We'll see. As mentioned in my original post I rarely use credit. However I do take year long or 6 month contracts and I have to rent a house and almost all houses in the areas I go to work are now with an agency. You can't explain that your 805 credit rating went to 600ish over $137. They just see a credit score number.

One time I offered to pay the rent for a year in advance in cash and the person told me he didn't want any drug dealers in the house and said no lol.

Either I was abducted by aliens, or hit the snooze alarm 14 times without remembering a thing, or my alarm spontaneously decided that I deserved to sleep in on a work day. Everything was set the same way it has been set for two years without a hitch. (aside from forgetting to turn it back on Sunday a couple of times. But I'm retarded therefore not responsible for those)

Now, ages ago, I did have a clock that I finally realized was not user error but in fact would just not work a third of the time. But that was back in the day where you had to redo everything every time the power blipped or someone in the room farted or if you touched any button after turning the alarm on and you had to cover all the dials with tape so they wouldn't get moved. After missing class for the third time in a week I fixed that one by throwing it out a window.

Actually, I threw a lot of things out of that dorm window. I peed out of it a lot, too.

Also I feel like I got approximately four minutes of sleep. But my anus isn't sore so I'm pretty sure I wasn't being anal probed on the spaceship all night with Randy and Sir Douchebag.

People who tell me the "Oriental" should be used to only describe objects (e.g. rugs, salads) not people. Apparently I missed the SJW class where "Asian" is the only acceptable nomenclature for that general race.

I did that a few times way back when Kreugen. I'd manage to turn off the alarm (next to my bed) without even waking up. Then I took up a dual system. One alarm clock by my bed, and another on a table across the room, set to 30 minutes after the first one. If the first one didn't wake me up then the second one would, and if the first one woke me up and I wanted a snooze then I could count on the second.

Later I bought a "solar alarm clock" (I live in the north). It starts to brighten 30 minutes before you set it and gradually goes to full brightness over the next half hour. Wakes you up naturally. Best investment I've made!

People who complain about having so much snow to shovel. You had a huge warning that it was going to snow all night and you just sit there in your Pjs drinking Hot Coco watching it pile up past the window. Just man up and go out once an hour shovel that shit real fast until its over. Then sleep in and actually enjoy your snow-day.

Arby's wrapping sandwiches in metal foil. Have you perhaps considered I might want to put it in the science oven? You don't put metal in the science oven.

You are in BC surely you have a snow-blower.You still have to go to work if its going to snow for 72 hours straight? I live in the Alps and have to plan around snow storms but I don't feel like anything less than a meter at one go is an issue. I have a large area to keep clean and it takes me more time to put my boots on then to actually clear it if I go out every hour or two depending on the snowfall.My point is for all the people who know their will be no work the next day don't wait until the morning and if you do then I have no pity.

I do not have a snow blower, i have a steep driveway (which is the biggest problem with my current house) which feels like its on a 30 degree grade. I pretty much fall down it once a year shoveling. I dont regret buying this house, but i fucking hate that driveway. If its a crazy snowfall i will do it a few times, generaly when i get home from work then before bed, then in the morning. But every hour? between 8 and 5 i am not coming home to shove that shit. We dont do "snow days" in canada, unless you live in Vancouver...
this one time, when i had to stay late for work, my wife got home early and did the whole driveway before i got home. It was one of the best moments of my life....


Big P, I could heat every driveway in Canada if i could somehow bottle up your rage against the world.

I guess I just learned the hard way once about shoveling snow. I decided to go snowboarding all day long during a massive snow storm. By time I got home it had snowed just over a meter in the 12 hours that I was out. It took me the better half of the next day to clear all that and was boy was my back sore. Last year we got about over 2 meters in a about a day and a half, I went out out just about every hour or so just depending on how hard it was coming down it takes less than 20 minutes to knock it out. plus the dog loves playing in the snow. I just take a hot coffee with whiskey out with me.

I would love a heated driveway also, but we rent and I am not paying to have that installed. Our friends have one that leads from there shared underground parking and it went out in the middle of the storm last year. it turned the drive leading up and out into a sheet of ice. 10 cars stuck underground for 2 days until they could get all the ice cleared.

I've never lived, in my entire life, in a place where it snows. Not even once.

So damn rustled right now that I've never had the joy of digging through metres of snow, so that my driveway can be clear and I can head off to work.

I just bit my lip. Now I have to be extra careful every time I eat until it heals, and eventually I'm going to forget and bite it again in the same exact spot and make it worse.
