colossal wastes of space & money

When you read that, what comes to mind? For me it is the Canadian Federal government. I see it constantly. I try to avoid wasting time & money but my colleagues & clients must see things differently.

I am afraid for my pension. The reason I am afraid is that with continual un-necessary spending, I believe that there will be nothing left for me when it's my turn to retire.

When it comes to the Federal Public Service, you must remove logic from the equation. This might seem like a blanket/general statement however for the majority of situations I encounter it applies BIG TIME.

I am so very tired of fighting the good fight. I provide suggestions, do research, create reports and other things of that nature, on how to save time & money for my superiors. These all seem fall upon deaf ears & blind eyes. In other words Status Quo. My time & energies were wasted once again. Quelle surprise!

I will continue to point out errors and give my suggestions, however they would need to double my salary to motivate me to go back to the old Gung Ho person that arrived over 5 years ago.

They are trying to slowly convince me to drink their "Kool-Aid" and turn into one of them. As much as I resist it seems the harder people try to waste my time, energy and tax payer's money.

I really don't know what the future has in store. But if the past predicts the future than all of us Canadians are in for major trouble (although not as much trouble as our neighbours to the south)

I saw some tard putting up Christmas decorations on November 4th

This person is a wart on the ass of society. People putting up Christmas decorations in November are fuckin retarded. Hallowe'en just finished! I hate this holiday because of the craziness that ensues amongst everything in retail.

I was raised Christian and for the life of me I cannot fathom all this hubbub over some dead Jewish carpenter.

Try going shopping on a weekend in December. It's fucked everywhere and people are arseholes towards one another. Isn't the season supposed to be about peace, charity and love for your fellow man? We really missed the boat on that one.

I think I'm gonna hang at the movies or the Chinese restaurants with the Jews, Muslims and the rest of the non-Christians during the holidays, because it's getting more ridiculous each & every year

I wish you all a festive Bah Humbug

I cannot stand it when people slow down to look at an accident or cop cars flashing lights. This slows traffic down a lot and usually causes more accidents.

What is it with people's morbid curiousity? I guess it outweighs their need to cut me off, not use turn signals or brake at the last minute and decide to turn left when they're in the right hand lane.

What about when there's a bad accident near a residential neighbourhood? All the hermits come out of hiding and start milling around the scene asking everyone questions.

Last Friday afternoon, I was sitting in my buddies backyard in Aylmer having a beer and the next thing you know some car got t-boned and ended up in a ditch. Jaws of life was used to extricate the victim from the car. All that I had to do was turn my chair around to witness the commotion. By the time we realized what had happened 10 sets of eyes were already on site asking questions.

Some dude brought his toddler aged daughter to watch the whole rescue thing!
Friggen people. The more I know people the more I love animals.

Good beer at cheap prices in Western Quebec part II

I took a look at the Citizen on the weekend and who's on the front page? Denis Gravelle owner of Marché Gravelle. What is Marché Gravelle you ask? It is a dépanneur in Alymer Québec which has the lowest prices on beer around the NCR. What is a dépanneur you ask? Google it.

Denis was also on the front page of the Business section. Not bad for a dude that runs a corner store; he just happens to know that people will come from all over for the savings. And they do.

Here's the link if you're interested in the story or the cheap beer.

Good beer at cheap prices in Western Quebec

You gotta love living so close to the Quebec border. They always have sales on beer at the various deps or grocery stores.

I work in Quebec but live in Ottawa so I have the best of both worlds. I just picked up 3 cases of MGD at the Super C in Hull for $85.11 taxes & deposit included. That works out to just over $28 a case. Great friggen deal. The last time it was this price was May 24 weekend and I got 9 cases.

At the Beer Store a 24 of MGD is at least $40. A buddy of mine works there and does NOT buy there because it is too expensive. He hits Marche Gravelle on Dalhousie or the Ultramar on Broad in Aylmer.

You can usually get a decent brand of beer at any grocery store for $19.99-$23.00 before taxes & deposit. Some of the premium is $28 before taxes & deposit which still works out to $34 and change. Still cheaper than some premium at the Beer Store.

Asleep on the job

As if we didn't have enough to talk about when celebrities fuck up. The Anna Nicole Smith fucktard show, Britney shaving her head, Hasselhoff drunk with cheeseburgers, Paris Hilton DUI and Chris Benoit.

I thought that maybe the rest of the clowns would perk up and take notice of the shit show going on around them and decide to be smart and NOT become the next punch line.

Two words; Michael Vick.

It just goes to show you, regardless of their riches, the fame, the VIP treatment, they are dumbasses just like you and I. It just happens that while being big-time celebrities they manage to fuck up big-time too.

Since 2001 he's been running dog fights? Are you fucking serious? He's fucked. Enjoy your stay at Federal Pound You In The ASS Prison Mister Vick. Too many people love dogs and he is not going to pull an OJ and walk.

I listened to Fox Sports Radio for the past few days & everyone that has read the indictment says that makes you physically ill while reading the details of what was done to these animals.

The reason I say he's fucked is because the FBI don't fuck around when it comes to trying cases. They pick & choose their cases and their success rate is normally pretty good.

This ain't a black or white issue. This guy was simply into this dog fighting culture. He has tonnes of money and is famous so everything he does is magnified. But c'mon, how brain dead is this guy not to once say to himself "isn't this wrong". To me that is pure evil.

I am baffled at the shit we're hearing about and I believe that it will get worse. People are doing really fucked up shit in this world and we're just hearing the tip of the iceberg.

However Vick is still in second place in my humble opinion. People love dogs however killing your own son and then yourself is cowardly therefore Benoit wins.
