   "I remember falling/
I remember marching/
Like a one man army/
Through the blaze/
I know I'm coughing/
I believe in something/
I don't want to remember falling/
For their lies..." -Our Lady Peace (One Man Army)

Kay. I wasn't very clear yesterday. Because I normally write such long posts, it seems natural for people to assume that when I make a very short one, lacking in details that I'm sad or depressed. But I'm not. Blank, yes. Depressed, no. At the moment, everything is at it's normal level of annoyingness. Heheh..

So, as I was getting ready to leave work this afternoon, I was tidying up in the bakery a little, and nutty Bakery Manager says to me (in her Slovakian accent) "Do you like cheese bread?" .... I'm like, "uhh... sure, who dosen't like cheese bread?" She runs off into the back and brings one out and gives it to me. She says "Colin didn't leave them in the proofer long enough, so they didn't rise. You should just take one home." Umm... okay. It's not like it didn't rise AT ALL. It was like, 70% done. And still tasty too. So whatever.

Another one of my old friends from high school is getting married this weekend. *sigh* Good for her. And pretty much my best friend since birth is leaving for France in a week. Staying over there for a month. So we're throwing her a big party on Saturday. I printed out a picture of her face, and I cut out some little French Berets. So we can play "Pin the beret on the Paige." Heh.. I thought it was a good idea. It'll be a good laugh in any case.

Lame one-liner #16: Campers: Nature's way of feeding the mosquitoes. *cough* hey, I warn you every time that they're LAME one-liners! Have a good one everybody!

   "I been hangin' around camera stores/
I been learnin' 'bout sight/
I been talkin' to film makers/
I been workin' on eyes/
Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin too/
Runnin' back to Saskatoon/
Red Deer, Terrace and a Medicine Hat/
Sing another prairie tune..." -The Guess Who (Running Back To Saskatoon)

In case it's not obvious, those are all names of Canadian cities. All surrounding me actually. But they neglected to mention MY city in the song. *pout*

Ehh.. so it is possible that a short, non-detailed post from me is pretty much the same as saying I'm on the depressed side? I know it's unusual for me to NOT write a bloody novel of a post, but there is that one occasion in a hundred where I have something to say, but I don't need to say it in five hundred words.. Speaking of numbers.. I think my archives are backed up to about 40 pages. At ten posts per page, that's 400 posts. I'm amazed.

So anyways, that's about enough out of me. Guess what time it is.. Lame one-liner # 15: He who laughs last, just got it. It's too true.

"There's too many men/
Too many people/
Making too many problems/
And not much love to go round/
Can't you see/
This is a land of confusion..." -Genesis (Land of Confusion)

Old school Phil Collins.. Hehehe..

I had to say goodbye to yet another of my favourite co-workers tonight. It was sad.

Lame one-liner #14: We have enough youth. How about a fountain of "Smart"? Yeah, I like that one..

"I believe in a thing called love/
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart/
There's a chance we could make it now/
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down/
I believe in a thing called love/
Ooh! Guitar!..." -The Darkness (I Believe in a Thing Called Love)

Prison Break Freakin' rules.


It was a sad episode. I cried. I can't even imagine what's going to happen. And you don't care. I'll shut up about it now.

Anywho.. About that 'taking the supervisor position' business... I doubt it'll happen unless I decide that I absolutely, really really want it. If one was available, and I asked for it, I'd get it, because really, it all comes down to seniority. And I have so much of it at the moment, that it's not even funny. But then, I feel ambitious late at night. And not so in the morning. So we'll see what happens.

So. I seem to have forgotten what else I was going to say. There WAS something.. I have got to start writing crap down... So, we'll just get this show on the road.. Lame one-liner #13: Give me ambiguity, or give me something else! Umm.. riiiight... That reminds me of yet another Boy Meets World quote.. In the episode where they form a student union and attempt to stage a walkout..

Cory: (with class in the cafeteria)No more macaroni!
Class: NO MORE MACARONI!
Cory: What do we want?!
Class: SETAK!
Cory: And what do we want WITH our steak?!
Shawn: (throws fists in the air) MACARONI!!
Cory: Shawn, we don't like macaroni...
Shawn: (throws fists in the air) OH!!

I love it...

   "I catch a paper boy/
But things don't really change/
I'm standing in the wind/
But I never wave bye-bye/
But I try/
I try..." -David Bowie (Modern Love)

Well? What do we think of Mr. Wolfwood? I thought I'd get some use out of this thing before I put it up for grabs in the wallie section. Didn't turn out TOO badly..

Aaaanyways.. Monday night = Prison Break! To quote my friend DJ Jennifer, "I'm amped!" I'm telling you guys.. If the ever good-lookin' Wentworth Miller isn't enough to get you to watch the show, the plotline IS! So, I guess what I'm saying is, girls, watch it because there's a cute boy. Guys, watch it because it's frickin' cool!

And in other news, I wish people would just get their crap together already! I had, I think, three phone calls from my supervisors at work today. The first was just to extend a shift by an hour. Fine. The second was because one of the new chicks accidentally overcharged someone on their credit card. By a couple hundred dollars. It happens, but if you're the supervisor, YOU'RE supposed to know how to fix it! Ya don't call ME! I'm not even suPOSED to know that stuff. (but I do, because I'm a genius, and a sneaky one at that) The third call, they were asking me to work early on Monday, instead of late. Some chick has to go have some insurace claims dealt with and didn't tell anyone sooner. *eye roll* Garbage... And I've actually been THINKING about asking for onee of the supervisor positions for myself.. details to follow.. 'Cause this is getting long..

