I’m just sitting here, and I have way too much energy. Like super energy. I feel like I just drank a whole bunch of coffee, make that espresso, and I have so much energy that I don’t know what to do with it. And that’s not good when you’re working at a distress line, so …

Active Listening By The Deaf
Man. I can’t believe how people who claim to be good listeners don’t really listen. Or maybe they only listen in certain contexts, and then turn off their ears everywhere else. I said I was in training to work with people who are trying to get out of abusive situations, and that would involve learning …
Checking In, Saying Hi, Writing Things Down
I hope that everyone who celebrates it had a good Canadian Thanksgiving. Mine was great, thanks for asking. It was a good excuse for me to see my family, who I don’t see nearly as much as I’d like. It was also a good excuse for me to eat ridiculous amounts of food. The last …

Money for Nothing
Some people have a lot of balls. I was messing around and found someone’s personal webpage. You know the ones. “Hello. I’m Skippy. Here is a picture of me. I just figured out that a monkey could pretty much put up a webpage now, so I thought I’d try my hand at it. Read all …
You’re a Racist Prick, or You’re a Latent Racist Prick.
Something really pissed me off the other day. I was at this volunteer training, and part of the training is talking about helping people who don’t come from this part of the big blue planet we live on. In the room, there were white people, some black people, some people from Asia, people from the …

I Have No Idea What To Call This Post
Happy Monday to everybody. I hope you’re all having a good day, and I hope you’re keeping cool if it’s hot where you are. It’s hot here, that I know for sure. Canadian weather is just fucking weird, there’s no other way to describe it. A few days ago we were treated to some beautiful …
Random Thoughts
Here we go, running through my crazy mind. I’ve been thinking about a few things, but they all seem small and insignificant on their own, so I thought I’d throw them together and see what happened. So here we go. I was in a ZEHRS the other day, and in case you didn’t know, ZEHRS …
Total Bummer!
I got my Rogers bill today, and in it it said I could get a free gift for each of the services I have with them. So I got all excited and went to see what they’re giving away, and it looks like I can’t use any of the stuff they’re giving out. For cable, …
