Confession: It's Friday night and I'm sitting on the computer trying to organize/understand my finances. Confession: I've not done this properly in the last 4 years. I've been coasting with absolutely no idea where I stood incoming vs. outgoing money. Confession: It has always been my goal to live a...

Yeah, socialism is the bane of society. I saw this article today that particularly frustrated me. BP was trying to coax the Canadian government into relaxing the regulation requiring the relief well to be drilled. Yeah, guys, that worked so well for you last time, didn't it? I feel bad for all the i...

Dear You, You know what, I'm impressed. You sure did move quicker than I anticipated. I'm glad you did, though. You've gotta see what's bad to be able to appreciate what's good. I genuinely hope it doesn't turn out too badly for you. As in, I hope you don't get in over your head. That's a real pussy...

Bob, I'm not sure which bothers me more, the fact that I know it's 6 hours till work starts and I've not slept a wink, or that my routine of losing my "high" after 2 hours is enough to bore me of lying in bed in favor of regaining it to try and help me sleep. He came today, while I was at ...

QED, Canadian men are better.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't need a significant other to purposely mispronounce things - I do it all the time. I also enjoy using words like irregardlessly, just because it's fun. There was one point where I would endlessly annoy my significant other saying "ver-say-see" instead of Versace...that's always fun.

Dear You, So, you think you get to pay less than half the rent, regularly leave food to spoil in the kitchen for extended periods of time (>1week), AND give me s*** for leaving a few empties on the stand when I go away for a weekend? Look I get it, this happens every time you bring your girlfriend o...

You know, I loved the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games. Well, not as much Guitar Hero, but I had to include it 'cause it was the first one I got. I got bored of the guitar, though, once I could do all but the most ridiculous guitar solos on expert guitar hero 3. Drums are my love, there is nothing quite ...

That I had to spend all day trying to repair the damage done to my hard drive due to a program made by a company called Paragon (avoid at all costs) that should have partitioned my hard drive and instead deleted my MBR (Master Boot Record, which tells the computer where to find the operating system...

I'm by no means an expert, merely someone whose path will likely follow your husband's; but I'd suggest rather than cutting off "not haves" to find, create, and encourage healthier "haves." I just mean I used to literally live on fast food, eating it 2-3 times a day, and when I s...

Being in Canada means I don't know US specifics for certain, so I could be wrong... I just have a couple of questions i think they are relevant: -In US highways, are highway owners allowed to charge you differently depending on the kind of vehicle you have, depending on which company you work for, d...

I'm surprised this hasn't come up around here before. Net Neutrality is the name that's been given to the fight towards governance insuring our internet providers aren't allowed to determine what parts of the internet (or which downloads) we are able to reach, and aren't allowed to manipulate our ex...

Bob, I shouldn't do this. I've only known of this person's existence for less than 4 weeks. Should I really be bothered to have not heard back for (almost) 2 of them? I'm not bothered, that's really not the word. I just have been excited to finally talk to someone who can relate, empathize instead o...

Bob, I am so tired of waiting. I'm sitting here in class, half way through. The prof put up his lesson plan upon starting (1: Chapter 3; 2: Exercise xx from Chapter 3; 2: Chapter 4; 4: Exercise xx from Chapter 4). Long before it became time to complete the chapter 3 exercise, I started reading Chapt...

Dear You^^^^, You look purrrrrrrrrdy ;-) --Some pervert on the internet Dear You, What? Seriously, what? I know there's some reason, I just don't know what it is. That's a lie, I suspect I do, but clearly there's something you want to talk about, and you think you can coax me in to doing it for you....

Do you think the marital status part in the fill-in forms is innocent? That is actually an illegal question in Canada. A potential employer may not ask what your marital status is, your sex, your sexual orientation, religion, etc. Now, of course, some are not aware of this, and some probably blatan...

dap, out of curiosity, at what stage do you stop arguing like an angsty teen? When I run out of SERIOUS BUSINESS [/i][/u] to argue about on the internet and have to deal with the real world. But employers have the right to have their own prejudices and biases about what kind of people they expect t...

If anything, think that a workplace is a private building. They don't have to let you in unless they are comfortable with you being there, if they feel you are a potential threat. If you don't agree with that, they can show you the exit door. So now I'm a threat? Wow, amazing how we jump from "...

The fact still stands that, if the drug appear on your tests while you are at work (they won't screen you at your home, i guess we agree on that), it's reasonable to think there is a chance it will affect you. It's within reason, i think that an employer asks you not to enter your workplace with ce...

Because being tested for drug (mind-altering substance) usage when you apply for a job is such an over-the-top idea... :roll: Actually it is. In my country, it is actually illegal to base employment decisions on the results of a drug test, and illegal to force an employee to undergo a drug or alcoh...

Dear Bob, Baaaaaaahahaaaahhahahaaahahahaahhaha! My former boss, the one who worked me into the ground (yet made me happy to do it), and the replacement they hired for him the day after firing me were both fired this week. I am so thoroughly amused by the turmoil in that company since I left. I'm alm...

I would think clean, free of bacteria, colourless...as all being far more important characteristics of good drinking water.

But then again, I work in water treatment, so I see an awful lot of unpleasant (yet technically safe to drink) water...

Speaking of civil liberties, isn't it pretty much required to submit to drug testing in order to get any sort of employment in the US? Not to mention many companies having a random testing programs.

Oh yeah...

Between the immigration law in Arizona and these national ID cards all I can think of is going out for a nice bike ride or stroll along the beach only to be hauled off to jail for not carrying my wallet (containing said ID card). That's why this program is scary. I don't need a hitman-esque barcode ...

Perhaps she's embarressed...? If you have the right to be screwed up, maybe you ought to give others the right to be screwed up too. I agree whole-heartedly. I don't doubt she's embarrassed, and she certainly does have the right to be as screwed up as anyone else with it. I don't believe she have t...

Bob, There's a reason I have a general distaste for people. And it's not just because I'm bitter and jaded, I swear. New woman starts work in my office 2 weeks ago. Received training in one of our testing procedures, and was asked to go take care of some tests that required doing, and put together t...

A mixture of a yearner and free-faller. Which has basically no reflection on my personality based on those suggestions. That's as bad as graphology.

If someone didn't study the stupid or easily dismissed we'd never have any progress or innovation.

That ValentineWiggin chick always pissed me off. I'm glad she's not here anymore

I think it's really funny reading this thread and seeing all the names of people I actually liked around this place. Leto/GrenME, LG, Otaku...all the people who know the internet is SERIOUS BUSINESS

Bob, I wish I could learn to take pleasure in food again. I eat entirely out of necessity, and pretty much only when necessity calls for it. Which is to say, I guess, that I routinely end up starving for no reason other than a lack of desire for food. Currently I sit here with my half-eaten lasagna ...

Sounds like an idea to me. I didn't think much about potential confusion using the name Steve, it was just another "average person name" that came to mind.
