I didn’t think they’d leave it alone.
Way back when, I ranted the hell out of the prospect of Quebec actually being considered a nation. And I distinctly remember saying if and when that day gets here, they should have no say whatsoever in how the *rest* of Canada is run. So what’s the Bloc Quebecois go … Read the rest

The unknown element is still unstable.
Vesa Toskala. The man some have pinned their hopes and dreams for this season on. The man who, in spite of the fact he’s still not got a whole lot in front of him–we just happened to score more goals on Saturday, that’s all–still pretty much proved 2 losses against … Read the rest

I promised you a rant, and here it be.
Warning: this could get very, very long-winded. Possibly requiring it not be posted until the end of my shift–taking one look at how busy we are right now (35 people currently on hold, just for the record) with about 20 minutes before I have to actually start, it might take … Read the rest

Even Dell technicians hate Dell technicians. And Sympatico, and Microsoft, and…
Welp, as some of you know and others of you guessed I’m sure by now, the formerly Vista and now XP computer is up and running. Well, partially. No wireless network support and there’s still a rather lengthy list of devices Windows doesn’t have drivers for. But I’m slowly piecing … Read the rest

You don’t know this person? That’s okay, here’s some junkmail.
Moron. Of. The. Year. Canada Post has given me reason to conduct all my business via email. A new policy has been introduced, with no shortage of resistance, that pretty much means any junkmail that shows up there, whether the person it’s intended for or not actually lives there. Brilliance … Read the rest

This is America’s scientific future.
It took a university level student to come up with a study that pretty much advertises the obvious. If gas prices go up, people won’t drive as much, and will lose weight. yay obvious! Give this man a Captain Obvious award! Oh, wait… I guess we should actually see this … Read the rest

T Hos lifts the highschooler ban, highschools become babysitters?
If I were still in highschool, I’d probably be given a bit more reason not to be. Now, I think I’ll start planning my coffee runs based on how close the Tims is to the local highschools. A tim Hortons restaurant made the rather smart decision to force highschool students … Read the rest

And from the ultimate idiot 2007 category…
Y’know, I don’t like repeatedly asking questions made mandatory by the US either, and I live in Canada. But I wouldn’t be quite going to these lengths to protest it. My opinion on the US’s terrorism policies and whether or not Canada should be in line with them doesn’t really … Read the rest

because 2 weeks is long enough.
Of course, when you do as much in 2 weeks as I’ve somehow managed to do in *this* 2 weeks, yeah… it’s long enough with no updates. Let’s see… where best to start. Vell, I could always start with the usual, easy routine of what had me so busy that … Read the rest

Oh glorious stupid call.
Not only are 95% of people who call me idiots, they’re also cheap/expect things handed to them. Evidenced by the guy who proceeded to screw up his system, complete with oh my spyware up the wazu, and then demanding pretty much that it be fixed for free. Yeah, that’ll happen. … Read the rest
