Office Jerks 2

Ever worked in an office with an office jerk? I read an article today where they described 6 types of “office jerks”. The article didn’t describe these jerks well, so I’ve added my own commentary. 1.

Defecating Room? 5

Anytime I travel to the US of A, I always receive strange looks when I ask where the “Bathroom” is, or where the “Washroom” is. Down there they know it as the “Restroom”. Come to think of it, none of these names really make sense. Bathroom implies that there is a bath in the room ...

What are you thinking right now? 2

When I was in Whistler BC a few weeks back, we stayed for two nights with some friends of Tim’s from Toronto. One of them told me about a building a couple blocks from my place that had a disturbing sign on it. Intrigued by this discovery, I had to get the full story behind ...

Drinking Update 6

Since I have a few minutes to spare before I head out for the night, I wanted to give you all an update since I’m almost at the 2 week point of my one-month abstinence. So far, not drinking alcohol is… well.. it’s quite dry (No pun intended). Everything is pretty boring actually. I feel ...
