Construction

So, as the old Canadian joke goes, "There are really just two seasons in Canada: winter and construction."

With the way this past "summer" shaped up, it's no longer a joke, but a reality!

For the most part these days, I can not get from point A to point B without encountering some form of construction. This is compounded by the fact that the two most accessed roads for me to go north are BOTH under construction at the same time. Who does that?! And now 2/3 more accessible routes to head west in Mississauga are now under construction or are being primed for it. Like seriously?!

*sigh*

Seriously?!

This post is kind of random and a lot less heavy from what I have posted of late.  It is mainly talking about stupid people... ugh, they are the bane of my existence!

First, there has been a person who has been calling my house looking for Loblaws the past few days (with the help of caller ID I know it's the SAME person).  We get these phone calls often because our phone number is very close (only off by one number!) to the Loblaws number.  However, you would think that after calling 4 times in the last 3 days you would get the hint that you have the wrong number!!!  Like after the second time, I went to look up on the internet again to see what the number actually is and I was able to find it.  You would think that this person would be able to do this also!  Seriously?!  It took me 30 seconds!!!  I am really tempted to just tell him the number if he calls for a fifth time!!!

Second, a couple of days ago, my dad receives a letter in the mail informing him that he had won in the "Spanish Sweepstake Lottery."  Ummmm, can we say SCAM!!! Like seriously?!  Like the first time I looked at it I could tell it was a scam.  First of all it is printed with an ink-jet printer that needs to be replaced and/or aligned properly!  Secondly, there are spelling mistakes--that is another can of worms for me, I despise spelling mistakes anywhere!  (Okay, not anywhere, my students can have spelling mistakes, however, they are less than 14 years old--it is more so with adults that I get more annoyed)  Plus if you are trying to run a successful scam you think that you would at least go through the trouble of spell-checking.  But yes, it tells you a whole bunch of stuff and the sad thing for me is that some people may actually believe this in a time such as this, where the economy is where it is at and people are in desperate need for money =(

Lastly, yesterday it was a little dicey on the roads because of the weather, but stupid people make it even more dangerous by not cleaning off their windshields!  Seriously?!  You are making the roads even more dangerous because you cannot see out the back of your car, and you have limited peripheral vision!  I saw at least 5 cars that had not cleaned off their windshields before driving yesterday morning.  It doesn't take you that long to clean off your windshields if you adequately warm up your car.

So yes, this is my rant of the stupidity that I have come across the past few days!

Keen

UGH! I hate keeners! So I am going through my online course tonight after Grey's Anatomy (which was pretty good!!) and my instructor has opened the "room" for the case study discussions, and I open it only to be overwhelmed by the amount of posting that has already happened! Like seriously people, it has only been a few hours. So I closed it. haha!

I go to the discussion room and reply back to some posts, and thought I have to post in the case study anyways, maybe I'll just plod through it and see what some people have already said. And as I was meticulously going through the crazy notes/answers people have already posted online, I come to discover that it is one idiot that has posted like a crap load of stuff. Like seriously, AND to make matters worse, she didn't even do it properly!!! UGH!!!

I am quite frustrated right now, she has overwhelmed for no reason, and you can tell she is a keener because she has posted a number of text quotes that are obviously not that necessary in a case study as opposed to answering the discussion questions!!! Why do people have to be keen?!
