Got a raise…

Current Mood:

Today was an interesting as I got a raise from the company. I dont know about you but I’m there as a co-op student aka intern so I was a bit shocked that after 4 months, I got a 3% raise. I will definitely want to come back to this company when I graduate. I will also recommend this job for my fellow co-op buddies. So this means I should really get serious with the saving as I want to go back to school this September.

On another note, Vista is coming at the end of this month.. Just informing my fellow geeks out there :ashamed:

Bootlegs

Current Mood:

I was off yesterday so I decided to go to the bank and open a Savings account. The interest is pretty low which I dont mind.. I just wanted to open a savings account so that in the future I have some money. I have yet to transfer some funds from Chequing to Savings. I am still unsure how much I want to transfer. Then later on I went to buy some movies. These are unfortunately bootleg movies that they were selling for 7 movies for $20. I questioned the quality of the movies. You know that saying ‘You get what you pay for..’ surely that happened. I ended up buying The Good Shepherd, The Covenant, The Illusionist, The Holiday, Brokeback Mountain and Night at the Museum. I have not seen Brokeback and Night. But the rest were okay. Good Shepherd was the that had closed to good quality in both audio and video. The Covenant was an utter disappointment since there was green bars on the top and bottom. In The Illusionist the audio was horrible. But like I said, you get what you paid for. I also saw ‘The Alpha Dog’ which is not yet out in theaters and already a bootleg is out there somewhere. Thankfully I dont live close to the place where I bought it since I would buy bad quality movies all the time…
