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.

Victoria Street location?

Omg Rick that is hilarious.  That place is criminal.
 
Be thankful for your healthcare folks.

No conditions to speak of, but Blue Shield of California is raising my health care premium to $500 / month.

They went straight to the top of my list du merde.

50% chance the plane will land due to the weather, gah! I hope it lands, I have plans to make dinner for the gf tonight in Winnipeg!

? and if it doesn't land due to weather? Wtf are they going to do, fly forever? Did you mean you might be diverted elsewhere? Any plane has to land eventually don't it?
 
The route is Wpg to Thompson To Gillam to Wpg, they will attempt to land once or twice and then just head to Winnipeg. There is a 4pm flight as well, but the weather is supposed to get worse this afternoon :/

The ceiling is currently 500ft and visibility is 1.6kms, the min is apparently 1.6km and 400 ft, just need the current conditions to last another 20 mins so they can land and then they will eventually have to take off lol
 
Went to an interview today, for a job that I really wanted. Of course my darn social phobia took an active role, and I got really really nervous, more than usual. And part of the interview was in Swedish and part of it in English. I felt like some overrun roadkill or something, that walked in there. And im starting to feel like a complete screwup too, because I get called to interviews a lot now, which should be a good thing, but I always find a way to screw up. So now im always trying to fight thoughts like "how many chances do you really need?", "lots of people could get hired after their first interview, and you just keep on screwing up time after time".

Stefan, take this advice..if you don't get this job,the next interview walk in like you don't care if you get the job or not..that way you haven't any pressure on yourself.

Secondly, at the end of the day, you have your integrity. Nobody can take that away from you. If they don't think you are good enough to hire, it's their loss. Adversity will only make you stronger.  I know adversity won't pay the bills but something will finally happen and you'll be more then grateful you didn't get the other jobs. Would you rather work for a Habs fan or a Leafs fan?

Just take some deep breaths bud. You are not alone in the world.

*thumbs up*

That's actually the exact tactics I had when writing an exam at the university. And it usually worked out better, because my mind was more "free". I think about it a lot, but for some reason I have a hard time getting that to work in job interviews. I worry too much before it all.

Yes adversity usually makes you stronger, but I also feel the stress of having my aid lowered even more. And on monday I have an interview in english, I haven't had that before, so we shall see how it goes :)
 
My cat is a little bastard. She was keeping me up all night with her playing with random things in the house so I closed my room door. She just kept on meowing to be let in, so I let her in, but she kept playing with things. I kicked her out again but whined and whined again. I kept telling her "No!" when she would do that but it wasn't sinking into her thick skull, so I grabbed her by the scruff to give her a time out in another room and she sunk her teeth into my wrist.

I received this puncture wound and its swollen since yesterday. I shouldn't have taken my sweet ass time to clean it and put ointment on it. Bah!

PO'd right now.

A few years ago, I was bitten by a cat and it swelled up badly. When I went to my doctor, he became quite upset that I didn't come in sooner as the consequences could be dire.

Go see a doctor.

I tried going to a bunch of walk in clinics to get my bite checked out but every single place I went to was bloody closed. It's a wasteland for clinics between Royal York/Bloor all the way to Christie/Bloor. I spent two hours hopping on and off the subway stopping by clinics that are closed down.

Went to emerg later that night because my arms was getting itchy, but I think it was just extra sensitive due to the bite (better safe than sorry I guess?). I went to St. Joseph's Hospital and I swear it was like walking into an episode of Scrubs (while entertaining probably not a good thing).

Anyway, the doc looked at me, said the bite was ok, the Cat must be pretty clean since usually they see bites balloon pretty quickly whereas mine wasn't too bad. My cat's pretty clean, she has all her shots and whatnot, and is an indoor cat. Anyway, he prescribed me some anti-biotics and sent me on my way.

I haven't picked them up yet though. It doesn't look to be getting worse and the pain is starting to go away.

 
I am sitting outside the office manager's office who has been laminating for the last 4 hours and all I've been inhaling in that time is burning plastic.

I have a headache.
