  • I left work nearly 12 hours ago.

    , , , , ,

    I’m back at work now. I’m off at 7:00 tonight, barring another 10.5 hour day. Uh, crap on a cracker? The hours I’m billing Dell for are gonna be bloody well insane… ***************** Ladies and gentlemen. When I left work yesterday, it was snowing like hell. There is more snow … Read the rest

  • So yesterday was apparently senior citizens’ day?

    , , ,

    So this week’s work routine started off as per usual at 7:00 or so on Wednesday. And… got very different after that. A guy I work with got shown the door due to cost cutting measures, or so that’s what the rumor mill says anyway. So as of that afternoon, … Read the rest

  • Is this the international day of dialup?

    ,

    I just got finished the third call in a row I could do something with wherein the customer’s on dialup. That combined with the fact I’m not the only one here who’s got that problem makes me think every year or so, there is an international dialup day. And today … 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

  • And this is why I won’t say no to a ride to work.

    ,

    Ottawa city bus kills 3. They say alcohol was a fctor. I say it still would have been a long night for anyone involved. Not pretty when one has to work the next day. In fact, not pretty… in general. As if OC Transpo doesn’t have quite the brilliant reputation… Read the rest

  • Is it Sunday yet?

    , ,

    The calendar says no, but it’s lied to me before. I’ve been back to work for a grand total of a week, and already I’d kill for a week off. It’s been *that* busy this week. Add to that the fact that I’ve actually been making a conscious effort to … 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

  • 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

  • Only doing this job…

    ,

    … can you still sit here on a Saturday morning, working, and still watch Saturday morning TV. Unfortunately you have absolutely no say in what’s on. This guy’s 13 or 14-year-old daughter’s sitting there watching Power Rangers, for instance. And all I can say is my god, I wish her … Read the rest
