• 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 me in? Like, um, wo.

  • 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 change. We leave at some point after Trish and her husband get off work. I are already packed and whatnot. Yes, I know, you can faint now. I’m actually not slacking for a change. Now all I need to do is, well, um, not a damn thing. Damn that feels good. I go feed myself now.

  • 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 to hear back from them tuesday afternoon regarding screenreaders and such, didn’t happen. Craptastic.
    • Fired off a couple more applications while waiting. They haven’t so much as said thanks yet.
    • Convergys finally called back. No go on the screenreader. Thanks for coming out.
    • Phoned in another application, emailed them my resume, and actually got an email in return; it was an automated form letter, but I’ll take it.
    • Oh yeah, and Greyhound refused to do, like, anything I want all week. Figures.
    • Dear life: fuck you.

  • Sometimes, being technically inclined is way too much fun.

    I’m hosting a game server for morons. Enough said.

  • The old job, 4 months later.

    They shut down the Ottawa office at the end of June, and now in its latest attempt at saving money, Dell’s asking the employees that are still there if they maybe kinda sorta wouldn’t mind helping themselves to some unpaid time off. Now, uh, I’m just as shakey about this slow economy business and the effect it has on creating new jobs as the next guy. But good jesus criminy, this “oh, just take a week off and let us not pay you, it’s good for you” crap has to go. Like wo. I’m tellin’ ya, if yall didn’t make some pretty rock solid machines (I’ve been sitting in front of this one for coming on 2 years now), I’d be a whole lot more pissed off than I already am. Of course, if I don’t soon get hired somewhere I’m probably gonna be anyway. But in that case it would be Dell’s own fault.

  • New contact info.

    Well, not really. More like years old and recently revived contact info. But oh well. I’ve made a return, unknown exactly how short it is, to both AIM and Yahoo IM. Call me crazy/sadistic/whatever. Or don’t. It’s all over here if you’re curious. I’d retype it all here but, well, I’m lazy. And it’s in the profile. And… yeah. If you want me, I’m reachable. For now.

  • Testing, and whatnot.

    Just checking out a nifty little client I found for the linux console. If this thing works, I won’t need to rely on LJ’s web
    interface while at the parentals’. Gawd, that’ll be nice.
    Note: because I know it’s coming. No, I won’t install Semagic on the parents’ computer. It may fall over dead.

  • It’s a hockey post. You don’t get to bitch.

    Anyone who’s spent 5 minutes talking to me over the last month or so, or even who’s gone and read through either this LJ or my old blog, knows I live and breathe the hockey season. I haven’t been posting about it all that much (well, okay, at all) this season because mostly, I keep forgetting/am too tired/am too lazy/all 3, rolled up into an adoreable little package. Or something. Well, this has to be said. Down 2 0 going into the third period. Against the league’s best, that being the New York Rangers. Less than 10 minutes left in the third and they come up with 5, count ’em, 5 goals in response. I’m not saying they’ll take the cup this year, but damn. If this was last years team, I’d of turned it off halfway through the second period as by that point, it’d be way over. Last night, though? Let’s just say I’m trying to train myself out of the habbits I was forced to adopt for the past couple years watching this team. They keep doing things like that, it’s gonna be real easy to do.

    PS: You’ll note at no point in this entry did I make mention of the 6 5 shootout win they came up with the game before against New Jersey. Again, not saying they’ll take the cup, but…

  • US education system at work? … I hope not.

    A couple of Quebec comedians decided they’d place a call to Sarah Palin. And in doing so, make her think one of them was France’s president. And she fell for itt. No, sorry, tripped and fell for it. The conversation lasted nearly 10 minutes before she was finally clued in that she’d pretty much been had. Um. Zuh? I’d just like to know why it is she or her people figured he’d want to talk to a vice-presidential wanna-be anyway? Blatantly honest question. Are all republicans that… um…well, stupid?
