Things that pissed me off today.

The things that pissed me off today. There will be other things on other days as always..

1. Bad drivers. Why are there so many of them? Give me a gun so I can shoot out their tires.
2. Bad parkers. They put the lines there for a reason. If you can't do the lines how did you get your licence?
3. Bus talkers. I have talked about this before. If I wanted to chat with you I wouldn't be wearing my headphones.
4. Slow walkers. Really slow walkers. Are they secret millionaires that have nothing else to do?
5. People who use their blackberries in a meeting. Is your time more valuable than mine?
6. TV Commercials. About 2% of them are good, the rest assume we have the intelligence of a tadpole. This is why I don't watch TV.
7. Whiners. Nuff said.
8. Too many restaurants that serve crappy fried food. Who eats this shit? Why are they still in business?
9. Long lines for anything. I don't know about you but I won't stand in line for ANYTHING!
10. People who think that the world revolves around them. As if! At the end of the day, they will only be remembered for the selfishness. How sad.

I feel much better now.

PS, water is down, dock is in, boat is ready to go!

Green Shirt Day

So yesterday was Earth Day. What a great idea. Raise awareness, get people involved, give some project funding for earth friendly activities, wear a green shirt....

Wear a green shirt? What does that have to do with Earth day? My point exactly!

Yesterday....workplace....wear a green shirt and receive a special earth day gift. Woohoo. Now tell me again what wearing a green shirt has to do with Earth Day?
So I arrive at work, not wearing a green shirt as I don't have any, and when I asked what the special gift was I was asked where my green shirt was!

My response....I wash in cold water, I hang my clothes on the line, I compost all vegetable materials, I don't use fertilizers and my whole garden and lawn is pesticide free! NOW GIVE ME MY GIFT!

Happy earth day :)

A little boldness is good for the soul

The big melt is over so today I'm going to rant a bit and talk about the bus people from Mars. I say they are from Mars because they can't possibly be from around here.

Here is the typical daily scenario:
The first persons to get to the bus pick-up area generally should be the first in line on the bus. Not so at all. At least half the martians wait in their nice warm cars until the bus shows up, then go right to the front of the line. Where in the hell did they learn this? It you did this at school you had to go to the back of the line. If you did this at a concert you would get your ass butt-kicked.
Not only do they go to the front of the line, they hurry to pick their favorite seat, and then proceed to hog the seat beside them by dumping all of their baggage there.

These people are all adults. Adult martians no doubt.

So, why am I taking the bus anyway, and why don't I suck it up and quit whining? Good question. I drove 100 km a day for almost 20 years. When I first started to drive it was no problem. 20 years later the traffic is, well, you can imagine. I was going to buy a gun and start shooting tires out. So that is why I'm taking the bus.

So I should suck it up and quit complaining? Nah, what fun is that? Today my friend and I decided wtf, and we quietly got out of our cars, we looked at each other and without saying a word we knew what to do...we both went right to the front of the line.

Only in Canada

Only in Canada, where you can put on your hip waders, get in the water and push the ice out, and come inside and watch a hockey game..
