Also, whats with the order of the pics? Do the seasons change in a different order in Calgary?

Yep - its called chinook!

Calgary can have all 4 seasons in a 24 hour period. Chinooks are wonderful.

So I pull up to my Starbucks this mornin' on the way to the office, and I wait for this lady in an old shitbox Blazer ahead of me to park in one of the 2 spots that are open. She finishes parking, opens her door to get out and then sees me. She then quickly closes her door and starts up the Blazer, then backs it up 1/2 car length, gets out, and walks into the Starbucks without looking back once. This whole time I'm at first just kinda shocked and then I'm all WTF? and then I'm all over the horn and yellin' at her ass out the window. Bitch purposefully blocked me out of a spot for no fuckin' reason whatsover.
That's how my day started. Yippy-fuckin-ka-yay style.

Um, that was me. Sorry, I was just feeling a little raggy first thing this morning.












just kidding

i'm glad i'm semi retired

I never understood retirement until I took an extended 6 month vacation and now I'm singularly focused on when I can hang up the working spurs and stop being oppressed by "the man". Honestly, I pine for the day I can ditch my suits, business cards, maple leaf club membership and every other piece of corporate bullshit and be left alone with my fly rod, tools and dog. Until then I'm going to be the most focused, soulless corporate bastard you've ever seen.

So I pull up to my Starbucks this mornin'

OK....you can fuck with me, you can fuck with my employees, you can fuck with my channel and you can fuck with my processes and products but don't you EVER FUCK WITH MY STARBUCKS! (if there was an emoticon for evil mad here's where I'd use it)

I'm a starbucks junkie and I get seriously bent out of shape when I don't get my brew!!!

Chinooks are wonderful.

That they are! I love the fact I can go from a parka one day to a pair of shorts to the next

Days like today make me seriously contemplate some sort of menial blue collar job where I show up, punch in, do my part as a small clog in the big corporate machine, clock out, pick up a half sack of pilsner and every two weeks collect my paycheck.

I am sure all us professionals here have felt that way. I definetely have. If one works out the amount of "off hours" time we put into our job, we make less per hour that a blue collar worker!

 

[CJ Tylers]

Funny, 'cause real blue collar workers earn anywhere from $25(incl. time and a half and double time) up to $90/hour depending on your speciality

Want to rethink that corporate stance?

;P

When I worked in the corporate world, I calculated my actual hourly pay out to be the same as a Mcdonalds worker... who DIDN'T get any over time pay or vacation pay :|

I'm MUCH happier in trades/blue collar... less stress, actually compensated for OT work, job security as long as you're not an idiot...oh yeah... life is good
