This is where I check out.
I have no idea why I think of about 3/4 of the things I do. But apparently some random part of me finds it amusing. I will seak help immediately. ***************** Winter storm warning for: City of Ottawa” Someone tell me they can see why I seriously thought about the … Read the rest

Only doing this job…
… can you still sit here on a Saturday morning, working, and still watch Saturday morning TV. Unfortunately you have absolutely no say in what’s on. This guy’s 13 or 14-year-old daughter’s sitting there watching Power Rangers, for instance. And all I can say is my god, I wish her … Read the rest

I have officially lived in Ottawa for a year.
Well, actually, over that now. Over that by… about a week. Which means I’ve almost had internet access from Ottawa for a year. I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d keep my relatively little sanity when I shoved my almost life into boxes and got the hell out of Pembroke.… Read the rest

Oh. My. Lord.
I don’t know whether to be extatic or frightened. So I’m a little of both instead. There was, at one point this afternoon, 63 people available to take calls. Even now, less than 5 minutes later, there still sits 54 available. If I’m lucky, I’ll take *maybe* one call before … Read the rest

‘Crunch’? My parking lot does not ‘crunch’.
At least, it sure didn’t yesterday. But apparently, someone thought they’d be funny and dump a whole crapload of white stuff on it this morning. And in my half-asleep-ness as I usually am, the fact that it was late November didn’t immediately register–so I was, understandably, a tiny bit confused … Read the rest

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!
A direct conversation in an employee only chatroom not 5 minutes ago. Evil Coworker: it’s snowing, folks Me: bite your tongue. i gotta walk in that. 😛 Evil Coworker: join the club Snow. *Before* I have time to go home and sleep. Wicked evil cruel. People like that should be … Read the rest

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
