In The End
The loud girl got 8 months in jail, lost her license for 2 years and 18 months probation for what she did July 2008.
Sounds pretty good to me. Especially since there is rarely an appropriate punishment for people caught drunk driving in this province.

Go Find Mommy's Machine Gun Bra
I just read a Letter to the Editor in the Gleaner today regarding Lady Gaga and her new video, Alejandro. I like Lady Gaga but as my FB status said last week, I’m not impressed with her new video either. The writer took offence to the “sexual abusing” of Catholic symbols and how she’s the new Madonna wannabe. I also felt she was trying too hard to be like Madge in the video. But really, how many ways can you simulate screwing priests and have it look original?
The writer quoted Lady Gaga as saying that she didn’t want to have children (at least not right now) because it would ruin her creativity. Ok, I can see that, since kids are pretty much all consuming and Lady Gaga really does immerse herself in her work. The writer lays into her saying she seems oblivious to the fact that kids are “the most creative thing a woman can do.”
Seriously? Because I can think of a whole SHIT load of other things women can be creative doing that do NOT involve kids at all.
This writer must either be 1) delusional, 2) really old-school 3) Mrs. Happy-Suzie-Home-Maker or 4) completely bat-shit crazy.

Why Can't You See It??
As I was walking through the lobby this morning, I witnessed something that most certainly falls under the “People are Stupid” category. There were two women, one who worked in the bank and the other woman was asking her directions. This is what I heard.
Woman 1 – “So where were you going again?”
Woman 2 – “(Didn’t hear what she said except) B”
Woman 1 – “Oh It’s right there. On the first floor”
Woman 2 – Silence…
Woman 1 – “You see where that woman is going in? Right there” while pointing at the door.
I turn around as I’m headed towards the stairwell and I see that the woman looking for directions is holding a cane and looking for the CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) door.
Seriously? The woman is blind and you’re pointing at where she needs to go? Dumbass…

Now In Color
In regards to getting a replacement for the piece of crap printer on my desk, we’ve been offered a high-capacity floor model printer from another office. I was hoping to get another countertop model because I use it a lot for labels as our current machine s-u-c-k-s for making labels. It’s the main reasoning behind getting a new printer. I mentioned that reason to the people offering the new machine. She told me she’d get back to me with shipping costs and we left it at that. This morning she spoke with my supervisor about the cost and we’ve agreed to take it. It’s hard to pass up a great machine like they’re offering.
What got me though is that she mentioned that “they have to get up and walk to the printer to get their reports.” So we shouldn’t have a problem doing it.
It’s not that I’m incapable of walking to the printer to get my print jobs, I just don’t want to walk all the way across the office to get them. And I don’t appreciate the insinuation that I’m lazy.
All I want is a printer that is capable of printing labels without smearing the toner all over the page. I make a LOT of labels, on a daily basis, so I’m sorry that I don’t want to run halfway across the office every time I need to print them.
Did I mention the new printer only prints color? And is not really meant to be used to print labels? Our reports will look fantastic. Labels? Not so much. Boo-urns.
