EI update, cable services, and my credit score

So Employment Services called me yesterday afternoon. After asking me some ridiculous questions, she said she would have to contact my previous employers to verify everything that I had said was correct. She didn’t know how long that would take, so she wasn’t sure when my claim would be finalized. I really really hope this gets done by the end of the week.

I got a call from Shaw Cable today, and signed up for high-speed internet and basic cable for about $60/month. Plus, there’s a promotion going on where I get a free modem. I’m happy with that … and after reading all of your responses about whether you have cable or not, I think I’m going to keep my cable. I want to keep my entertainment costs to a minimum here, so if I can catch the game at home, that saves me from going out to a pub, or taking public transportation over to BF’s. They are coming to do the install on Monday after 6pm, which is super convenient because Monday will be my first day in my new place.

Also, I really really want to check my credit score. I haven’t checked since last March when it was 727, but I’m scared. For some reason I feel like my score is going to disappoint me. But it’s not like it can be worse than 727, right? When I last checked, I was still in debt. Now I’m not. And I haven’t applied for any new credit, so it only makes sense that my score would be better. Hmm.
