I forget

I have a terrible memory. I regularly lose my keys, my purse, I always accidentally leave things at people’s places when I’m visiting them. I have been known to leave my oven on overnight because I forget to turn it off when I’m done cooking, or leave my hair straightener on all day because I […] →Read more

Support My Hockey Team!!

So, speaking of Vegas, want to support my hockey team to play in a tournament there? We are trying to raise enough funds to go to the Lady Luck Cup tournament in Las Vegas in April. We are doing a fund raising raffle and I need to sell at least $50 worth of tickets (preferably […] →Read more

Money that goes to Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Yeah, so, Vegas. It’s a place I went1. And I heard that all y’all wanted to hear about it. So here goes – everything you’ve ever heard about Vegas is true. Overwhelming sights and sounds – check.

You Must Have At Least $2.50 To Attack This Skytrain Rider

My thoughts on this article: Free rides approach end of the line on SkyTrain There may be no more free rides for fare-evaders on the Lower Mainland’s SkyTrain system now that B.C.’s transportation minister is pushing to have gates or turnstiles installed at all stations. There is still no official plan is place, but Transportation […] →Read more

Xmas Party’s?

Went to Nevermind, my favourite place to see Canucks games, to watch my beloved Canucks kick some Calgarian ass1,2 tonight. While the portabella mushroom burger at Nevermind is delish, their grammar leaves something to be desired: Nevermind, perhaps you should go back to putting up signs about Chuck Norris. 1See you in hell, Calgary. 2The […] →Read more

OK, so THIS is the least useful email I’ve ever received

So, I get into work this morning and the hallway is abuzz with the fact that our computers aren’t working. No email. No Internet access. No access to the one drive where everyone in our Centre saves all of our files. Nothing. Two and a half hours later, when they finally got around to fixing […] →Read more

Flu Shot Bribery

On my way to purchase a celebratory1 extra-hot-soy-mocha-with-whip yesterday, I walked past a grizzly scene in the hallway. People rolling up their sleeves to voluntarily be stabbed in the arm with a needle. A NEEDLE!! Ya, so, they are trying to get people at my workplace to get the flu shot. Getting the flu shot […] →Read more

Did Ya Miss Me?

Too tired to write about it all now1, but since a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s 2K worth of words for ya… This is me on Halloween night at, let’s say, The Bellagio2. This is me and my beloved eBay shoes in, let’s say, The Venetian3. This picture […] →Read more
