Weekend randomness, and ODSP is ultra evil.
The latter is obvious to anyone who’s actually using the service, but I’ll get to that momentarily. Jess and I spent the majority of this weekend thus far kicked back and relaxing. She graduates on Thursday, so we’re sort of trying to gear up for that. Also, because we haven’t … Read the rest

The next great Canadian FAQ.
I’ll freely admit, a lot of these answers are still hillarious as hell, and I’ve seen this come across my inbox a few times. The sad part is, even before we were ready to play host to the 2010 olympic games, while I was doing work at Dell, I actually … Read the rest

This is college. This was me in college.
Anyone curious why it is I didn’t decide to take my parents up on their strong recommendation that I become an English major need only read this. Sure, it’s intended somewhat to be humourous, but sitting in some of the classes I actually managed to go to while I … Read the rest

Still in the website revival process, apparently.
When I opened up this site again for actual regular use for reasons beyond just collecting dust and as a place to test whatever cool new toy I happen to be considering implementing, I noticed that even though I hadn’t actually *used* the site for its originally intended purposes in … Read the rest

The more random and stupid the email, the better.
And I’ve been known to get some pretty decent random, and stupid, emails. I got this one last Wednesday.

I get the most random of emails.
Of course, most of the random emails I end up getting turn out to be spam, but some are still rather amusing. I got this one last night, for the third time this week and from the third different address this week. From: spam@email.address.removed To: my@email.address.removed Date: Mon 09/11/2009 3:40 … Read the rest

I thought it was just a 24th-century thing.
Apparently, I now stand corrected. Scientists have discovered antimatter. Well, sort of. The Fermi gamma ray telescope picked something up they’re calling antimatter when it observed a lightning storm. Don’t look now, but we may yet be heading for Star Trek days in my lifetime. Probably not, but hey, … Read the rest

The Canadian stereotypes are true!
When most people who haven’t actually had anything really to do with Canada think of us, their first impression is often of us sitting around, snacking on some poutine, and sucking back a beer. Which, depending on which part of Canada you’re talking about, probably isn’t all too far from … Read the rest

If ever you find yourself wondering why I so love call center jobs…
You need look no farther than moments like this. Not mine, obviously, but good lord I wish I could take credit for this. No Tickey, No Watchey Call Center | Ontario, Canada (I work in the billing department for a cable company. One day I took the following call.) Me: … Read the rest

And sometimes, forwarded emails can be fucking hillarious.
Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading Canada , Albertans will no longer be referred to as ‘Rednecks.’ You must now refer to them as Rocky Mountain/Prairie Canadians. And furthermore HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT: 1. She is not a ‘BABE’ or a ‘CHICK’ … Read the rest
