. All I did was deliver the garbage pickup calendars to homes. My driver drops me off on a block, I walk and drop the stuff into the mailbox. EASY!. I got the be the "athletic" one in the group by default since the others were either a smoker, over 40, injured, or out of shape. My leadhand was awesome too. He was a huge hockey fan and everyday he would wear a new hockey jersey. It also allowed me an opportunity to hear about and see the city. I got to hear a lot because half of my team was over 40 and have lived and started a lot of their stories, " I remember when this used to be a ..." I got to see a lot because we travelled to many areas. I got to see some of the more extravagant houses and "trespass" on one of the golf country clubs. Alas, this job ended on the 28th so its time to finally start up College Pro.

As for College Pro, the big thing seems to be patience. The potential to make money is there, all you have to do is endure the student manager and cold calling. Way easier said then done, as you don't actually get to see the manager do anything. Ah well, I've got a good friend Howie there to keep spirits up and I hope to team up with him. As for cold calling, even though we don't get paid for getting out there, I don't completely mind going out there. I usually get at least one lead, my most ever being four. However, it seems the people I get aren't usually interested past giving me their information. That means that fluke ass Anthony's leads have been more beneficial... ah dammit. Anyways, tomorrow I finally get trained for painting so we will see how that goes. Supposedly there is this quiz and shit, but whatever.

For most of you, you'll probably know that in May we started a weekly Monday Night Football game. It was a chance to get out and just be active. We had a few games that went to the point that you didn't see the ball until it was too late. Ahh, good times! It has mostly been football because it was a relatively stamina friendly game. We did get to play ultimate football in a 3on3 situation when many had already left, and needless to say we were all gassed out. Unfortunately, it seems those days have ended because me and Dev finally signed up for AMA driving lessons. I'll miss those times where I'm open in the end zone but butterfinger the ball. Best memories --> Clarence missing a catch and taking the football in the nuts... ahahaha...!

But yes, Dev and I have finally bit the bullet and are now taking driving lessons. Our classroom time is so far on Mondays and Wednesdays, and driving times are relatively close although that doesn't matter. Tentatively, I finish sometime in early July. Yay! Also, note this, we got 5% off because we came together. It was one of those "bring someone" and get __% off.

Also, May was the month of birthdays. So.... in no particular order

Happy Birthday Dev!
Happy Birthday Kason!
Happy Birthday Ranald!
Happy Birthday Jenn! (although I think its actually in June... dammit I suck!)
Happy Birthday to the person I possibly could have forgotten.

In other news, new cellphone! 966-5082! Whoa whoa, settle down there old creepy man... not for you to know...

So now that we are more or less caught up, I think that is all for now. I'll try to update this thing every 2 days and hopefully make the content readable and significant... (=
