Even Canadians don't care about what happens in Canada. But if it happens in the US of A it's NEWS!
Hey now, yesterday was the start of the NHL draft and almost the start of free agency season! What's this about the States?Even Canadians don't care about what happens in Canada. But if it happens in the US of A it's NEWS!
....How did you divine that that was about sports?
That's the only NHL that would interest my dad 
Our cat barfed all over our cable box and down the back of our big tv. The cable won't work and it stinks like fried barf. I am dreading calling for a replacement.
We can't lose a second one to baked in barf, so we will have to try something like that.
Not with THAT attitude!

Damnit, I need a new job, and I hate looking for jobs. This place is fucked and getting fucked-er, and it's already made it to the point where I dread coming to work every day. I used to love my job, it was fast-paced, it was challenging, and it was fun. Now the pace is recklessly insane, the work is less challenging and more stressful and angering, and what used to be fun has turned into a need for Zoloft and alcohol in my life like never before.
I know part of that feeling.
At least this time I'll have a job while I look for a new one. It beats the stress of not having a job, with bills piling up and rent due and all of that other crap, and being so desperate that you have to take the first crappy job that comes along.
But it adds the extra stress of having to find something "better", not having the time to properly make up your resume, visit, research the company you're applying to, etc etc, plus it can leave you burnt out after a stressful day at work AND searching for jobs to do anything else whatsoever worthwhile.
I mean, yes, it's better than being unemployed to look around, but not all that much.
Repeat after me.
"If you don't pay the fucking invoices from our fucking vendors I cannot get you any of the stuff you need to build cabinets."
Don't come crying to me when you don't have the materials you need, when I fucking warned you that this was coming up, and begged you to pay the bill, and contacted the vendor, and made special arrangements to allow you to delay even longer, and you still didn't fucking pay them. And don't you fucking dare call me out in front of all of the managers in the morning meeting because you didn't bother to fucking read the report that you asked me to put together, detailing exactly where we were with all of our vendors.
And this is only part of the reason that I'm looking for a new job.

I think the winters there would be a little hard of a sell, plus that whole issue where your governor is a complete asshat. I'd better get a bit more serious about my job search though, it looks like my company is currently hiring for my position, as of 2 weeks ago.

This is only a minor rant but it feels like more.
- Get profit sharing from work.
- Go shopping. Like lots of shopping. We went to 5 different stores.
- Get phone call saying the delivery guys would be here in 7 minutes. Not 30 like they were supposed to. At 11 PM.
- Scramble to take food out of old fridge.
- Old fridge to garage, new fridge in place.
- Spend a lot of time taking off plastic and foam.
- Read that you can't put food in the fridge for 24 hours because it's not to temp.
- Take all food we had set out to the garage fridge.
- Go to bed about 2 am.
It's pretty awesome looking!

Truthfully, I can't stand the freezer at the bottom. There's not as much room, everything gets squished together instead of handy dandy shelves and you can't put in ice trays. Why ice trays when we have a dispenser? Because we don't have a copper water line to run water to the fridge so we can't use that feature. Why get that model if we can't? Because we rent and are looking to move to a newer place.
We have two.Standalone freezer master race reporting in.
(had our own and then we moved in with her dad)
One of them is currently still on extended loan to the local Eagles lodge or some such. He let them borrow it about a year ago. I should probably ask for it back, if only to remind them of ownership.

Apple updated the music app on the iPhone for the first time since basically the iPhone was invented, and for some brilliant reason they got rid of shuffle all. I use my phone for an iPod more than almost anything else and this is annoying. Yes I know the workarounds, but still. Seems pretty stupid.
Yeah... we have a big freezer downstairs. It more than saves it's cost in electricity through buying meat on sale and storing it for later.
I miss our old one too, @Dave. Too bad we don't have any room in the garage - or that it would have been a PITA to move out of the basement of our old condo.Standalone freezer master race reporting in.
