although im not sure, id be willing to guess that i have another post on here somewhere entitled "pet peeve," so please forgive my unoriginality. apparently i am becoming more like my mother every day (as they say things tend to go) because she is constantly referring to things as her "pet peeves." anyway, that being said, allow me to preface my rant about this pet peeve by saying i dont mean any disrespect to children or to mothers who have to take the bus.
anyway, one of my pet peeves are these mothers who have strollers the size of all terrain vehicles who use the bus. obviously, i am all for alternative/public transportation, and obviously, people with strollers are entitled to the same bus ride as anyone else. but FIRST of all, WHY THE HELL DO YOU NEED A STROLLER THE SIZE OF A SMALL CAR?????? I DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! and second of all, if i am trying to navigate a 200 pound wheelchair in a tight space, like the bus, dont just sit there with your fucking stroller and hold up the entire bus because i cant get around you. get off your ass and move the stroller so those of us with wheelchairs can get off as quickly and painlessly as possible. wheelchair riders already have a rough go, and the other passengers are already pissed off because the wheelchair rider is wasting time getting on and off the bus. dont exacerbate the situation by dragging it out. HONESTLY. i swear there should be a license for parents. the world would be a better place.

Rogers Telecommunications
did you know that corporations are legally recognised as "persons," and are therefore afforded rights? amazing. as such, i feel that corporations, as persons, should be able to recieve verbal/written abuse. so, here we go.
DEAR ROGERS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
YOU ARE A GIANT DOUCHEBAG. YOU KEEP SUSPENDING MY PHONE SERVICES FOR PALTRY SUMS OF MONEY. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO YOU FOR OVER 4 YEARS, AND I DIDNT LEAVE YOU WHEN YOU FUCKED ME OVER BIG TIME ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. I SHOULD HAVE, BUT I DIDNT. IF YOU LOOK AT MY ACCOUNT HISTORY, YOU WILL SEE THAT I HAVE NEVER FAILED TO GET CAUGHT UP ON MY PAYMENTS WHEN I WAS BEHIND. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THAT I ALWAYS PAID YOU IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU DID ME THE RESPECT OF CALLING TO INFORM ME THAT MY ACCOUNT WAS IN ARREARS. APPARENTLY, HOWEVER, YOU ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO CALL ME WITH THIS INFORMATION. YOU JUST SUSPEND MY SERVICE. ITS NOT AS IF I OWE YOU YEARS AND YEARS WORTH OF UNPAID BILLS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 88 DOLLARS, YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SCUM. I HOPE THAT THE RECESSION CAUSES YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE TO COLLAPSE COMPLETELY. I HOPE THAT ALL OF YOUR CEOS GO BANKRUPT. I HOPE YOUR HIDEOUS TOWER GETS CONDEMNED. YOU SUCK AND I HATE YOU.
SINCERELY

Cold and Irritable
i am cold. and i am irritable. what a day. if i had known it was this cold out today, i would have worn the snowpants i have on loan from barb-a-loot. sadly, i didnt get to hear the weather this morning, because apparently my dad doesnt know how to navigate a digital alarm clock and the volume was turned way down. luckily, my mum called around the time my alarm was SUPPOSED to go off, but anyway, no weather report for me. anyway, i got my first philosophy paper back today and i did ok but not great on it. im supposed to be working on my second paper right now, but in keeping with the oldest of scholarly traditions, i am procrastinating. im thinking that im going to rock out on rock band when im done with this post.
in other news, i am in a laundry crisis.... i think im going to have to go get change at some point, because i have to bite the bullet and laundry it up. which i dont want to do. i wish i had something more interesting to say, but i dont. maybe ill come up with something later. *sigh*

For A Short Week, It's Looking Mighty Long
well, yesterday was family day, perhaps the greatest of the made up and pointless holidays, except for perhaps arbor day or simcoe day..... anyway, given that dave quacks at me if i dont take my long weekends (even though i cant really afford to) i took yesterday off and dave and i had a very pleasant and relaxing long weekend together. the condensed version is that we went to his parents' for dinner on saturday night and i made vegetarian shepherd's pie. highlights include the fact that i got to wear my red blouse that i got for christmas and the fact that dave's mum doesnt seem to understand that i do not work with senior citizens. i guess, in her mind, all senior citizens are intellectually disabled, the corollary of which is that she is herself, a senior citizen. sunday nite we sort of accidentally ended up at this HORRIBLE restaurant (i thought it was a deli, because, you know, it said it was on the sign) and then we went to trevor's which was fun. we also stumbled upon the biggest used music store i have ever seen and i was perusing this book of hilarious passive-aggresive notes. and then on monday we drove around. good times.
anyway, so today is tuesday, and of course i keep forgetting that it's tuesday and i keep thinking its monday. this is even more confusing because i shuffled my schedule around a little bit this week for various boring reasons that i wont go into here, so my work day today has not been like a usual tuesday for me.
i picked anne up at 11 and she was looking radiant in this cute white jacket that she has. the coffee that she was spilling on it as she waited for me was particularly striking; a lovely contrast with pristine white, as always. i popped into crazy bills convenience on our way downtown to buy smokes and an iced tea and i shot the shit with the cashier for a little while. then we left and hopped on the bus and invaded barb's space for a couple of hours. nothing too exciting happened there, and now we are at the concession street library killing time before i take her home. as you can see, comrades, this is why the blogging just hasnt been happening lately. all of my days are just a scrambled variation of this one. after i drop anne off, i have to go pick up samantha, who i will be taking to the jackson square library to get a library card and to have some dinn dinns. although we wont be having dinn dinns at the library, obviously, we will be having it at the food court. and by we i mean samantha because i am poor and will probably just have a tea and then eat something when i get home. anyway, while i am at the library with samantha, i need to pick up a book for my philosophy course because i have to get going on my next paper. im a little irritated about this situation. the paper is due next thursday, and our ta wont be able to give us back the first paper we wrote until monday because this week is reading week, so really, we have to at least get started on our papers without having his feedback first. although, i suppose, if i was still at school full time i probably wouldnt even be starting this paper until wednesday night, at which point i wouldnt even have this complaint. but only having this one course has made it very easy for me to get my work done well in advance if i feel like it, so of course ive decided to feel irritated about something that wouldnt normally even affect me otherwise. anyway, this post is getting very long and im boring even myself. so dear comrades, if you are still with me, lets hope that my next post is a little more interesting.

Let's Give This Another Go
my good and noble comrades. it has been far, far too long. so long, in fact, that i doubt i even HAVE any good and/or noble comrades reading this anymore. but, let's not be sad about that, im happy to announce that i am going to try and make another go of my blog. although i still do not have the internet at my house, i am taking one course at school which has me on campus three times a week, not to mention my frequent visits to barb's house which all put me in the proximity of the internet, so instead of just passively reading callie's blog and wishing i still blogged, i shall actually use my opportunities to blog, should the mood strike. apparently, the mood has stricken.
ANYWAY, the saddest news i can think to report is that despite my long and profound silence, not really much has happened since i last posted. i continue to work too long for too little pay, and i am barely keeping my head above water. so instead of dwelling on my pathetic existence, lets talk about blog updates.
the links to the right have been updated. that is to say, callie's current blog is now on there instead of her old one that she never writes on anymore. i made a couple of minor (and probably indistinguishable) changes to my profile. i almost thought my ability to edit my blog had vanished, until i realised that i was trying to sign in with the wrong email account. balls. luckily, that crisis was averted, as is evidenced by the fact that i am creating this post.
anyway, since this post is very technical and boring, i think i will try a new one that is a little more interesting.
