Baby, it’s cold outside.
Another Friday morning which feels more like a Tuesday morning. And another freakishly cold morning. Thank you wind chill for making -12 roughly translate to -19. And now you can go right to hell. And now they’re threatening me with snow. I thought I evicted you yesterday? I’ll say again, … Read the rest

I despise Microsoft Office 2007.
Well, actually, I despise Microsoft. But Office 2007 for specific reasons. Primarily, it should not take me, who knows his way pretty much around Office products for the most part like the back of my hand, an hour and a half to figure out where the hell they put this … Read the rest

Satan invented winter. Only explanation.
I made the stupid mistake back in December of showing up to work when I had plenty of warning about a “significant” snow storm that later turned out to be hell, blanketed in white crap. This morning, Environment Canada has released a statement about two potential major storms, one from … Read the rest

Winter, we need to talk.
I’ve let this little conversation of ours go unhad for way too long, and it shows. Not only are we being hit with snow on average of every second day, but now you go and throw at us temperatures upwards of -18, *before* wind chill, on top of that? And … Read the rest

Mother nature doth hate me.
Why else would, out of 3 days I had off, it picked the 4th day when I work to decide there’s going to be a freezing rain and flash freeze warning? Winter, you and I haven’t had that long and drawn out conversation yet. Does this have to be the … Read the rest

24 hours without phone service.
I was hoping I wouldn’t have to take the day off to actually have this delt with, but apparently, someone over at Bell needs to be called back, blasted, and then properly instructed on how best to fix my freakin’ phone line so it actually works for more than an … Read the rest

Why am I paying for service I’m not getting?
For the third time this month, and the second time in 2 days, I presently have no home telephone line. Which, for whatever reason, has no effect whatsoever on my DSL service. My overall pissedness with the ISP side of my phone company is already well documented, but I’ve yet … Read the rest

I hate to say I told you so, but…
Well, okay, so I don’t. And I did. There’s no real such thing as “medicinal marijuana”, there never was, and there never will be. And this is only really proven by a supreme court decision that, really, should never have had to happen. But, thank you again, Steven Harper, for … Read the rest
