      We’re in perma grey, rainy, damp, cold, gloomy,….probably get the jist. This was easier to tolerate when I was younger.

      I’ve put on a fire and sitting by it now, contemplating if it’s too early for a glass of port and/or cognac. Then again, a scotch sounds good as well. It’s only 9:45 am…

            Just got through the first cyclone bomb and was without power for almost 40 hours. Still no home internet, but have sketchy cell phone service. The second one is supposed to hit this afternoon with rain and high winds. Can’t go to work so the weekend starts early.

              @Denman-John Stay safe and best of luck! I keep the generator and chainsaws fuelled and ready this time of year. Have had to cut myself and neighbors out of our private laneway numerous times over the years.

                        @Matt I mean is it really hard to believe that the gambling industry would interfere with professional sports? It’s not like there isn’t precedent and plenty of motivation.

                        It’s also not hard to believe that conscious and unconscious bias influence how things are perceived and acted on, and impossible to believe that officials would somehow be immune from that.

                        Think it, be it.

                            @goosehd Sound advice - thanks. I’ve had the chainsaw in the back of the truck all week. Thankfully haven’t had to use it yet. The wind & rain are picking up again so my fingers are crossed the power will stay on.

                                @goosehd It rained and blew but wasn’t as intense as the first one. The wind died down early this morning and rained on and off all day. The ferry was running this morning so we drove down to Victoria for a day trip.

                                          @tody Corporate HQ keeps changing the way they need the billing submitted in order to get paid. I speak to someone, come to an agreement on how they want things worded, and 3 months down the road everything changes. I have submitted some invoices for payment at least 6 or 7 times only to find out, that something isn't worded correctly and they can't pay until it's fixed on my end. No one ever contacts me to discuss what those changes are...

                                          I submitted a trouble ticket on 7 outstanding invoices a few weeks ago, only to get a response last night that I needed to make further corrections. I then asked via the ticket support (all online) to get a manager of accounts phone number to get this fixed once and for all. The response from them is:

                                          "Hello Vendor

                                          As per our procedure we are not permitted to contact to the manager please provide the revise copy with billing address as soon as possible for making the payment.

                                          Thank you

                                          Regards,

                                          AP Department" - copied verbatim

                                          I could say fuck it all and get rid of them, but it's 40 plus clinics now and a fairly significant source of our income. When we started all of this, Laura and I swore that we would never "work" for anyone again. Now, even though we own our own business, I feel like I'm back to working for the "man" again.

                                          Sorry for the rant.
