So to review,
27

01:39
when you sign up for something, it means you put your name
28
99132
3003
01:42
on a piece of paper or you give your name to someone who's organizing something.
29
102368
3938
01:46
You sign up because you want to do that thing, and when you sign in,
30
106306
4037
01:50
you can either sign in to a computer or a piece of software or a website
31
110343
4004
01:54
or your email, or you can sign in like I described at an old age home
32
114848
4271
01:59
or another place like that where they need to see your name when you get there.

43

02:26
So that was actually two weeks ago.
44
146079
1968
02:28
I was speedy that day, but then I wasn't very speedy or responsive after that, was I?
45
148047
5206
02:33
So I do want to thank Berevilson, thank you so much for that comment.
46
153653
3337
02:36
That is awesome.
47
156990
1168
02:38
And, you know, I always like to explain when I take a little bit of time off
48
158158
3903
02:42
what I've been doing, not that you guys need to know, but a few things.
49
162462
4638
02:47
One, I had some stuff I had to take care of normal things,
50
167100
4304
02:51
like I had to file, finish filing my taxes.
51
171404
3003
02:54
And then there was some additional paperwork afterwards that I had to take care of.
52
174607
3604
02:59
We didn't get audited, but something similar to that.
53
179646
2469
03:02
We had to provide some additional receipts.
54
182115
2836
03:04
And then a couple of things to somehow
55
184951
3337
03:08
I agreed to teach an extra class at school
56
188288
3503
03:12
just for the last few weeks of the school year.
57
192392
2702
03:15
I can't give you all the details about why that happened,
58
195094
3037
03:18
but there was a French class and I'm now the teacher.
59
198464
3237
03:21
So instead of teaching part time, I'm
60
201701
3303
03:25
a little closer to full time again, but just for a few weeks.
61
205004
3337
03:28
And don't worry, it's pretty manageable.
62
208341
2736
03:31
It's a grade nine French class, something I've taught many times
63
211077
3237
03:34
before in my life, so I'm not overwhelmed or anything.
64
214314
3136
03:38
And there were a few other things that I don't I'm not going to go into all the details,
65
218184
3270
03:41
but it was really nice to just put hit the pause
66
221454
3971
03:45
button on YouTube for a couple of weeks so I could get a lot of stuff taken care of.
67
225425
4137
03:49
So anyways, I'm back.
