Election Day

Well today is Election day. What a load of farm grade choices to choose from.

Elizabeth May:  all I can say is that she is a nut who screams green but for some reason is probably Liberal Red. Would it surprise me that she has made some more “deals” with Dion.

Stephane Dion: Go back to what ever work had the  regret at hiring you. Academics is not real work.

Jack Layton: Please go back to Toronto. After all it is not like you know what work is. I would like to know what income lever you need to become “rich” so that the NDP can then soak you for every dime.

Steven Harper: about as warm and cuddly as a cactus in the arctic. Please don’t hurt yourself with a smile. Thye medical bills alone should you display some personality would be monumental.

Gilles Duceppe: Don’t we have treason laws somewhere?

The important thing is to Vote. if you don’t vote then don’t bitch as to why things didn’t turn out the way you want it.

Green Shift

Well the Libs this week announced their green shift.  They propose a carbon tax on fossil fuels. Of course they “claim” it is revenue neutral.  I think the only green will shifted is out of my wallet to the government as no tax is ever revenue neutral. They say  they will cut some taxes to compensate. it is brave to propose this in summer but I bet they would never try this in January when you need the heat.

Super Bore!!

Well it is Super Bore (I mean Bowl) weekend. Could there be anything more hyped to produce a nausea inducing game? Is there any reason to have endless hours of inane chatter from talking heads. I mean as much as I like as I like the Fox pregame for most Sundays. Hours and hours of drivel does not impress me. Then there is the legalized gouging for those that want to attend the event.  You can’t turn on tv without some reference to the Super Bowl. It doesn’t matter if the world is falling apart. How many people are aware of the continuing violence in Kenya? Or the battles in Chad? All that matters is the Super Bowl. A sporting event with millionaire players playing for their billionaire owners in front of people who could not find Chad and Kenya on a marked map. So enjoy the Toilet Bowl.

Snow on a Sunday

Well it is Sunday and I am in at work. It sucks working on a Sunday. So while there is some time I figure I would vent about almost anything.  It is now starting to snow. Of course it wouldn’t snow earlier and leave a mess so I could avoid work today. It sucks for storms on a Sunday. So here I sit on a crappy Sunday and watching the snow fall. Of course there is the work.  The joys of having a customer scream at you because they have done something dumb and that there is no fix to it.  For example if you enable the security password on a BlackBerry, if you forget your password there is no way in hell that anyone can override the security feature to unlock it for you. After 10 failed attempts, your data is going to get deleted. Of course there is too much valuable data on it and they have never backed up the device. It sucks to be them. So enjoy the snow.

Another day at the Office

Well here I am working OT at the office. Somebody shake me. I must be nuts. I think my total work week from last Sunday to this Saturday will be a whopping 85 hours. It is Wednesday and I feel like I have been run over by a truck. I suspect by Saturday at 3 pm I will be throwing myself under the nearest steam roller.

 The saddest fundraiser I have seen was today. We have an angel tree in which children of various ages can be provided with a gift for Christmas. It is run by the Salvation Army. Anyways they are having a 50/50 draw to raise money for the remaining ones who were not selected. I find it sad that a fund raiser has to be held in a place where people could spare 20-25 for a gift so that some kid at least has something on Christmas day other than a lump of coal.   I just shake my head.

Some Good news on the Angel tree. All the tags are now gone.  I am hoping it  means people decided to select the remaining tags and breakdown and get a gift for a child. It is Thursday I think. I have done some much ot and work that I think I have lost track of the day of the week. I started this blog on Wednesday and now finish it on Thursday seems to be my pace.
