Merry Christmas

I am no doubt currently grumpily awake, thanks to children ‘quietly’ expressing their Christmas joy. Soon, I will be consuming masses of breakfast food and chocolates and candy from stockings. Then the preparation for the dinner begins. Oh yes, dinner… No doubt you are all dealing with your own holiday travails. Enjoy them, all!

Welcome to the approach to Christmas!

Hellz yeah, bitchez! These are the gloating words of a man who finished his Christmas shopping two weeks ago. Yes indeed, I have finally learned the lesson that getting it over and done with as quickly and efficiently as possible is a winning strategy. I get to relax, and I don’t need to worry about

November 18th, A Day That Will Live in Infamy…

For it was on that great day in the year 2011 that Cliff did finish his Chri9stmas shopping for that year. And there was an outpouring of emotion… And Cliff did exalt in his joy at not having to face the crowds of people son to infest every single shopping area in the land. Seriously,

Apparently I’m a Somebody?

Well, my fantasy football team is 3-5 and pretty much done (as usual, the team I chose to chronicle is the one whose season went down the shitter). Work continues to be a Hellish nightmare, as everyone panics and tries to change the way things are done without any sort of plan being put in

Exercising Frustration

Holy crap, a post NOT related to a fictional football team?! IT’S A MIRACLE! Yes indeed, it’s a ‘something else’ kind of post. Just something that I’ve found myself wondering this evening. Why do I tend to seek out that which annoys me? An example : I often complain about gamers. I sincerely believe that

And as the tattered remains of another challenge flutter in the wind…

…I try to come up with a decent ending for this sentence. What the Hell was I thinking? I can’t do smart! Everyone else had a post that they announced as their cop out post. I haven’t done that. Until now. I saved it for the last day, because I’m tired. But anyone can write

Return of the Quick Hitter : Hit Quicker!

Another collection of quick thoughts. -Well, I had been dreading the company barbecue on Thursday. And it actually turned out to be pretty awesome. They do not screw around! They brought in the old Natco barbecue trailer…it’s part massive grill, part connected deep fryer, part connected boiler/steamer contraption, all wrapped in awesome and diamond plate.

More Horton Updates!

Yes indeed, I have again heard back from a TDL Corp. representative. I had asked how they can advertise as being ‘Always Fresh’ when they’re shipping frozen product (and then apologized for being overly critical, which kind of sickens me. See how much pride I’m willing to swallow for you people?! All that to try

The Horton Responds!

Well, not the actual Tim Horton. He has been dead for quite some time, after all. But yes, after my screed against the abominable lie that is their ridiculous ‘Always Fresh’ campaign, I wrote them an email. I asked simply why they advertised as Always Fresh when that simply wasn’t the case. I expected no

A question of focus

Time for a sort of ‘self realization’ type of post. Um…yay? I have long had this habit of at times focusing so hard on something that I pretty much lose my awareness of anything else going on around me. Think of it as Bizarro ADD. I’ve always failed miserably at jobs where, when things are
