Pouring rain this morning, so we refilled our water tank.
Walked the short distance to the Dominion Towers building for my Manpower appointment. They have a lovely office, and the people are very nice, but the jobs still pay about $5 an hour. Signed up anyway, just in case something decent comes in. Instead of giving me hands-on testing for WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3, they gave me multiple choice, paper-and-pencil tests. I haven't had much WordPerfect experience, so I totally blew that test. Did a lot better with Lotus, but still not good enough. I'm sure I'd have done a lot better with hands-on tests. Fortunately, they gave me a hands-on data-entry test, at which I excelled. Passing was 8000 keystrokes per hour. I scored 11,616.
After lunch, I walked over to the Post Office again, but still no mail. Found a grocery store practically next door to the Post Office, so I bought a few groceries. I hadn't noticed that store Monday, when I walked two or three miles to a grocery store.
Roy is still working on the boat and glad to have me out of his hair while he tears everything apart.
An incredible yacht came in today. It's too big to enter the marina, so it tied to an outside wall of the waterfront park, next to a tour boat. It's almost as big as an ocean liner, but it's privately owned. Roy estimates it cost at least a hundred million dollars. Its "dinghies" are $50,000 power boats. They're kept inside the yacht. A section of the side of the yacht opens up when they want to launch a "dinghy". There's even a garage in the stern with a car in it! The yacht is registered in London. Must belong to the Prince of Wales or somebody like that.
