anecdotes

December 23rd, 2007

So, as most of you know, at the ripe age of 27, I got my drivers license. I can also assure you that hours of practice in Grand Theft Auto did not help me. First of all, the controller is way different.
Prior to leaving for the exam, there was some debate over how I was [...]

recovery

December 21st, 2007

So we had our staff party last night.
People was very jealous of my gatorade this morning.
But it wasn’t enough, so I roped some of the guys into going to the bagel cafe for eggs and bacon. Which was a really good thing as when I found John this morning, he was blankly staring at his [...]

Snow Watch – Day Fourteen

December 14th, 2007

Alright, so I’m actually a day behind on this, but snow!

Just look at it come down. And it didn’t even rain after. I’m still walking in it!

As I was warned, St. John’s is against sidewalk clearing. I haven’t even seen one of the small feather dusters that Halifax has for clearing sidewalks in St. John’s. [...]

Snow Watch – Day Twelve

December 12th, 2007

So no, I haven’t been consumed by copious amounts of snow. In fact, quite the opposite. We get snow, and then we get rain. Followed by more snow and more rain. Which turns to ice. It’s also up to the residents to clear their own sidewalk, so it’s pretty bad for walking here.
I’ll be in [...]

Going down?

Snow Watch – Day Four

December 4th, 2007

We got a bit of a storm today, but still not much accumulation.
I’m disappointed, the people at work think I need to get a life.

Snow Watch – Day Three

December 3rd, 2007

As some of you may have heard, St. John’s got hit with the snow storm that hit Nova Scotia earlier. Sunday was a bit of a mess here and we actually lost power for a couple of hours. It’s really funny to see how well you don’t know your apartment, stumbling around in the dark [...]

Snow Watch – Day One

December 1st, 2007

So I’m in Newfoundland, and it’s December. This can only mean one thing: snow.
Now I know it’s not officially winter yet, but one does expect snow in December. And everyone here has warned me about the amount of snow St. John’s receives. This also goes hand in hand with the apparent lack of management of [...]
