Learned about 4 hours ago that I have an assignment due TOMORROW for a new course that started last Friday. Holy shit - am I supposed to do academics on the weekends? I was only gonna do it during office hours...... :)
Great weekend, topped off with this blog entry. Went to the Tim Burton exhibit at TIFF Lightbox. Pretty neat. Paid homage by watching Beetlejuice and EdWood. Classically Burton. But avoid Sweeny Todd in your Burtonmoviethon.....crazy blood bath
Golden Globes on.....J Lo presenting now....finally not dressed like a skank in public. I'm such an award show junkie. Go Colin F. Public speak your ass off!
So lemmee tell ya - I've seen 2 particularly odd things this week worth sharing. First - this signage from the bowels of the TTC - that in this snowy wonderland this week - was an absolute pig pen...but I digress...
Funerals Are Now Affordable | |
Complete Basic Cremation | $1,695 |
Burial & Graveside Service | $1,800 |
Funeral with casket | $3,200 |
HST, Fees & Disbursements Included |
I encourage you to visit this site. I don't understand the Harry Potter Phoenix logo. But what is concerning that if you live in Ajax, its gonna cost you about $200 dollars more for services than if you say live in Oakville.....but generally speaking:
You can get cremated: 1600
You can get buried: 1800
Include a casket: 3200.
Sweet deal. I say we buy today and get in on the deal before the prices go up.......clearly the organization has money and is reputable clearly demonstrated by the elaborate ad campaign being used in the TTC tunnels....I guess when you are crammed in there with the herds of mole people, you do often pray for death, and might turn to these good people.
While at Italian class this week, I found myself waiting out side the rest room:
I just LOATHE it when people hand make signs......note the wet paint and womens googley eye notations. Good grief. In my previous life - this was a major issue in the labs and collection centres. Employees were forever handwriting shit on labels and what not, to communicate some damn concept in either a demotion of service, or to advise their colleagues to please "not do" something. Of course, how could we expect better, when as an organization we refuse to give staff computers and printers in the 21st century? The company will get them one day....when the world has converted to the iPad 100%, those beleaguered staff will finally get the Commodor C64 they've been yearning for, and they can print all of the "closed for lunch" signs they want on don-matrix paper.
So this week is a big one. 3 new job prospects. I might remind you all, I need one. This is my current existence:
I can't live like this much longer......I've had such a fall from grace. I miss my door and lid so much.....I want it back dammit!
Wish me luck this week kids....
Now back to the globes and all the drunk stars.......dreading tomorrows weigh in :(
