I'm pretty sure my new glasses are making me sick. I got two pairs and one of them makes me feel all screwy.

Are you sure its not the booze?

Okay, assuming it's an easy thing to explain and set-up, when you have the time (doesn't have to be today, this week or any time soon at all) can you PM me with the low down or a link to where I might get the low down? If it's at all a complicated of a thing for either me to do or you to explain how to do, no worries... don't bother.

Sure - check your PMs.

Please tell me you don't work for Rogers. I spent almost 1/2 of my shift tonight sitting waiting for a call. Can only read so much work related stuff.

Nope. I appreciate my company's method to their madness, wanting to protect itself from malware and viruses and such but I'm certain the internet generally keeps employees at their post during down time. I'd be most interested in a study on productivity of office employees with internet access vs. employees without. Anyway, I guess it'll be like the old days before we used the internet... Longer lunches. Longer breaks... Almost always off site. Maybe we'll play cards. Scrabble was a good one. Ewww, we're going to have to talk to each other a lot more too.

I ordered two breakfast sandwiches from Tim Hortons this morning. One sausage, one bacon. I got the sausage one with no cheese, and the other one had NOTHING in it. It was literally just two biscuits. How does that even happen? Then, at lunch I went to Subway and ordered a turkey sub with bacon, untoasted with no cheese. The sub had no bacon on it, it was toasted and had cheese.

It's not like I'm asking them to assemble an F-18. Why is it so hard to get an order the way I order it?

I can understand being upset about the Tim Hortons thing, but at Subway they make the sandwich right in front of you? Why didn't you stop him from putting it in the toaster...or adding cheese...or ask where the f your bacon was? LOL

Oh I could have, but that wasn't really the point of the story. It's a simple task to perform and they couldn't get it right without me holding their hand.

Just another "hey kids, stay in school moment"

The prices for vacations are high, even for an all inclusive at supposedly cheap Cuban destinations. Not happy. Not happy at all.

If you ever make it to Cuba, can you pick me up a box of Cohiba Behike 52's.

Thanks in advance.

PS when do you want to go? I hear that due to no winter up here(last 3 days notwithstanding) that some decent sell offs should be happening soon.

Hoping for Feb 25 flight, 1 week all incl. in Cuba.

*Edit: Actually, thats a good idea. How cheap are Cigars over there? And how would I know if they're legit Cohibas?

they are expensive even if you can find them up here. The Cohiba Behike 56's are $106 each at a mid range shop up here. The 52's are around $20 each in Cuba and the 56's are $26 (as of last April). They only come in 10 packs and here is a link which has some youtube videos that helps spot the fakes.

I was craving a Whopper today, but went to the Burger King closer to my place (1st visit) instead of a location that I've been too before. Big mistake. I asked for no onions, extra pickles, and easy on the mayo. They managed to screw it up twice. 1st one had onions and the 2nd time had no mayo. Top it off with some of the slowest service I've ever seen at a BK (10+ minutes from walking in the door until I got my order with only 3 people ahead of me), means I won't be going back to that location for a while.

So I go to run to the store about half an hour ago, get in, reverse out of the driveway, and my back right tire won't spin. FML. I keep saying - next time something goes wrong with this car, its gone...then I keep fixing it..ugh
