When you start crying about what the Conservatives are doing to BC, remember that only 48.1 % of registered voters got off their asses to cast ballots. The Cons scooped 48% of that 48.1%, which means that only 23% of actual voters wanted Cons to run the government. The other 52% were just stupid.

I bought a giant bag of frozen broccoli and now I have to eat broccoli with every meal because the damn bag takes up too much room in my freezer! Good thing I like broccoli.

Now I'm getting a whole bunch of robocalls out of Toronto because I have a 416 number and there's a city election going on… Eeesh.

Brother: I need you to help me hang this curtain rod! Me: OK. Do you have a drill, a level, inserts, and screws? Brother: Uh… Let me look. SIL: It's done. I did it. Brother: Wait! What? Me: Hahahaha.

Some people only learn by experiencing the negative or detrimental part of their decision first-hand… Once BC starts feeling more like Alberta in about 6 months, a bunch of people who voted angry will be saying, "Wait! I didn't vote for THIS!"

My first five (TT)RPGs played: Did nobody play HarnMaster or RoleMaster? We played the hell outta those after we did some major AD&D…

BC Provincial election today… Let's see it the NDP shot themselves in the foot by calling an early election.

(Yesterday) Purolator: We tried to deliver your package but you weren't home! We'll try again. No call. No attempted to deliver slip. No email. (Today) Purolator: We delivered your package! Again, no call. No email. Awesome customer service.

So now Micro$oft is trying to circumvent my Office2021 license by forcing me to get an Office365 subscription when I updated Excel… Not on my watch!

Facebook: Why do you keep logging out every day and deleting your cookies so that we have to keep verifying you?! Me: Gee… I wonder why…

They need to start naming and shaming the companies who are doing work for Donny. Which company tore down the East Wing? They are just as responsible as Donny is. They would have known that it wasn't right, but they did it anyway. Same goes for the company that cut down all those trees. End them.

Air BnB Host: We're gonna want you to completely clean the place and then we're going to charge you a cleaning fee! Air BnB Corp: We're banning that practice. Air BnB Host: UNACCEPTABLE!! Air BnB Host: OK! Before you can check out you must SHINGLE MY ROOF!

Someone in Western Canada won the big $90 million LottoMax prize, but it wasn't me… So I guess I can go back to hating everything again.

Amazon sure is spending a lot of money telling us Canadians how much that the average Amazon employee makes in an hour… Or that there's extra training available to them at no cost… Is Amazon feeling guilty about something? Hrm.

Dear Grocery Chain: No, I am not interesting in "rounding up" so that you can claim a charitable donation that was paid for by someone else. How about you offer a "round down" option so that we can save a few pennies now and again?

Weather App: 12°C right now. *goes outside dressed for 12°C* *melts* It's gotta be like 22 out there! Where are you pulling app data from? Hell*?! (*contains some commentary on the Alberta referendum)

OK, I have to go out and get a lottery ticket because the jackpot is 90-feckin-million tonight… I mean, I only need $1 million, but I'll take whatever they give me.

I guess that the Florida MAGA should expect to receive a bunch of Alberta separatists now, eh? I mean, if you're not happy in Canada… If I'm not happy some place, I leave.

Today's INDEED job posting to me is a position selling cars for GM here locally. "No sales experience? We'll train!" Claims to be paying $180,000 a year… I'm assuming that they left out the words, "potential for" before $180,000 for a car sales job… How many cars are we even selling here?

"Future fun Roadster demos will include some idiot trying to fly, the vehicle landing on it's roof in a crowd, and unaliving 10 people including the driver."

Donny is now actively working with Russia to destroy Ukraine, in case anyone was unclear on that fact…

I wonder how long until the first Tesla roadster launches itself off a bridge and/or bursts into flames…

Remember during COVID when the grocery chains screwed us all on prices and blamed COVID for the increased prices but at the same time they were posting record profits, and then never really dropped their prices after COVID? A $12 Pepperidge Farm cake remembers.

Client: Our storage is full. Please wait a few days until we get it sorted out. We'll contact you. Me: OK. Client: We fixed the storage issue. WHY HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY UPLOADED ALL THE THINGS?! Me: Cuz… I was waiting for you to let me know it was sorted?

Look, it's 2026… You'd think that we could fix to issue with microwaves making food 8000 degrees at the outside and still frozen in the middle… Get AI on that shit.

We've reached that time of year when a hoodie isn't enough and a hoodie with jacket is too much, so we wander around either too hot or too cold…

So apparently the bears are very active now in our region and there have been 3 or 4 grizzlies sighted here. Apparently the other night someone's horse got eaten near the edge of town… Probably not a good idea to go on night walks right now.

Trying to upload files to Client's Sharepoint and I get a "You have exceeded maximum storage limits!" Cool that large Publishers don't purchase enough storage when they want to store archives "in the cloud."
