And another thing…

Clear your part of the fucking lane! The second two feet of snow is going to make it hell for everyone… especially someone driving a tank of a van.

Bastards!

Tanks for nothing

I often drive the shop van home.

It’s a Ford E350, which if you know anything about vans, is like driving a tank.

My driveway is at the end of a closed lane. When we get 2 feet of snow in a day and a half, that lane can become a little difficult to back down. I back down it because it’s easier to drive out in the morning.

I’ve gotten quite good at parking this beast.

Even in spite of the fact that my neighbor parks like an asshole. I can’t remember the last time I saw her park parallel to the road side.

It’s not angle parking, bitch!

The Global Village.

I think Twittervision perfectly encapsulates what the global village is all about. People connecting from all over.

It isn’t always accurate (sometimes the placeholders are off), but it is damn interesting.

You sit there and watch the globe spin. Time falls away. The actual tweets don’t matter so much as where they’re being posted from.

Whether you twitter or not, definitely take a look.

Don’t screw with me!

There was a missing document for all of our instructor paperwork.

So everyone of us made time to get it done. The paperwork was faxed off.

Then two of us missed signing a document.

They came in and singed. That paperwork was signed.

Those two are now fully qualified instructors and the two of us whose paperwork was right on the first fax are still waiting.

WTF?! Are you serious?

This isn’t how I want to start my teaching career. You obviously looked at them all to find out that the second two people were missing signatures.

If you have the documents, process the damn thing.

Update: Processed… finally.

I’ve become a Facebook lurker!

What have I come too?!

I have a FB account for my shop, but as previously mentioned, I despise FB.

I have Twitter for micro-updates, this site for major ones and an assortment of online services for photos and such.

What do I need FB for?

And yet, I’m on there every day! Checking to see what’s new. Checking to see what my “friends” are up to.

How did this happen?

Did I mention I despise FB?

No more!
