Changed 4.5 gallons of water.

Tank filter changed. Didn't have filter for temp filter, so will have to forgo cleaning for now.

All fish appear to be fine.

GFâ„¢ "hinted" that I should take the Celestica position and so I did, mainly to avoid arguing with her.

Been there a week in what's called Packout where I prepare all the boards they send out for Shipping. Working on 2nd shift as well, 3:30pm to 1:30am.

This coming Monday I'm going in for a Soldering class. I took the test a week ago this past Friday and soldered everthing but a large, square, many pinned chip which I was only able to tack down before time ran out. Officially I guess I failed, but given that I haven't touched a soldering iron since last July, I say I did pretty darn good.
The class will be during the day, 7am to 3pm, and I have the option to work late if I so wish. Would be overtime, of course. I'll have to think about it.

Ended up changing out 4 gallons of water.

All fish appear to be fine.

Have to remember next week to swap out filters so I can clean this one.
Also debating whether to move around decor as well.

Well, the highlight for the day was seeing a pigeon inside on the Clubhouse level. Got within a foot or two while trying to get it and release it outdoors. It escaped up to the speakers in the ceiling. While looking up there I saw evidence of previous birds coming in all over the speakers. We lost track of it after a while.

Well, called down on the 29th. Needed points to reserve a table, specifically 900 for opening day.

Called the next day when they said to and made a big goof. Was supposed to reserve space for 4 people as GFâ„¢'s mother is bringing her new BF. Instead, I, being the bonehead, only reserved three spots. Called later in the week, after we had gottent the tickets in the mail, and the only things available were single seats.

I'll make it up another time. I swear.

Well, we got a new fish from a small pet shop where I thought they would have new filter for the Tap Water Filter we use to filter the water for the fish tank. They said they hadn't carried them in years. So, like I said, we got a new fish from them. A malen Platy which at PetCo would have been listed as a Blue Dalmation Platy. This guy just had his Platies all together in one tank, which, in essence, makes sense.

Guy said he could get a filter for me, but it'd take a week to get it in. I'll have to remember to talk to him about other ways to filter the fish water before putting it in. He mentioned a Reverse Osmosis system would be the best bang for the buck over the long term, but we don't have the room for that type of system.

Well, I've essentially been offered the choice between two jobs. Both of which are low paying, but they are jobs. One is working as a Service Technician for Rove Pest Control. The other is as an Electronic Assembler for Celestica through Addecco. This one has a possibility of becoming a Soldering position with more money.
