For all of my faithful readers who took the time to read my last entry, you’ll know that I had an appointment to re-take my G License Drive Test earlier this morning. First of all, let’s get something straight: Paul Ritter does not get nervous. Nevertheless, I found myself being somewhat nervous for this driving test (I wasn’t nervous at all the first time I took it, and I figure the reason was because I had failed the first time). Anyways, I woke up this morning with quite a nasty feeling in not only my stomach, but also my bowels (yes, I went there). To my displeasure, the feeling did not go away after having a shower or eating, but my appointment was scheduled just before lunch and there was really nothing else I could do but do it anyways, regardless of how I felt. On top of not feeling well, it seemed like things just weren’t going my way all morning; I parked in the same place as I did when I did the test for the first time, and went in to go sign the papers, but to my surprise, the Drive Test Centre was no longer there! So I went into SportChek next door (meanwhile, time is ticking away) and asked the sullen-faced employees behind the desk where it had been moved to. After discovering that it had been moved to the complete other side of the mall (in less than two weeks, might I point out), I booked it across the parking lot and signed the forms as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they had yet a new spot for vehicles to park, so once again I ventured back across the vast lot of parking to my Jetta and hauled-ass over to their dedicated parking spots. I must have waited for about 15-20 minutes before I saw another car approach and pull into the spot beside me. As I looked into the car, I was both shocked and appalled to find that the drive tester was the same broad that I had when I took the test for the first time (the very one that failed me). Needless to say I was pretty upset, as I was expecting a repeat of my previous performance. As she left the vehicle, the driver got out and wished me “good luck” and we got into a discussion about how she had failed me the previous time and how she had just failed him on his G1 Exit Test. After a few more minutes of waiting (more…)
To all my fantastic fans, as well as you creepshows that read my shit for absolutely no reason, I decided to post a little update of my Easter weekend thus far.
So basically, I got home Thursday night, had dinner, and went over to my Jilly’s house. We watched TV for a bit, then went out to Tim Horton’s to get some coffee and such, and you’ll never guess who we saw there…needless to say, it was certain individuals that we may dislike more than others. Trying our best to avoid making eye contact, we got our shit as quick as possible and blew that popsicle stand. We went for a drive around North Bay, discussing issues of the day, the latest gossip, blah blah blah. It was fantastic 
Unfortunately, I had to get up at 5:30 the following morning in order to drive down to Kingston to pick up my sister, then drive an hour back to Belleville where we had a ginormous turkey dinner at my aunt’s house, played a hilarious game of Balderdash with the cousins, and finally stayed overnight at my grandma’s house. This morning, I was awakened by the most foul of odours; the self-cleaning feature on the oven. If you’ve never smelled or experienced the sheer awfulness that is the stench of an oven cleaning itself, pray to whatever God you believe in (or to all of them; hey, it can’t hurt!) that you never do. Now, first off, let’s get something straight here: I’ve smelled some pretty bad shit in my life. Literally. Yes, there are numerous smells that I do not appreciate (say, a fart, for example), but there aren’t too many odours that instantly activate the gag reflex in the back of my throat (the only other that comes to mind is the smell of certain whiskey, if you heard about my “Alberta Premium Night of Terror” adventure (I refer to it as an adventure, but I really don’t remember much from it)…let’s just say, my roommate and I invented a game similar to beer pong but based on mini-basketball, and I woke up the next morning still shitfaced and with the biggest and by far the worst hangover of my life…after having (as I was later told) spent most of the night lying on the bathroom floor in my own bodily fluids (more than just one type, if you know what I’m saying)). Anywhoo, back to the matter at hand… (more…)
So, as it turns out, I was able to dig up my math test mark this evening and apparently I did a lot better on it than I was anticipating…to my surprise, I somehow managed to pull off an 89! Now here’s the part where I’d say all the studying paid off, but, to be honest, it really didn’t. In actuality, I think the more I studied, the more I confused myself. Oh well, either way, I’m happy with that.
I spent most of this evening reading my VB chapters and doing the practise test over and over again until I (once again) memorized all the answers for the available questions. Obviously I’d rather not have anything to do with it but hey, that’s life I suppose. After I was done that, I watched I Am Legend…overall it’s not a bad movie, I suppose, as far as those “zombie/virus/infected” genre movies go (the 28 Days/Weeks Later series are still at the top of my list and aren’t going anywhere soon), and let’s face it, who doesn’t like Will Smith (I’m watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air right now, bitches)? But, as with all movies (especially with me), there were parts that I didn’t like, which I will now bitch about…*spoilers below… (more…)
Let’s recap yesterday’s events. Why? Because I can. So, as you might have guessed from the title, I had a pretty busy day yesterday. First of all, I had two back-to-back tests (one in NOS-Network Operating Systems, the other in math), which I had been studying intently since Sunday night. I wasn’t too worried about NOS because I read through all the chapters it was on (as dry as it was), and it all seemed to be pretty straightforward business. On top of that, my professor opened up a practise test that we could write as many times as we wanted, that used actual questions that would be on the real test…so as you might guess, I obviously wrote the practise about 30 times until I memorized the answers for every question. Basically the test was stuff about print servers and devices, spooling, as well as Group Policy and Active Directory services. Woot. If only math were that easy. Unfortunately it was on stuff to do with converting decimal to binary, hexadecimal, and octal, and vice versa, etc. On top of that, it was arithmetic in these other number systems, and something called “two’s complement” for negative binary numbers, as well as using 4 bytes (32 bits) to store a binary number via the IEEE standard. Like, hurray. (more…)
