My one and only bief with Greyhound. Bitching and moaning ahead.
Surprisingly enough, it’s not to do with accessibility. It may or may not have anything to do specificly with customer service. But it’s largely to do with their technological issues, of which they have a shitload. One that’s been hanging around on the long term since at the very least … Read the rest

Things I learned that manage to surprise me.
In list format, because lazy is me. Microsoft can, in fact, make a program that doesn’t die horribly when you try to add something extra to it. They just don’t do it very often. Clearly, some people’s definition of accessibility is far different from mine. This is why we have … Read the rest

Tax time: the era of secrets and surprises.
And I see no reason for this year to be different. Jessica (samari76) asked me what I was doing last night, because while I was talking to her and Gina (nightdrake), I was also busy plugging away at the computer. At first, I thought about just … Read the rest

As is to be expected, after my last post Jessica (samari76) and I pretty much just hung out and did that thing where we were several different kinds of lazy. Y’know, like we’d planned on doing. Sunday was her departure date, so we just wanted to enjoy what … Read the rest

Dear Greyhound: Die. In a fire.
Greyhound.ca is still busted, apparently. But the good news is, I can, apparently, hopefully, buy it over the phone. For $20 more tacked onto the price. Um. Buh? Do the vacation gods not want me to go anywhere near that border? Understanding not I am. Does somebody maybe wanna clue … Read the rest

Road trippin’!
It’s only as far as Pembroke, and it’s only for the weekend, but… eh. Whatcha gonna do? I go bother the parentals tonight, come back late-ish on Sunday. I’ll try to post a time or 6. But, y’know. If not, I might actually stick to updating twitter for a bloody … Read the rest

James 0, life 2.
List format, because I’m lazy and everyone’s heard me curse enough on this thing this month. Fired off an application for Convergys on Monday evening. Called back on Tuesday (unusual, given it’s rememberence day), right at the ass crack of 9:00. Gave the usual I are blindy shpeel. Was supposed … Read the rest
