Well, election time.

If I could bet on this it will be this,

Liberals will win Ontario
PC will win the Prairies
Bloc will win Quebec

and BC will split NDP and PC.

Since there are more seats in Ontario, liberals will have minority government again.

You could translate the political group names as follows

Bloc = Quebec is special, we require special needs.
PC = Times aren't changing; gay? who's gay?
Liberals = Let's use taxpayer's money to buy our votes.
NDP = Let's spend spend spend, who cares about fiscal responsibility.

But in the end, it's not really about the policies, it's about who will best represent our region.

The east will never vote for PC and the west will never vote for liberals.

West vs East vs Quebec

I'm speechless

House Lights

wow, i'm lacking in energy this week.

Went to bed at like 8pm last night... woke up at 6am.

Not sure what's going on... I think I need a vacation.

160 Episodes of Naruto down in 16 days.

Average of 10 Episodes a day which equals to over 3 hours of wasted time per day.

gah

Things that annoy me at work even after 1 1/2 years.

1) Phone Messages with the following "Can you call me please?"
2) People who come into my office with the following question "Can I ask a quick question?"

The reason these annoy me are...

I'm busy, and yes everybody is busy, so if you're going to leave a message. Leave a detailed one so I don't need to waste my time checking a message where I have to call you back for more information anyways.

No question is quick, I'm generally working on something when somebody pops by my office. And my answer never changes for these "quick questions". The answer is

"Please log a ticket and we'll look into it right away"

A warning, this is a rant, a political rant at that.

First off, yes, I am pro-conservative, probably more because it's a regional thing. If the liberals were based in the west and the conservatives in the east, I would be pro-liberal.

So, the latest developments in parliment is starting to sicken me.

First off, coming up is the vote on the fiscal update. Usually this is where the government makes small changes to the budget but this time with the Liberals on their last lifelines, they're making it a larger budget update with signficant changes in it. Most of them being large personal and business tax cuts.

Now everybody wants tax cuts because they get more money in their pocket but is that really healthy for Canada? That money has to come from somewhere, we won't see the damage of those tax cuts for years to come but it will come.

Here is the ultimatum the oppositions parties have put in and the liberal response.

Naruto Episode 49... 100 more to go.

gah.

My book came in, I'm scared to touch it until the weekend. (Feast of Crows)
I won't be getting much sleep this weekend, that's for sure.

I found something life changing over the weekend.

Superstore takes visa now.......

*gasp*

Sorry about the lack of posts. It was a draining week for some reason. I barely made it through the work days.

I've just finished reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

It was an interesting read. I thought the book itself was so-so with most of the important things happening at the end. If you have spare time, I would give this a try although you have to be patient with it, it does drag a little.

But Amazon.ca did ship the next Fire and Ice book. A Feast for Crows I can't wait. It should be here tomorrow or Wednesday.

I should just take next week off. Not only will I not get any sleep with reading that addicting book, but also Scrubs Season 2 is coming out on DVD next week.

Oh and after downloading 149 episodes of Naruto, I've finally started watching it. On episode 16, only 133 to go.

Maybe I need the next 2 weeks off.

so how many of you heard of the guy who kicked a 50 yard field goal for $1 Million dollars?

Impressive hey?

well, did you know Wendy's is being cheap and paying him it out over 40 YEARS!

That works out to 25000 a year. Nothing to sneeze at but 25k in 40 years is not worth as much as 25k right now.
