Two things. One: Have any of you seen that episode of Futurama where they have advertising in dreams? I swear they've already got the technology to do that. Last night, part of my dream consisted of one of those "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads. It was a Christmas edition, so both guys had red and green somewhere in their clothing, but there was no talking. The entire commercial was an intense dance-off. Two: These are the first documented pictures of Lappy.Ain't she something? xD FUNFACT: The guys who plays PC is John Hodgman, who is also 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart's' Resident Expert.

This comes in quite random, but I was wondering how the other provinces of Canada live without poutine. Not just any poutine like the ontariens try to reproduce, but the very unique and special taste of Quebec's poutine. How do you guys do to live without such an exquisite meal?

How do we live without it? Probably because hardly anyone's actually tried it, here. I'm pretty sure that most people haven't even heard of it. I myself have never had poutine, for one.

Here poutine is quite popular. I can't eat it a whole lot because the cheese upsets my stomach. I also don't like it with cheese curds, I prefer just melted shredded cheese sweatdrop

Mmmm Poutine. whee I think I tend to like it with shredded melted cheese, but the curds are nice too. I'm not too picky. I like my poutine with ketchup though. 3nodding

Got a question for the workin' folk.
I'm starting on my quest to find employment and I have a few options.
1) Work at Superstore. More of my friends work there, so I would have an easier time getting settled in. However, this is the longest commute.
2) Work at Tim Hortons. Only one of my friends works there, but I kinda have a thing for her. It's a much shorter commute, and I would get to make sandwhiches.
3) Work for my Dad. He's coming up on a short-term job that involves re-archiving a local mills 'meeting minutes' from the last 20 years. My job would be to sit in front of the computer for 8 hours or so a day, scanning documents into the computer so my Dad can convert them into a smaller file size and then burn the whole thing onto a DVD. No commute, higher pay, but no social interaction.
So, my question is this: which job would crush my soul the least?

I hate working for my parents, I hate long drives. Which is my logic.
However, meh.

I say Timmy's too. Definitely.
You have a thing for the girl, so (speaking from experience) that's probably where you'll have the most fun. And that wasn't an innuendo.

Who's to say that you'd even work at the same Timmy's? I don't know how it is where you're at, but here when you apply at one Timmy's, your application gets considered for nearly all of them in the area gonk

No commute, higher pay, but no social interaction. So, my question is this: which job would crush my soul the least? I'm going to throw a wrench into the concensus. Because I'm diabolical like that. It really depends on what kind of work environment you're looking for. In my experience, the people I know who work at Timmy's work there because there aren't any other options viable or available to them. It's a high-paced work environment. I don't think I'd want to work there under any circumstance, because pissy public aren't my thing. I deal with them in retail, but at least I get to snicker when they turn away and not have to face a massive line-up of caffiene deprived sicophants. I'd vouch for option one, but that's just me. Despite the commute, I'm assuming you'd spend time on the sale's floor, building interpersonal skills (manipulation, bullshitting, etc.) that can aid you in your future college/university ventures (which you best pursue, in lieu of me throwing a brick at you should you not), plus it's probably less "stuffy" than the other two scenes.

Deimos And look how screwed up our Vampy is. She's a Timmy's ho. Love you too, biznatch. stare Seriously though. Sometimes I love my job, sometimes I hate it. I've been a Ho for like three years now, at two different stores. The good thing about it is you make some amazing friends... your coworkers become a second family. You can't help it. It's like the mafia. I call my job The Life, because you even find yourself stopping in on your days off, just to see who's working and grab a coffee or whatever. It consumes you. But all squishiness aside... it's a tough job. It's frustrating at times, your superiors tend to be dickheads, and customers can SUCK. People have this idea that it's not hard to pour coffee for eight hours... but it is. It's a high stress job, which is why the turnover rate is so large. If you can hack it, power to you, The Life definitely has its perks. *shrugs* That's my two cents, anyways.
