ok... i've given in to the fact that i'm going to have to work late every night for the rest of my life (or for the rest of this week... which ever comes first). that said, i decided to take a break from work to clear my head. the activity: google myself
to say that i'm bitterly disappointed would be the understatement of the.... hour? i remember about two years ago being bored and deciding to google myself. i was in the top 20 search results. today, i wasn't even in the top 300 (i couldn't bare to look past that).
it's clear to me now that the last two years have been a disaster. to drop more than 280 places (god only knows the true number) is unacceptable. this means one of two things... 1) i haven't done anything in the last two years that warrants recognition on any web site. or 2)... ok, so there's no number 2.
so anyway, i've gotta do somethin'. break a world record. run for president. run for vice president. sue the pope for child support... something. hmmm... what about a dart club? maybe that would put me back on the google map. if i start a dart club, then i'll be important! first, i'll have to buy some darts and maybe one of those target dealies that you throw them at. then, i'll need to learn the name of the target dealie. i'm not sure what the step after that is, but i'm sure it will become obvious.
ok, back to work... but before i go, i should mention this:
i bet the main reason police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anyone walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "what was THAT?!"

ok... this is getting ridiculous
since i'm still here waiting...
more things that suck:
- country music
- people who talk non-stop without giving other people the chance to provide their own opinions or to give them the opportunity to tell them to go to hell and walk away. (sure, i could just walk away, but it's more fun to tell them to go to hell)
- any kind of insect or parasite or germ
- almost all food
- air canada (had to repeat that... sorry)
- my current apartment
- my winter jacket, and, more importantly... the fact i need a winter jacket
- potato chips with that green discolouration along the edge... because what is that?
- being single and realizing it
- taking a shower and having the water instantly turn either really hot or ice cold without warning
- people who don't take showers
- the color pink
- dumplings of any kind
- and many, many, many more things.
but here's one thing that doesn't suck (at least anymore)... i can finally go home!!

attitude problem? what attitude problem asshole?
so i'm sitting here at work at 8 PM on saturday night. i've been here since 10 AM... and since i'm waiting for my creative team to send me stuff to go over, i figured i might as well take the time to update my blog... which hasn't happened in, i don't know... almost three weeks i believe. and i'm very proud of my good friend T for not putting up a stink about that.
first, let's start with basketball. as it always seems in my life, i'd say i broke even on the topic of basketball over the last three weeks. on the one side, it sucked that i missed two weeks worth of playing (from being in ottawa and then with games being cancelled last week). on the other hand, it's unbelievable how well i played this past week and, not only that, but how well my entire team played. we were actually undefeated in six (that's right! SIX!) games. quite honestly, i don't know that i could have played any better, both on offense and defense. too bad there wasn't a national basketball association (or something) i could join that would pay me ridiculous amounts of money for my skills.
work... well, enough said. actually, not quite. T - you wanted to know other things that suck... i'll tell you. having your vacation cancelled because you're the only one at work who knows how to form a complete sentence on paper and the company you work for desperately needs you to come in and save the jobs of almost 20 people by writing a proposal that nobody's going to read because it's almost 200 pages long and the client you're submitting it to already knows everything about you really, really, really, really, really really, sucks. and on top of that, i'm still single and 31 years old!
oh yeah... and did i mention i'm sitting here at work at 8 PM on a saturday night? something's not right with this picture. all of a sudden, i'm terribly pissed off for some reason. i need someone to blame...

a few things to get off my chest
1. moncton airport sucks. for an airport that's less than five years old, it's ridiculous to see that a group of retarded monkeys were assigned the job of designing and decorating this place. (yes, i'm at the airport right now)... imagine a clean slate and then purposefully building this cancerous tumor when so much is known about public structures, behaviour and esthetics.
2. air canada sucks worse. for the second time in two weeks, i'm not going to be able to make it to ottawa when i paid to be there. last time, they couldn't get the plane started. this time, it's delayed for over two hours which means i'm going to miss my connection in montreal and i'll have to pay for another hotel room there in addition to the perfectly good one i already paid for in ottawa. air canada won't pay for it because i live in moncton and i've been told i can't make it to ottawa tonight so i can stay in moncton... of course, if the only morning flight to montreal is late tomorrow morning or cancelled, then, once again, i will have missed a very important meeting in ottawa.
i think my battery is about to die so i'm going to post this... don't worry, there are a lot of other things that suck... i'll get to 'em.
