How long will this call go?
it’s pretty much quarter past 2. I’m off in just over an hour and a half. Can I stretch this call out that long? Would it be in my best interest to do so? If it means I can get outa here relatively on time… hell yeah. So… would I? … Read the rest

The 2007 Ottawa Santa Clause parade…
Well, I do have to say–regardless to what I actually thought about last night’s parade, it was still significantly better than last year’s Pembroke equivalent. That, of course, in the sense that the child we’re forced to affectionately call my brother’s fiance was, in fact, not present at this one. … Read the rest

My coworkers are evil!

How does a man who’s opposed to the 1 hour lunch…
… waste time for the duration of a 1 hour lunch? Well, it sure ain’t on Facebook, as certain individuals who shall remain nameless would prefer it to be. Apparently… it’s dropping random blog posts about what to do on a 1 hour lunch. I… have nothing. I haven’t even … Read the rest

Schedule my lunch at 10:30, will you? I’ll show you…
Ha. Got this call at 10:25 or so, and have so far managed to streetch it out to 11:00. Hopefully we can hit closer to 11:30… y’know, the actual lunch hour. And then I’ll only have 3.5 hours left of my shift. Suh. Weet. Who says I don’t know what … Read the rest

When I bought it, it was warm.
Of course, I bought my coffee at 6:30 this morning. And I ended up not finishing the thing until 10:15, when I could actually get off the phone long enough. I’ve taken a grand total of 2 calls so far, and one of those ruined a perfectly good cup of … Read the rest

Wherein my opinion of relying on other people gets more confirmation it doesn’t need.
So remember when I was looking forward to the day shift because I could catch the decent buses going to and from work? Well apparently, they neglected to make that the case on Saturdays. Now, Sundays is understandable–bus service sucks on a good day then anyway. But I distinctly recall … Read the rest

Well now. That was cold.
The walk and subsequent bus ride to work, that is. Uber, freaking, cold. Somebody must hate me. It’s not even January yet, either. Ladies, gentlemen, and people of indeterminate genders, I officially hate winter in Canada. And it’s neither snowed nor actually become winter yet. Bloody hell times 6. I … Read the rest

I might actually get used to this.
After going for an unplanned workout last night, and subsequently not getting to bed until about 1:30, you’d think I’d be slightly more tired than I am right now. That whole… 2.5 hours of sleep thing. But, surprisingly, I’m not. Perhaps not surprisingly considering I just regained consciousness–I expect I’ll … Read the rest

And I complain about missing my hockey games this year…
apparently someone up there heard me. starting next week I go back to working days. And the sweet shift, to boot. If… you call having to work Sunday, of all freakin’ days to work, the sweet shift. But at least it’s 7 to 4. As opposed to 11 to 8, … Read the rest
