Daffodils

When I was walking down the street today, a lady stopped me and asked: "Would you like to buy some daffodils to support cancer patients? They're going to die soon."

Bad luck with planes.

I'm having bad luck with planes.

I'm trying to take a one hour flight from the Interior back down to the coast. Nothin doin'.

My flight (on Air Canada) was delayed, delayed, delayed and then canceled on account of bad weather.

The next flight leaving town this evening (via WestJet) was canceled due to the plane being struck by lightning.

The first flight out of town tomorrow is canceled on account of freezing fog this evening. (I don't know what freezing fog is, but the airline attendant assured me that it's at least as bad as it sounds).

The next available flight on either airline touches at 11am tomorrow. If that flight goes according to plan (crossing fingers) I'll arrive at the work around noon to one (only two hours late really, not that bad). Should it get canceled as well, I'll take a bus and be in for Wednesday morning.

Stupid daylight savings time

I knoe that Daylight Savings Time is supposed to save energy. But I don't really understand how. *I* certainly have less of it.

The greatest discovery of the week.

Two years ago someone called me at work and left a message that would change my life. The message itself wasn't important -- what was cool was that it emailed a copy of the voice mail to my inbox and I could listen to my phone call in iTunes (yeah, I know, not that high tech, but I'm easily amused).

Today, I found out that it works in reverse. If I call my voice mail it will read me my email. (And yes, I did spend the better part of my morning emailing myself personal affirmations and having the British lady read them back to me -- "You are awesome!"). No more "reading" for me - I can communicate electronically as a complete illiterate!!
