going crazy

...or should i say nuts.

for those of you who haven't done the walnut thing...you have no idea what work is. It's like a cross between tree planting and doing laundry by hand. it sucks.

But the rewards are great. I'm thinking of cheap ways to automate the process...ideas include a power-washer, concrete mixer, and cheap imported labour.

k, I can't use 'nerd'...it's taken. But Nature Nerd has inspired me to take more nature pics...

telus...reloaded

oh boy. so about an hour and a half on the phone....finally the connection is working. remarkably simple really. somehow this fellow Ray in the Philippines was able to make my modem work in about 10 seconds (after being on hold for a loooong time)...then Melvin in Montreal was able to get me to connect to it wirelessly...it being 'pornden'...Erin's new wireless network. Ray and Melvin, I love you. Telus, you suck.

telus

here's a little diddy that attempts to illustrate my recent experience with a new internet connection. I thought I knew something about computers and stuff...I guess not. At one point I remember whipping out my knife and stabbing the boxes that the modem came in while on the floor cursing. Erin looked over from behind the counter and calmly asked if what I was experiencing was hormonal and if I needed anything from her that would make me feel better.

breakfast of champions

yummy. fast. easy.

the big shitty

So I'm in Vancouver ...fighting traffic and doing shoulder checks like a ninja all the way to the office. The area where I work isn't the most up-scale but does not in any way rival the reputation of 'East Van'. Seeing this little medical instrument on the ground next to my parking spot sure brings home the reality of drug use. My first instinct was to pick it up, fill it with water, and run into the office squirting my employees with it. But, alas, I didn't. I'm glad to know...or at least I think I'm glad to know that I'm still immature at heart.
Thanks for stopping by. Stay classy.
