I have to vent somewhere. This category means I’ll be venting. It’s very therapeutic, as long as you don’t overdo it and insinuate some stereotype against some race that got you in enough trouble that would make Michael Richards blush.

Getting ready.

Vacation has officially started for me, but we’re not leaving town until Monday morning. In the meantime, I need to:
(a) start archiving media to make space for new downloads
(b) detail the interior of my car (exterior wash optional since it’ll be caked with insects on the highway)
(c) organize music on my iPod
(d) finish up other [...]

The ChickenBall has a new home!

I consolidated all my domains together and got myself a sweet spot for web hosting. I have no idea why, since I don’t have enough time in my life to blog, but it’s only approximately $100 a year for hosting - and that includes all my websites as well as websites I host for other [...]

Amazon screwed Canada over. Stuff about my budget.

I used to order stuff from Amazon.com. Even with the inflated dollar a couple years back, it was still a better deal than buying from Amazon.ca. Music for $10, movies for $15, it was a steal! Video games used to be a part of that deal, but then Amazon.com stopped shipping to Canada. I always [...]

Getting pushed around.

This week at work has been pretty rough. Now, I’m not really built for physical labor, but I try my best when the need arises. I certainly did my fair share of power lifting boxed big screen TVs when I worked at RadioShack, so I’m used to that sort of work. I’ve also done cabling [...]

It’s bumpy out there!

After a busy morning, I took the afternoon off from work today. Why? Because I’ve accumulated so much banked time that I’m about to go over the 40 hour limit this Sunday. So, after our usual lunch at the Chef with the boys (WINGIES!!), I went to the post office to get Rock Band.
That’s right, [...]

Buried alive by snow.

It snowed two nights ago. No big deal, right?
WRONG!! (Kevin Spacey style)
I woke up yesterday morning to tons of snow and massive wind. I had to shovel the driveway before we could leave for work. When I got to work, I parked the car, which promptly got stuck. Later on, at lunch time, I spent [...]

Laziness and procrastination, but is it justified?

I haven’t written a blog entry since last year (haha, that NEVER gets old), and no thanks to my 13-hour work days during the week, all the spare time that I do get is spent on other things, like reading, watching TV, and pretty much anything else that doesn’t involve an F for effort (sorry, [...]

Explanations, frustrations, and the need to vent it all away.

I haven’t touched this old blog in quite some time, but I haven’t gotten a chance to. To make it quick and without naming names, when I was away in Winnipeg for that week-long training, one of my managers stirred up some shit with a manager of a different group (all within the IT department), [...]

Okay, so I didn’t update all week.

But I have pictures, so I’ll post something more elaborate later.
Even after the training course ended, it seems I’ve been busy. I thought this trip was a chance for me to relax?

The weekend of stereotypical Punjabi helpdesk attendants.

Well, the flight to Winnipeg was uneventful, which I am glad to report. I ran into Keith and my cousin, Oliver, at the terminal in Thompson (Keith was working, Oliver was traveling). Oliver and I decided to get some lunch when we got to the city, so he called up Margaret while I called Esmond. [...]
