Apr. 16th, 2015 03:59 pmTalk about waiting for a bus and then two come at once, shortly after i posted the other day about thinking i had someone to video the wedding, i discovered that the partner of one of my coworkers not only does video but is a pretty damn good editor as well! AND they are already invited to the wedding! I emailed the other guy and he hasn't got back to me yet but I told my friend to say yes to her partner bringing his camera anyway, it never hurts to have a second person taking video and he said he'd put all the video together and make a nice dvd of it. So even if the first guy doesn't email me back, i'm covered and if he does, I have backup! I don't want to put the first guy off since he's offering but on the day I'll mention that another guest says he's bringing his as well. The more the merrier, I say!
That's off my mind at least.
Now I think we're good to go! Little things that are left are not show stoppers.
After work yesterday I went to the EAstlink store (local cable company) and changed my mobile phone over to them. Telus wasn't willing to give me the package that I wanted to get, they don't have anything cheaper than 70 dollars for a minimum data package plus the "tab" to pay for the new phone, plus taxes so you're looking at about 30 dollars more than i'm paying now. And it's just not worth it to me! Eastlink has a basic package with 200 mb data for 35 (normally 40 but i get 5 off for bundling it with everything else), plus 15 a month for the phone for two years. Plus taxes. But then, They had a promotion on and because I've already got my landline, cable tv and internet with them, they basically waive the mobile package base price and are only charging me for the phone. How they do it, though, they
take $40 off my other bill and at the same time i get a second bill for the mobile services for 55 plus tax. They don't combine the two bills, not yet anyway, it's two separate entities apparently. Sounds complex, i know but I've still worked it out and with taxes it will still only cost me about 18 dollars more a month for all the services over what i'm playing now for the Eastlink services.
My old Telus bill was about 50 a month give or take. Doing the math, overall, I'm going to be paying out about $25 less. In two years, when the phone is paid off, the mobile bill goes down $15 unless i turn around and upgrade again. If it's working perfectly well, i likely will keep it.
And what did i get? I decided on a Samsung S4 which is actually 2 models older since they've just come out with an S6 but which was much cheaper because of it. The S5 would have cost $150 up front and the S6 was about $250 or possibly more. The camera on the S4 is better than the one on the Nexus 5 which was my other choice and it's got facility for external storage which the Nexus doesn't. I like that.
I found an awesome phone case on eBay that i've ordered. There is actually two in the package, but it's for the one that i decided on it. One has a Tardis under some brightly coloured clouds or some sort of thing and it's nice but the other one has a group of minions looking out the door of the Tardis! See??? It's more awesome than an awesome thing! God I love eBay sometimes!
