the great white north...

Well I haven't updated in quite a while... and for good reason too. Some one kicked the extension cord out that was powering my igloo (hence my laptop as well) and I couldn't plug it back in because it hasn't stopped fucking snowing for the past two weeks. Seriously it has been a wicked month for snow fall and my back is feeling every bit of it. There has been two snow days for my wife (she's a teacher) and zero for me. It so sucks working for yourself...

Anyway what pisses me off this week...

Oh I know, I was dropping my oldest off at school and he wanted me to walk him in which I do from time to time when he asks. I normally drop him off in the kiss and ride lane then boogie off to work. So anyway I have to park on the street and since it has been snowing so heavily the last few days the roads are a bit narrower than usual. Well this little bastard shoots past my car and while trying to squeeze between the next parked car and on coming traffic knocks the parked cars driver side mirror off. He doesn't stop and I know he knew he did it because as soon as it happened he took off like some one lit his nutsack on fire. Unfortunately I didn't get his license plate, I certainly would have notified the owner of the car about that. I just hate people like that, they go wreck other peoples stuff then fuck off and don't take responsibility for it. Same thing happened to me not too long ago, luckily I had a good neighbour let me know what happened so I got it looked after.

Another thing that pisses me off is getting sick... I have avoided having any type of cold for just about all of winter until Saturday just past. BAM like a ton of bricks fuck me... It wasn't just me either it was my wife too so we had both kids and both of us being sick all weekend and it was a long weekend to boot, Ontario now has Family Day woo hoo another holiday that small businesses have to pay for... I mean I like holidays and all that but as a business owner I think days like that suck because basically the government is forcing you to either pay your employees a premium to work that day or you have to pay them for nothing. It just pisses me off.

So yeah that's me for today, I'm not pissed off or anything just need to get the stupid shit out of my head...

Cheers

Unfortunately, we live in a sick and dying culture where human decency and sense of fair play went long ago.

As for the holiday: I hope you are all enjoying my holiday. You see, I had a February holiday... one of the few perks of being a nurse was one day in February that I could do things and not have to deal with crowds of ignorant assholes. Now, instead of getting a new holiday like the rest of you, it was just renamed. So, suck it small business and suck it essential services because Susy at Walmart needs a day off.
