I saw a commercial on TV tonight that freaked me out: the US Elections are in 3 days. Our Canadian elections are in a few weeks, and we've sadly been reduced to voting for the lesser evil (as in "Who would screw the country less?"). You have a similar choice in America, I think. To offer my 2k worth: yes Al Gore lacks charisma. Yes, his V-P running-mate is a Board member of the PTC... but let's face it: George W. Bush is in many ways Dan Quayle with a different name. He's stupid, mean-spirited, and spearheading a party that plans to drive the country back into financial doldrums while looking to start a war somewhere, hoping to recreate the economic boom WW2 brought. The Republicans back in office would be a disaster for women, ethnic groups of any flavor, and generally anyone who isn't a rich white male. Mind you, that's just my opinion, and you can take it or leave it. Just make sure to vote. My motto is "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain."

I was very annoyed yesterday: another member of my Readaptation group called me yesterday - NOT to make sure I was doing OK though. No, she called to make sure I'd be present at a conference we're having next week, because I'm supposed to say a few words.
Geez... if I was doing much worse than I am, I think that conference would be nowhere near my thoughts.

No doubt about it: I'm in a personal level of Hell right now.
I learned from a doctor yesterday that a rash and itch I've felt since the past weekend comes from Shingles. At a much younger age then folks usually get it, and I 'lucked out'.
If you don't know what Shingles is: remember getting chicken pox as a child? Me too; like many, I had 'em then. Shingles is the adult version that comes to some of us who had it already.
You'd think that, having years to learn more self-control, you could handle it; not so. I have to keep chanting the mantra of "Don't scratch that itch. Don't scratch that itch..."

For work tomorrow I'm reminded how ineffectual Adapted Transport can be: I reserved it telling them I had to be there for 8:30, finish at 3pm.
So of course, they only have a transport available at 8:35 to bring me there, and 2:45 to get home. Which may likely cut several hours from my office day.
Sheesh.

Tiring day... I worked on the contuing job of cleaning and packing my apartment; after filling a box with recycling and throwing out a ton of plastic junk I still haven't made a dent in the clearing out of my computer room. sigh

I just posted a decent-sized article on the ABomanation blog on Fight City. I haven't been as frequent a poster here because Blogger has been giving me a lot of grief posting to Jazzlife.

I noticed from my tracker stats that folks are finding this Blog while looking for Alyson Court through search engines...
Sorry if I'm not providing you much on this delightful young lady in your searches... but I have to say: you have good taste.

I forgot about Daylight Savings Time starting today in Montreal. I could have gotten another hour's sleep!
Instead I had an extra hour to face the fact that as of this morning, there's snow on the ground. :[
