Hi Uno! Missed you lately, I was wondering where you've been. That is good to hear!

that's pretty darn good!

It's a weird feeling, not having a current passport...it kinda makes me anxious! Like if I slip up and acidentally kill someone*, I wouldn't be able to flee the country.


*DISCLAIMER FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT A FUNNY BONE*!!!! That was a joke. )

Random thought: I just got an email encouraging everyone to "Not buy gas on April 15th"!

That is the most stupid concept! Skip buying gas today and you will surly be buying gas tomorrow!

They say Monday is the best day to buy gas. The prices are always cheaper. Friday and the weekend are the most expensive!

Gas is 128.9 a litre here.

I think that is almost the equivalent of $5 US for a gallon? Good thing I carpool.



I love this.

ha! It's not my office! Thank heavens. Although we have some older men who are supervisor and have been miners their whole lives and get VERY frustrated trying to learn how to use computers now.

The guy who put the entire computer on the copier just slayed me!

And the scene close to the end, where the older man throws his whole computer into the cubicle behind him after getting hit by one too many paper airplanes....the guy who came by and looked at him with his coffee cup looks like the boss from Office Space- was that a scene from the movie?

Not a scene from the movie but it does look like he was digitally added to that clip.

Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Slydell: I beg your pardon?
Peter Gibbons: Eight bosses.
Bob Slydell: Eight?
Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

and my favourite of all:


Bob Porter: Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately.
Peter Gibbons: I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob!

It's inconvenient to have the same same exact name as someone who happens to be on Customs and Immigrations shit list...
