The Most Narcissistic Thin I've Seen.
I'm sure a lot of people have seen this already, the Life Size Wedding Cake of a bride in Texas. It's got to be the most narcissistic thing! This isn't even her wedding, it's a vow renewal. Take a look at the photo's & the article.

Common Sense Rules for Life
Just some helpful hints for life to help you out, & also to keep you from being the victim of out & out rage from the quite nice person who you've annoyed so much that they snap and bust in your head on the bus because you were to self centred to take off that DAMN backpack that kept hitting them in the head since you're 6'4 & they're 5'1!!!!!!!
Ahem, excuse me.
Rules
1) Stand in line at a bus stop, showing up & then butting in front of everyone, or pushing the old person to the side is not only rude, but it shows that you were too stupid to graduate from Kindergarten.
2) When a bus arrives, wait till all the passengers are off the bus before trying to get in, where exactly are you going to go if they're trying to get off. This rule also applies to subways.
3) When on a bus or train move away from the doors, people are trying to get on & off the bus & you standing in the way does not help at all. The exception for this rule is if you are only going one or two, maybe three stops from where you got on.
4) If you happen to have a giant stroller, please move further back in the bus than the first seat at the front, it is really hard to get around those damn things when you're getting on the bus.
5) When using the escelator it's always stand right walk left, there's even a sing for that one. This rule must be eplimented durning rush hour.
6) When using the Tim Horton's drive through it is for drinks, tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. You can get food, but only if it's a quick order, like a doughnut you know you want or Timbits all of one kind or if you let the server choose the Timbits for you. If you want a meal, GO INSIDE!!!
7) If you are a smoker & you are outside do not light up while walking in a crowd, it's not only annoying, but can be dangrous.
8) When in a supermarket, dept. store, etc & are using a cart, do not leave it in the middle of the isle while you look at something. Also the isles are made larger to accomidate at least two of the carts so stick to one side.
9) Remember that when you are talking to someone on the phone at a call centre there is a real person on the end of the line. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't real.
10) The saying you get more flies with honey than with viniger is true, the nicer you are to customer service people the better your experince will be & the more they will go out of their way to help you.
11) Yelling at customer service people might get you a deal right away, but in the long run you will be known at that bitch or bastard by the whole store, restaurant, call centre.
12) Don't piss of restaurant staff, they control your food.
13) All customer service people talk about customers, good bad or weird.
14) When going to the midnight opening of a new blockbuster movie it is ok to save someone a place in line, but once the theatre opens it's doors, it's first come first serve for seats. Leaving coats on five chairs is just not cool at all, if your friends are too lazy to line up with you they don't get good seats.
15) When working customer service always remember that your job is to deal with the customer, to help them out, not to talk with your friend about, well anything. Customer first then you can talk all you like.
16) When on a bus remove your massively over stuffed backpack & place it on the floor between your feet, this gives more room for people to get on the bus & it's also less likely for you to be shoved aside when people are trying to get by you.
17) When getting on a bus keep movnig back so that there are no gaps, you can get a tonne of people on a bus.
18) Remember seats on buses or trains are for people, not your backpack, jacket, or your right leg. This doesn't apply if the bus or train is virtually empty.
19) When driving remember that there are pedisterions on the sidewalks.
20) Don't jay-walk for a bus, especially on busy two lane streets, there WILL be another one along in a few mintues.
21) When driving & turning a corner ALWAYS remember to look both ways, not just to make sure you have room to go, but also to make sure there isn't someone trying to cross the street, especially if they actualy have the right of way.
22) Remember when driving, you are NOT the only car on the road.
23) When it snows & you're driving remember to slow down, you do not have a lot of traction or control in these conditions.
24) Remember that just because you like certain music, doesn't mean everyone else does.
25) Remember that everyone has a camera at their ready these days, so if you work for the government remember you can be photographed being an idiot.
26) When driving a bus full of people, with a lot of them standing, don't do that move forward in tiny increments because the light is about to change, it's hard to stay standing up, or if you are sitting down it hurts your neck.
That's all I can think of right now. I know a lot of them are about public transit, that's because that;s what I use. If you have any feel free to add them.
Ahem, excuse me.

I Work in the Artic Now
IT'S COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really is, I'm sitting here at my desk in a blanket I brought from home. They say it's to keep the computers from overheating, but I think it's one of many tactics for trying to get us to quit so they don't have to pay us anymore money.

Anit-Day went on for a while
So my anti-day went on for more than the day. I did get stuff done, worked on my resume, went to Red Lobsters on Sat, & had an awesome Sunday family dinner, but didn't really want to do anything else, except watch TV. Thankfully I'm done with that right now, I can't say I'm done with it forever since that kind of feeling comes every once in a while. I've got so much on my mind right now. I also picked up a few new apps that I like, one's all about goal setting. it's called Goal Workshop. I've just started with it today, it started with brainstorming, & trying to come up with 50 or so personal goals is a lot harder than it sounds! I went with the big ones, be financially free, learn french, get married, buy a house, but after you spit out those & others like traveling, which in my case included mentioning each place individually, you start doing really random silly one's just trying to make it to 50, like I will finish reading my knitting for dummies book sometime this year. I even got my friend to help me out by asking what some of hers were, mind you with her it's mostly about owning stuff(she has possession issues) & then we got totally carried away with some of the most ridicules things like owning islands & having bubble babies since we don't want them getting hurt. It was all & all a fun day at work.

It's Choose Your Own Weather Day!!!
At least that's kind of how it feels. Today the forecast here in Toronto is for perception, they can't really be more specific than that, it'll all depend on the temp. We're going to get snow, freezing rain, rain & I'm sure that sunny patch's might be thrown in knowing how Toronto goes. If something truly freaky happens don't worry I will post about it. :)

Just a Quick Post
My Nanny is back from BC, she's here for a few days before she goes back home to NFLD, which is going to be fun. Right now my bro is watching Bravo with some Celtic music on, my mom's doing dish's & I'm knitting. There's been many discussioins of all kinds of things here in my place, everything from the indie Toronto music scene, to taxes, to baby issues.

Benefits of Outbound
I'm trying to look on the positive side of having to do surveys at work, since I'm going to be doing them for the next little while. I was originally told that we need 300 completed surveys & we'd be done, now I'm hearing that it's just for the city we're calling. After this city is done we've got 2 others to hit up, & there's a whole other outbound project coming up. So I'm totally updating my resume & also looking for other sources of income, & trying to find tax breaks. But since I'm at work right now & looking into all that stuff is going to take a while so I'm making due.
So what's good about Outbound? Well since a lot of people aren't home in the afternoon there's a lot of breaks between calls so I can chat with the other agents, & today I drew. Yup I brought my sketchpad & pencil crayons to work, it felt good to do that while dealing with getting hung up on, yelled at & whatever else can happen.
So it's the Silver Lining for outbound.

Singing in the bathroom at work
I said to a co-worker, I've grown up in Toronto, I'm used to strange things, especially because I worked downtown during both Carribanna weekend & Pride week, so I'm used to strange. But I walk into the work bathroom out here in North York & there's some chick sining in the stall! She was Ok, I probably wouldnt' pay for her album(which is how I judge how good someone is). So I walk I here this girl, I can't see her, she's in the stall, I thought maybe she had headphones on & didn't here the door open, so I go in a stall & I pretty much slam the door behind me hopeing that she would realise she's not alone & stop singing, but no that didnt' work. Even after all was said & done(ie done with why I went to the bathroom) I came out of my stall to wash my hands(as EVERYONE should, but that's another post) & she's out at the sink sitll singing away. Strange.
I don't even know what she was singing about but it had baby in it a lot.
