I’d just like to congratulate Andrew for making the 1000th comment on this blog.
The comment - in all of its glory - can be found here.
I know that the address says that it is 1163, but when you subtract all the spam comments that have been deleted, Andrew’s is the 1000th.
Unfortunately, I was not matched with a job on Jobmine.
And now, there are so few things to apply for…
Half the jobs on Jobmine now are for OSAP students at UW, and the other half are for intermediate or senior co-op students.
So, after predicting to Binkle that my assignment may be finished before midnight, it turned out it actually took me until 5:40 in the AM, which did not overly concern me because I feel that I’ve done an outstanding job (but who knows for sure) and, I thought, it also meant I would be able to stop into Mudies for some breakfast before I handed in my assignment.
Unfortunately, Ramadan ended on October 23rd, and with it went Mudies early breakfast hours.
No big deal, I thought. Tim Hortons will probably have fresh stuff.
So, I go there. Grab a hot chocolate, blueberry muffin and an everything bagel with cream cheese. Just the pick me up I needed.
I go into MC. Up the stairs to the fourth floor and walk casually to the Tutorial Centre. I enter the tutorial centre room, because I need to staple my assignment (and I’d run out of staples at home).
I check out the staplers, and to my disappointment, I find out that they are no longer allowed to be used. They are broken, replacements have been ordered, and - until they arrive - we’re instructed to go to MC3038.
Two things unsettle me:
1) How is it that a university can not have staplers sitting in a warehouse somewhere, packed in with other office supplies ordered en masse to fit the needs of thousands upon thousands of people. Seriously? There was not a single stapler to spare for the Tutorial Centre?
2) MC 3038 will likely be closed at 6:00 in the morning.
I go downstairs to check, and it certainly is. I enter a few rooms, hoping to find a stapler, but the desks don’t even come equipped with drawers, let alone office supplies. I run around in circles looking for an occupied office with a stapler I could borrow.
No luck.
So, I find a lonely cork board displaying posters for some event, and I am forced to remove old, used staples to take home, put into my stapler, staple my assignment, and return to MC.
This sorrowful tale brings me to the current time, 6:45 AM, where I am about to return to MC. I just wanted to rant while the entire ordeal was still fresh in my mind.
There is one plus though.
Breakfast starts at 7:00 AM.
Giddy up!
I biked to MC at 3:00 AM to hand in my math assignment, and two skunks who appeared to be “running and fucking” crossed my path, spraying shit everywhere.
Nasty.

Well, there it is. 61 other me’s.
How about that?
*sigh*
I only posted this because Binkle got to the Stratford UW liberal arts campus before I did…
Bastard…
Kotaku reported this story last week about PS3 pre-orders.
First, I think that there assumptions that these means the PS3 is going to be really popular is quite baseless.
Furthermore, why is it that all Americans are too dumb to realize that Canada is also part of North America. They discussed American sales, and subtracted them from the North American total, giving the impression that there are more PS3’s left than there actually are.
And Canadians do buy games and systems. We plug them into the walls of our igloos and they get solar power…