Lame one-liner #12: No one is listening until you make a mistake. Personally, I think it would read better if it said ' no one is listening until you fart', but that's just me. Goodnight everybody!

   "Do I stress you out/
My sweater is on backwards and inside out/
And you say how appropriate/
I don't want to dissect everything today/
I don't mean to pick you apart you see/
But I can't help it..." -Alanis Morissette (All I Really Want)

It's been okay. I don't think I need to throw any eggs. Not at the moment anyways. But the weekend's not over yet. I can' just hide out and watch Lost though. Heheh..

Aaaand there's a blizzard going on outside. Yeah, it was nice when I went to work earlier. I didn't even take a coat with me. But now, the wind is blowing and there is snow. And I want mittens.

Anyways.. Latest news from the Personality Forge is that someone has gone to the trouble of creating a Dr. Evil bot. Not too many points for development, but still entertaining...

Dr Evil: Why must I be surrounded by frickin' idiots?
Mel_Arewar: Pull the other frickin one.
Dr Evil: People have to tell me these things. I've been frozen for thirty years, throw me a bone here.
Mel_Arewar: I'm not your frickin slave.
Dr Evil: Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Mel_Arewar: I don't have a frickin pipe.
Dr Evil: Well, congratulations numb nuts... you've succeeded in turning me into a frickin' Jack in the box.
Mel_Arewar: I'm frickin happy about that
Dr Evil: As you know, every diabolical scheme I've hatched has been thwarted by Austin Powers. And why is that, ladies and gentlemen?
Mel_Arewar: Because he's frickin smarter than you?
Dr Evil: Look, I'm Zippy Longstockings.
Mel_Arewar: You're frickin unattractive in those.
Dr Evil: Boo-frickity-hoo.

See? I didn't make this bot.. but I'm starting to wish that I had! Now.. To escape to the Lost episodes... But first.. Lame one liner #11: If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? It seems we're poking an awful lot of fun at vegans, eh? Ahh well.. Happy Sunday.

   "Too bad that you had to get caught /
That's not like you to lose face/
So sad that you're not as smart/
As you thought you were in the first place..." -Doug and the Slugs (Too Bad)

Alright, so the PM system is just starting to annoy me now.. I got a second copy of a message from Teh Zappa Slave (back from like January or something, about your site being more evil than mine?) and a couple more from a few other people.. Duplicates. All of 'em. It's odd..

A friend of my mom's is coming down from E-Town with her daughter. They're going to stay with us for the weekend. I'm told that the daughter acts like a real spoiled brat some of the time. And she's only a couple of years younger than me. If she throws any attitude at me, I'm planning on throwing eggs at her.. I'm telling you people.. throwing eggs is great therapy. Much cheaper than psychiatry. Messier though...

Before I go to bed, I think I'm going to toss on an episode of Lost.. or maybe two.. I started watching 'em again. Oooh, and hey! Guess what comes back on March 20th?!

Sweeeeet... Prison Break! Hey.. wait a sec... are his pants undone? Heheheheheheh... Happy weekend to all..

That you want me to be/
A punching bag/
A piece of string/
That reminds you not to think..." -Our Lady Peace (Made of Steel)

Not really too much to say today.. Except for that I wouldn't want to deprive you all of.. lame one-liner #10: Few women admit their age; few men act theirs. Yeah.... okay. Almost the weekend again...

   "Driving through pouring rain/
Searching for answers/
May we be home again?/
Speedless fall like there was no bottom/
There's no use in stopping/
The start's nearly over/
They are they dropping/
Listening close as he streams above her..." -Wide Mouth Mason (Sleepwalker)

That was a long one, eh?

Thanks everybody for the b-day wishes. I didn't say anything sooner because.. well.. I know everyone is busy. And I don't like to be a bother. And I know what you're going to say about that. So we can just leave it at that. It was a good day, so... *smile*

Before I forget, because I think she's asked twice now and I've forgotten to answer, Mamma Vash, my background picture is of Waterton Lake in Waterton National Park way down in the corner of Alberta. Probably one of the prettiest places in the province. Rivaled by Lake Louise, of course... (Kay, I was going to put in a picture of Lake Louise, but photobucket is being an ass tonight.. sorry..) No wait.. there it goes..


So anywho.. Work is an absolute mess. I can't even talk about it.. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm hoping or a new New Boss.. but with the perceptive kind of people they've got working for head office.. (note sarcasm there..) It does not seem like an option. *sigh*

So there we have it. Hugs for everyone. (*shrugs* I'm feelin' affectionate today) Aaaand... Lame one-liner #9: Always go to other people's funerals, or they won't go to yours.. *facepalm* Who wrote these things anyways?!

   "And I wonder/
If everything could ever feel this real forever/
If anything could ever be this good again/
The only thing I'll ever ask of you/
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when..." -The Foo Fighters (Everlong)

A pretty uneventful day. Nice and quiet. I would like to thank Sita and Teh Zappa Slave for remembering what day it was. Cake for all.

I did have to go out to a lame meeting about what to do about our next staff party in the summertime. There's just a lot of disagreement going on. New boss wants us to rent a place (fine) plan some activities (fine) and make it booze-free (danger, danger Will Robinson). I'm thinking that to make it alcohol free would be a mistake. And NOT just because I like my beer, but because it's a younger crowd. I want people to COME to the party. Plus that seems to be how we, as a staff, bond. You all go to a party and get loaded together, then the next day, you have something to talk about. I mean, people are still talking about one that we had like, two years ago. It was just that good. But anyways, It's mostly up to the staff, so we may have to take a poll or something. Ahh well..

So I leave you this fine day, with.. yes.. Lame one-liner #8: I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it! Nice...
