Ranting Canadian, Print Designer & Production Curmudgeon, and Occasional Smartass. Mostly here for the dog, cat, and baby goat pics… Opinions are my own.
I went grocery shopping and my bill came to $66.66… clearly this is some sort of omen.
Trying to get into our company's Google Drive… Google keeps sending verification requests to my boss's phone. Boss isn't answering phone. Awesome.
Can we stop calling it a "side hustle" and go back to calling it, "working a second or third job because my primary employer won't provide a living wage and/or assign more than 30 hours of work per week so that they don't have to pay anyone benefits"? Sure, "side hustle" is easier to say, but…
FALLOUT 76 update today… 92 GB on Xbox! Whoa! Biggest update I've seen.
Amazon seems to feel that hate-filled comments on "Every Child Matters" First Nations t-shirts "don't violate community guidelines." Alrighty then.
Of course I found the DEAD LIKE ME: LIFE AFTER DEATH movie on Amazon after I purchased the DVD on eBay… Oh well! Saw it now. Gotta say that they didn't do the series justice in the movie.
I think this is like the first weekend in 6 months that I haven't had work that needed to be completed and I'm at loose ends… Just kinda zoned out.
That time when you're waiting for someone to call you so that you know that your new phone is working properly… I already called out, so I know that works.
Locked myself out of my Canada Post account… had to call them to unlock my account. Canada Post: Can you verify your name? Me: [Name] CP: Security question; Favourite author? Me: Uh… Tolkien? no… Thoreau? no… Uh… CP: Can you verify your address? Me: *draws blank* Don't get old, kids.
Finally getting around to setting up new phone… Copying the data between phones is always a worry. Samsung has a neat app to help you transfer data, but it always assumes that you want all of the AI crap turned on… It also assumes that you want to use a digital wallet and I don't…
My brother and his family is driving back from Ontario to BC for the winter and that usually takes 6-7 days depending on how far they feel like driving per day. It always amuses me that it takes like 3 days just to get out of Ontario though. No, we do not travel via the USA for obvious reasons.
It's Friday, so the client closed up shop and everyone went home at 1pm as they do on Friday, apparently… I guess getting these books done isn't as essential as they say that it is…
Remember when they impeached a President for getting a bj in the White House? Yeah…
So I got an unsolicited text from a guy who is running to be the new Mayor of Toronto (because I have an Ontario phone number). Talk about being tone deaf to people's privacy. Nobody likes unsolicited texts to their phone, Brad. Instant block.
So I found out that there was a DEAD LIKE ME movie that came out after the series ended, and of course I just bought it on eBay…

I finished watching DEAD LIKE ME (again) last night and now I want 10 more seasons.
Updating NO MAN'S SKY while doing other things! Wheeee! Another free update.
Donny's $5000 check will say, "Not a real check. No cash value." in fine print on the bottom.
Is everyone holding their breathe that Donny will send them a cheque? I wouldn't.
Client had employee walk out in the middle of the job… 2/3rds done, actually… Client to me: [person] has left the company. We need you to figure out the images that he didn't document for this project. Me: Oh, joy.
"Alpha School bootcamp" sounds like a scheme to separate stupid people from their money…
Canadian retaliatory tariffs kicked in today, so what does the "completely sane" leader of "the most powerful country on Earth" do? Threatens more tariffs. I guess that Americans will be beaten down until Canada complies…
