Should I still be tired?
My mind says no, but my body says hell yes. I got in just after 11 last night and was in bed by midnight, only finally crawling out of bed for good about 25 minutes ago. This just may be a job for extra caffeine. Going to work today is … Read the rest

International woops day, perhaps?
Idiots a-plenty. And as I’ve often maintained, they will systematically be eliminated from the gene pool. Idiot number 1: New York City pimpinator. Bad idea: being caught in the middle of a prostitution ring with topic of things like, you know, elections in the wind. On behalf of Canadians everywhere, … Read the rest

In case I’ve not said it yet, I have no interest in being a hardware tech.
So how I’m managing to stay awake during this training is completely and utterly beyond me. But apparently, I am. Looky that. The sooner this training’s over (5:00 can’t come soon enough!), the better. ***************** I had links for posting and ranting about. In a fit of absolute moronicness, I … Read the rest

And this, folks, is why I’m glad I don’t live in Quebec.
What. The. Hell? Quebec axes the sex ed class in favour of spreading it throughout the rest of the cariculum? Le sigh. Silly little french folks. Only you would decide kids don’t mind going from an intense algebra lesson into a little segway all about the birds and the bees. … Read the rest

Should this amuse me half as much as it does?
ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE IN THE UPPER OTTAWA VALLEY AND NORTHUMBERLAND HAVE RESORTED TO SNOWMOBILES FOR TRANSPORTATION. It’s official. We have way, way, way too much snow around here. Someone south of the border should just come on over and nab half of it. I wouldn’t complain.

Selling out to the Americans again.
The biggest monopoly on Canadian telephone and DSL service is apparently set to become the biggest US owned Canadian monopoly. Thanks largely to a ruling courtesy a Quebec judge. There are no words for this. Except, that is, a thank you. You see, I didn’t think the government could sell … Read the rest

And now, an actual update.
Because while it was a pretty accurate summary of my opinion of the current situation on Monday, it doesn’t really do a whole lot of explaining, well, anything. So here goes (warning: the below is probably going to be an essay. Deal.). So back in November, they transferred a lot … Read the rest

Still way too frickin cold out there.
As I told the whacky bus driver this morning–yes, that one was behind the wheel again–it’s minus too damn cold outside. I heard in the neighbourhood of -23. I don’t care. It’s still minus too damn cold. I wanna go back home and to bed. Because bed is awesomely good.

What’s worse than fixing Microsoft’s mistakes?
Fixing apple’s. What’s worse than fixing Apple’s mistakes? Fixing that which they already know about. For the record, I never want to get that involved with anything Apple related again. And this from a guy who’s got a well documented hatred of Microsoft. But at least their software doesn’t break … Read the rest

My computer sucks…
It’s a sad, sad day when you work for a computer company, doing tech support, and your computer goes on the blink. Mine’s already developed this nasty habbit of restarting for no real apparent reason. And now while making someone pay me to fix their brokenness, my computer started to … Read the rest
