Another snowstorm here in Toronto. It took me 3.5 hours to get to work today. The only thing I had for company was Exit Stage Left by Rush, their live CD from 1981. I was never a big Rush fan, but I’m a huge fan of this CD. Perfect arena-sized rock. I regret not going to see them at this stage in their career. It was entirely possible for me, a young lad living in Toronto, to see this Toronto band at the peak of their popularity, but I never did. I guess rocking out on a packed bus filled with shivering grumpy commuters is as close as I’ll get…

All-Around Bad Day
Just an all-around bad day today. Our little company was supposed to be moving into funky new office space this month. We’ve been wrangling back and forth for weeks over the offer to lease. The offer was accepted, and yesterday my boss met with the building owner. He said it went very well, and then today we found out the deal has fallen through. No reason given. And the company we sublet from now needs the space immediately. It could be working from home for a while for us, or worse, not working at all for me. Who knows? Part of the reason the deal could have fallen through is that we may be guilty by association with the rest of the “high tech” and “dot com” companies, even though our company is technically a business services company. We’re more like Kinko’s than Cisco.
Canadian TV Nostalgia!
Oh boy. Canadian nostalgia! This brought back memories of a few other TV programmes from the ’70s. Anyone remember “Definition” or “Party Game”? (via Heather and mikel)
Third Rate T-Shirts
Some third rate t-shirts are now available. In future, just click on the link that says “Consolation Prizes“. They’re too expensive to ship to Canada, so I don’t know what they’ll actually look like, but go ahead.
