Can I be a government know-nothing when I grow up?
So I finally got through the thick wall of bullshit that turns out to be the Canadian government’s tax division, only to be… yep, right where I was before I started calling. Glad I did it on my lunch hour, I am. At the end of the two conversations I … Read the rest

Public service announcement: email may be borked.
It works for the moment, but god only knows how well or for how long. If someone comments/emails and I don’t respond until insane late tonight, that’s why. You’re not being ignored. Unless you deserve it but you already know who you are.

Bleh.
So I finally get around to opening the letter someone stuck in my door last night, uh, this morning. And it turns out ye ol’ landlord has decided to up my rent by $25/month. I’m already taking it on the chin a little bit as it is considering this here … Read the rest

If I could drive, I’d turn in my license.
Two and a quarter just to fill up by 2012? Per liter, just for the record. So for you US people that translates, roughly of course, to oh my fucking expensive. Oh. My. Fucking. Expensive. Note to self: we’ll just walk to work from now on, give folks one less … Read the rest

Wherein James kicks ass and takes names.
I now have several job applications, excellent criticism of a resume (thanks, murlynns_view!), 3 work related references, and 1 or 2 non-work related references as soon as they get asked. Which means tonight, there be the mass firing off of applications. If things go according to plan, I’ll have … Read the rest

Then she’s a frickin’ moron.
Woman lied about abuse to teach boyfriend ‘lesson’. So since she’s already sitting in a jail cell until her boyfriend’s trial, are they gonna do anything about her filing a false police report?
