    Wednesday Schmendsday

    well... it's partly down to the decentralized nature of government administration. these sorts of decisions are made not by the Department (in my case Environment and Climate Change), but by Public Services and Procurement (responsible for public works and real property). The thing is they have...

    Wednesday Schmendsday

    the reason they gave us is that this building is leased, and they are trying to consolidate us into fewer buildings since we are in the office fewer days... That part makes sense, but what's infuriating is that instead of consolidating us into buildings serviced by rapid transit (Ottawa just...

    Wednesday Schmendsday

    biked into the office for the first time since the elbow surgery. feels good. it's such a nice bike ride too, it's really too bad we'll be moving offices over the summer.

    the random thought thread

    I'm not sure if I'm just getting old, or if Pinkbike is just getting bad, but I haven't really seen an article on their front page I've been interested in reading for a few weeks now.

    Just out of curiosity, how else would the axles be driven? Can't be perpendicular... In series?

    $$$$ In the tropics Thursday GTM ¥¥¥¥

    My first is a giant pain in the butt. not very friendly, distant and cold. the moments of tenderness are few and far between, but oh so rewarding when they happen. My second is the opposite: high emotiotnal IQ, very caring and warm. But it took him 7 years to sleep through the night. It was...

    One Eyed Mans Day

    Mornin! Kid A is out of the woods with his illness, but still wants to sleep in this morning. fine whatever, I don't have the energy to fight right now. Because, kid B is getting sicker by the minute. Fever, sore throat and coughing. He "slept" in my bed last night, but was up at 3:30 and...

    This is what's right with The Industry®

    I think this was posted before but the part where one of the kids says Jordie Lunn's part is the sketchiest is what made the whole video for me... truer words were never spoken!

    after 4 days off work, I am now back to staring aimlessly at my work computer screen. two sick kids at home today too. one just getting over his cold, the other just starting. oh happy days. in happier news, I have my post-op follow-up with my surgeon today. I hope he tells me I can start...
