I always confuse amicable and amenable when I'm talking and realize it as soon as the wrong word leaves my mouth. It's a tortured existence.

Make yourself a simple man and just stick to "nice" and "dumb" and you'll be fine Darkstone :wink: Although I can't guarantee that you'll be happy with the results.

My son just finished his Christmas tournament. They were 4 and 0 going into the semi final game. The organizers structured the playoff round so my sons team and the other burnaby team (also 4 and 0) would meet in the semis instead of the finals

The other semifinal game had a team my sons team beat 9-3 in prelims versus a team the other burnaby team beat 10-1 in prelims :ohwell:

To be fair ( :gaah: )I wouldnt be posting this if my sons team won their semi game lol

I have the sad duty of reporting that the Oasis Car Wash on Kingsway has permanently shuttered. I for one am going to miss those guys in their orange jumpsuits.
But maybe, you can be the one to save them

Too late, it appears the property has been sold and it's anybody's guess what new business venture will be next to try their luck in that location.

People to push the button for a crosswalk 20 times thinking that it will make the walk signal come faster.

Another driving one: I hate the guy who is leaving a parking lot and merging correctly into the right lane, but he wants to get all the way into the left lane because he's got a left turn to make coming up quickly. So now, he's got his hand out the window and asking other drivers to stop and let him through so we can all make this more convenient for him. F You. Just drive straight and make the first possible U turn that comes your way.

People that think that just because a movie makes a lot of money, it must be good.

I spent some time applying for a job I was probably qualified for on Monday, updated resume and wrote s new cover letter. Logged into the account yesterday morning and found out I am already no longer in consideration. One needs at least 24-48 hours to pick up on all the subtle humor (u) in my resume and cover letters.

This sucked because it was much closer to me. I'm just miserable enough at my job now to look for closer / better jobs than I have now. Just a bit more miserable and I will start applying for everything.

Business analysts who fire off e-mails without checking the underlying data first to verify that my code changes are indeed working correctly.

2 different pasta boiling situations.

One, I hate when I over boil it and it becomes mushy

two, when the boiling water rises over the pot and splashes all over the oven
