I try my best not to blog about covid-19… I know it is useless to rant about it, because we are (literally) all in the same boat. Whining is futile, and quite honestly, I think that everybody is tired to read about it. I am too. But it makes me really angry when I see…… Continue reading I’m in…
. . Dear WordPress, We’ve been good friends for almost 5 years now, and quite honestly, I’ve put up with your occasional glitches because that’s what friends do. I tried to find them endearing, thinking you had character and did things your way. So you can imagine how excited I was this morning when I…… Continue reading Dear WordPress…
Oh no they won’t… I know we discussed this before, but now it seems to be happening. WordPress has started forcing bloggers to use the new(er) ”block” editor. I am not happy, to say the least. Of course I get that some of you like the new editor, and believe me… Good for you!…… Continue reading Block editor? Thanks, but no thanks!
For today’s challenge, I decided to focus on pet peeves related to traveling… Because I miss being able to travel, and I guess a (very thin) silver lining to this pandemic, is that I won’t have to put up with these annoying people for a while. So here it is… My top three pet…… Continue reading What are your Top Three pet peeves…
For those of you who wouldn’t know it by now, my job is to provide technical support over the phone. So, to vulgarize, I spend most of my days playing the detective and trying to solve myseries and fix problems, based only on what I hear and what I say. I wouldn’t say that…… Continue reading Five annoying types of callers…
Yesterday we had our eighth Skypy Sunday Chat Session. (yes, I’ll soon stop counting!) We’ve been doing this for two months already… Woot woot, us!! Thank you, Suzanne, Jay-lyn, Trina, Simon and Larry, for the visit. The meeting started with a lot of complaining about the (hellish) weather, most of said complaining coming from…… Continue reading Thank you… and you! and you, you and you!
I am sorry for having been quiet in the Bloggosphere today. I spent most of my afternoon and evening genuinely pissed off. If you’ve been a regular in The Cove for the past almost four years, you know that our office has been constantly short of at least one person since I started this…… Continue reading This rant is taking off in 3…2…1!
OMG. I need to vent this out. If you are a regular in The Cove, you might know that one of my goals for 2019 is to keep negativity at the lowest in my life. Seems like a simple task, but when you start trying to avoid unnecessary negativity, you find out how fecking omnipresent it is,…… Continue reading Just thinking…
Ok. Can someone tell me what happened to holiday movies this year? Usually, during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, we get flooded with all the Christmassy classics. Cartoons (Astérix, Tintin, Lucky Luke & co), stories involving animals (Hatchi, Marley & me….) and more conventional holiday movies (from “Miracle on 34th Street”…… Continue reading Just thinking…
When I was in college, one of my favorite classes was philosophy. Maybe because most of my classes had to do with science, and implied much learning by heart, and calculation, and remembering formulas to apply in a certain way. Philosophy, though not simple, seemed like a break from all the scientific stuff. One…… Continue reading Just thinking…
