Now that’s what I like to see.
CTV actually covering something useful/interesting, as opposed to the usual shtuffs that goes along with Iraq being on the front page. A 13-year-old autistic kid, Carly, who I’ve mentioned on occasion, now actually wants to do something on her own to start making people aware of exactly what it’s like … Read the rest

And 4 makes too damn many.
We went in to visit with my grandparents this afternoon. ‘Cuz, you know, it’s that whole Easter thing so it’s sort of expected. And inside of about 15 minutes, cousins started showing up. With kids. Under 6. Now, personally I love kids. Just… not those ones. They were bouncing off … Read the rest

Oh my. Why am I still here?
We have way more people waiting for calls than we do calls coming in. I get off in 11 minutes. I have requested to be released early. Yet, I am still here, doing that bored thing where I kinda sit here and brows for thingies to read in order to … Read the rest

We didn’t have *that* problem when I was growing up…
Schools will ropen next week after fears of rooves collapsing due to too much snow. Uh. I only had that happen once, and itwas out in BC. and for the record, the whole of victoria shuts down when you get half a foot. And all they did was pretty much … Read the rest

They should make drinking on the job legal, just for one day…
Sadly, I don’t have the time to get as hammered as I planned to tonight, thanks largely to the fact I’m off at 10 and get to go back in tomorrow morning at 11. I shall have to rely solely on funblindsinger for my vicarious living pleasure. In the meantime, … Read the rest

Yeah, this job’s way too easy.
“This diagnostic says it’s broken. Here, let me replace it for you.” That’s been the motto of the day for me. I’ve only had one call where I actually had to think, and that was only in the minor aspect of figuring out how best to walk the guy on … Read the rest

And I work, per chance to stay awake.
I was right, twice. Rightness number 1: I am not entirely interested in dealing with hardware support; very little thought actually involved, in most cases. rightness number 2: it’s subsequently putting me to sleep. Give me a week or two. I’ll coast through it like nothing else. And then I’ll … Read the rest

In case I’ve not said it yet, I have no interest in being a hardware tech.
So how I’m managing to stay awake during this training is completely and utterly beyond me. But apparently, I am. Looky that. The sooner this training’s over (5:00 can’t come soon enough!), the better. ***************** I had links for posting and ranting about. In a fit of absolute moronicness, I … Read the rest

Someone’s been cooking something awesome all day.
It’s a small apartment building, so if someone downstairs starts into the cooking, it gets up here in a real hurry. I never bothered taking any kind of time to learn to cook–it’s just me, I’d be cooking for 1 on most if not all occasions, so what the hell … Read the rest

At least it was only 2 bucks.
So we finally got around to trying to get in and see Untraceable last Tuesday, except thanks largely to the fact poor Trish is currently minus a vehicle, we were left at the mercy of OC Transpo, whom I’ve bitched about on an occasion or two on here. Now, not … Read the rest
