I need to go back to work to get some rest.
So I went back to Pembroke this weekend to give my parents a hand with decorating their Christmas tree, and–well, duh–because my mother was baking and well… enough said. We ended up doing that, finishing my Christmas shopping for the most part (ideas for Christmas gifts for mom, anyone?), then … Read the rest

Oh how I sometimes despise thee.
I should have taken this morning as an indication. First, as I said last night one of the buses I need for my insanely early shift doesn’t run as early as I need it to, so I’ve had to improvize my way through figuring that out. Needless to say it … Read the rest

Since when did my apartment become a crash pad?
So, as she’s wont to do, mom decided on like 48 hours’ notice that she’ll be staying at my place tonight for a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. And then, that she’d just kinda sorta wait around ’til I get off work tomorrow night. And then on 3 hours’ notice, apparently my … Read the rest

My opinion of relying on other people remains uncontested.
And this time, the no contest nod goes to my ISP for taking for freaking ever to escentially flip a switch. I’d originally got told before I moved up here that I’d have everything activated by the 6th of this month. Okay, so that’s not bad. I can live with … Read the rest

Hey, there’s no more screaming kids…
Quebec must have gotten what they wanted, and ended up being recognised as a bloody nation in and of itself. Well, on the bright side, now that leaves the door open for the next government to take away any federal assistance they’ve been getting, just like any other province in … Read the rest

This dog of my brothers…
Is really making me reconsider whether or not I want kids. It’s a good thing I don’t plan to sleep. Too bad same can’t be said for my parents, who planned to be on the road for Ottawa tomorrow by 5:30 tomorrow.

The 2006 Santa Clause parade.
As we do every year, a good portion of my family–that being a couple of my aunts, a few cousins, my mom, me, and now my future sister-in-law–took in the traditional Pembroke parade tonight, the first time in a long time they actually held the parade in the evening. Not … Read the rest

A job update.
Because people have been asking. There’s absolutely not a damn thing that’s changed since the last time I mentioned it, though. I’m still waiting for paperwork to land in my mailbox. Paperwork that I was told would be there by early this week at the latest. Well, now it’s a … Read the rest

They’re playing with semantics again.
So first, Quebec is a nation. Then, Quebec is not actually a nation, just its own separate entity within Canada. Then, it’s a nation as a society or however the hell the liberals kinda half-assed put it as. And now, thanks to mister Harper, we’re back to quebec is a … Read the rest
