I should not be allowed to think before 9, ever again.
Bad things happen. For example, yesterday. I went to work, which ordinarily wouldn’t be all that big a deal. Except I saw the exact same warning I posted about yesterday, in preliminary form, on Saturday. I guess I should have got the hint when the first three words of the … Read the rest

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

Could the Leafs be looking at a whole new lineup next year?
It really couldn’t hurt. While earlier today I did refer to them rather directly as a steaming pile, there are a few faces I’d love to see stick with the team while the rest of it gets blown to hell. Immediately coming to mind is Sundin, but only because at … Read the rest

Sympatico pisses me off again.
For the second time in just over a month, my internets decided they would go south on me. Not pretty. It happened sometime between when I woke up at 5, rolled over, checked the time, cursed, and went back to sleep, and when I finally dragged my ass out of … 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

If at first you don’t succeed, sue and sue again.
I’ve been finding an aweful lot of stupidity floating about the headlines lately. Almost scary, really. Article of stupidity number 1054? Fred Goldman’s lawyers will continue to go after O.J. Simpson, no matter how his robbery trial plays out. At first, the article spelled serious grudge/vendetta. Which, okay, the guy … Read the rest

So this morning. Hella freezing. Why?
That pretty much summarizes it. Yesterday, it was bordering on springlike weather. At least to the point where I thought about taking 5 minutes before the bus came and throwing my jacket back inside. This morning? Freaking, cold. I walk out my back door and across the parking lot to … Read the rest

The Hilton effect strikes again!
Did she receive special treatment? Survey says… quite probably yes! Why else, after all, would miss Lohan spend a grand total of 84 minutes in a cell for a DUI charge that’d quite probably wind anyone else up spending a whole lot more? Even Paris, for all her moronicness and … Read the rest

I wouldn’t mind seeing that proof.
Apparently, according to a recently published study anyway, this here federal government of ours is adicted to temps. Which, also according to this here study, hurts… just about everyone else’s chances of getting their foot in the door. Of course, to this I have only to say–uh, no, not really. … 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
