There’s Always Time For Tim Hortons…To Shit All Over The Good Work Of Others
This,for lack of a better way to describe it, is fucking retarded. A small cafe set up in the Ottawa Hospital to help raise money to pay for new equipment has seen its revenue plummet ever since a Tim Hortons outlet opened up in the critical care wing of the same facility. Hospital officials say …

Raaar!
You know, after living on this earth for 29 years, I should be used to this by now, but it still annoys the hell out of me whenever it happens. What is it exactly? People freaking out because of the whole blindness factor. A couple of weeks ago, I decided that my French really sucks …
Time For A Newsflash! We’re Not That Dumb!
I was reading the CNIB Insight newsletter that I somehow got subscribed to. I won’t unsubscribe because that newsletter told me about the talks phone deal that got me to get a new cell phone. But today’s newsletter was full of gems. It’s Christmas, so CNIB was in full begging mode, so much so that …

Rogers Rage Update
Well, I got a response from the support Gerbils at Rogers, and wow, it was only semi-formulaic and completely useful! Amid the standard issue “thank you for using our online customer service” and “We appreciate your feedback” crap, there was a decent response! They are escalating my concerns to the web-team, and they’re going to …

Rogers Website Update
Well, I heard back from Rogers in response to my email about their inaccessible website. They said they would forward my message to the appropriate department. I can’t be sure if that’s an actual department or the big trash can, but one can hope it’s actually getting seen by someone. That promotion is over, but …
And While I’m Ragging On Rogers…
I’ve meant to write about this for a while now. Remember, in my last post, I talked about being able to get a little thing from rogers they called a treat. I ended up getting a ring tune, which is just a bit of somebody’s song that plays when your phone rings. I’m not uber …
Say Hello to a Broken Website
Ok, time to throw the advocacy hat back on, on a smaller scale. I got something in the mail from Rogers. It said I was eligible for a gift because I’d been with their wireless service for a while. I thought, woohoo, free gift! First of all, in order to get this gift, I had …
>Clearing the Backblog
>Hope you folks like these random posts, because with all that time I didn’t write, I’ve created quite a, well, thought backblog. I’m sure I’ll be able to write something more focused soon. But until then, have a pile of thoughts. Remember back in another random post, I said I forgot something? Well, I remembered …
