I then read some comments on the article, and people totally dissed the article and said what I said. I didn't diss the article, but it wasn't that good.
Here's a funny comment: "They can't be serious with article are they? It must be a joke. My tip is if you want to save money, spend less of it. Not sure if you guys have heard this tip before or not, so I thought I would post my genius idea here."

Job: Today at work, I was the only busser so I didn't have to split the tips. I was then told that I would be the only busser on the weekdays, so that's good.
Job search: I talked to this girl at my work, and she told me it takes her 2hrs to get to work. I then gave her this job ad I printed out from my computer that I found when I was looking for a job. The place is closer to where she lives.
I got a call from Platinum Marketing. It wasn't selling, it was at a kiosk providing information to people. It was customer service, and I guess from the ad, I thought it was going to be at an office.
Job interviews: I went to a job interview at a school earlier this week. The guy who interviewed me seemed like my age and he said there were a lot of applicants and that he will call the one who gets hired by the end of the week. It's the end of the week, and he has not called. His name is Nick, and it's not until an hr later after the interview, I thought he may have gone to my jr. high and high school.
I had to satisfy my curiosity and called the place again and asked for him. This young woman picked up and I asked if a guy by his full name worked there. She said no, because in the interview, Nick said only 5 people work there.
Yesterday I did a job interview at a medical office. It was in a building where I did another interview before months ago.
From a job interview I did last month, I learned that I need to slow down my speaking a little bit.
Success videos: I was listening to this "Tim Ferriss: Smash Fear, Learn Anything." He wrote the book: The 4- Hour Work Week. The gist of it is: "What you do, not how you do it is the determining factor. Being effective, and doing the right things. What's the worse that can happen?"
Sept. 10: It's Saturday, and the weekends are often busy. Today it wasn't. Let's switch gears and talk about something else.
The Listener: I saw this episode a few weeks ago. It's called "Eye of the Storm" and it's the second to last ep of the second season. It was a little sexy. It was also the second ep about a politician. Earlier in the season, someone was going to assassinate a politician.
So the Foreign Minister Diane is played by Cynthia Dale and she has a sex tape on the internet. She didn't know there was a camera in the hotel room and she didn't release it. I noticed the difference that there's a sex scandal, but with a woman politician. Even the characters mentioned Elliot Spitzer and how the "tables have turned." Toby and the IIB investigate that it's a real tape, and it's not doctored. There were messages to her political office "You go girl." lol.
FM doesn't know the man in the video tape. It complicates the story more so you have to find the man because he must have released the tape. FM's rival is a Male Politician so he's a suspect. It turns out Hacker/ news reporter Wasserman leaked the tape. They mentioned Toronto, so shout out to Canada.
The IIB finds out that the man in the tape is an escort because they found a Moonlight Companions receipt in his apartment. Agent McCluskey talks to FM about how she met the man. FM says she was at a bar, and a man approached her and they had sex. McCluskey tells her that he's an escort and FM was surprised. She was also embarrassed because she thought that the man was actually interested in her. Toby reads her mind and that's what happened.
McCluskey goes to the escort agency, and can't find the man. She does fined hacker Wasserman who won't give up the source of the video. T reads his mind and sees a USB key. Then at the press conference, an Asian woman news reporter (racial stereotype) questions that FM will be forced out of the govt. The stakes have been raised.
There's a warrant to look through hacker Wasserman's place, no USB key. Here's the funny part. T goes to the escort agency and talks to the woman manager.
Manager: You want to apply?
T: No, I want to hire someone.
M: I'm sure there are a lot of women.
T: No, I want a man.
Me: You're going to pretend you're gay?
T: It's for my wife.
Me: lol.
Cut to FM Diane's husband trade briefcases to Hacker Wasserman. It has all the govt. evidence. The husband said it was architecture designs and Wasserman was a courier. It looks like the husband had the tape.
McCluskey gets a call from Toby to meet him in a hotel. She goes to the room and there's the male escort. Escort says his family won't speak to him after they found out was his job was. He doesn't know Wasserman. FM Diane's husband architect assistant is a suspect because she has access to all the computers. T reads mind and it turns out the Assistant set up the videotape and USB key.
They showed the Assistant in an earlier scene, but she was never a suspect. She then admits she did it for democracy: "The govt. should serve the people, not rule them." That was an unpredictable mystery.
There is a subplot with T's friend Oz and his open relationship. Oz finds out that his girlfriend isn't dating a doctor, but she sees him as her OBGYN to see if she can have a baby. It turns out she can have kids.
The other little plot is that T has been having headaches. His doctor friend Olivia does a brain scan on him, and it turns out T's headaches are due to electrical limits. He uses his telepathy too much, and it will cause strokes, and it will kill him.
Sept. 11: I looked through my old blog posts for the past 3 yrs and I never wrote about the anniversary of 9/11. When I heard about the World Trade Centre, I was in my gr.11 math class. My math teacher told us that and mentioned about War of the Worlds, the radio show where people thought aliens were attacking the planet was real and not just a play.
Then in Creative Writing class, the teacher told us to write down what our thoughts were. I always say my life is mostly influenced by TV. The phrase "terrorist attack", I was familiar with because of the TV show Dark Angel. It came out a year before and it's about a young woman named Max who was raised to be superhuman soldier in a govt. experiment. She was one of 12 who escaped in the world of 2010.
A few months after she escaped, a terrorist attack occured and an electromagnetic pulse destroyed all the computers and wiped out bank records and everybody became poor. It turned the US into a 3rd world country overnight. In a way, that show kind of mentally prepared me, though you can never really be prepared for 9/11.
I thought at least it didn't happen in Canada. This will all blow over eventually and we can go back to normal. 10 yrs later, airport security and there is this underlying fear of another terrorist attack happening. In July 7, 2005, there was London bombings on the trains.
I remember coming home from work, and my brother telling me about it.
Me: Is it a terrorist attack?
P: Yes.
Terrorism is the first thing that came to my mind.
