Agreed. Remote work is the way of the world now (unless the new solar tsunami fucks up the internet). Good luck on getting the new role.

Finally! Yesterday drive home temps were in the mid 70s. It felt good. I hope we are turning now into autumn temps and can leave the 90s until next year.

Have you ever had a colleague who you dislike so intensely that it becomes a serious barrier to your day and quite unhealthy that you can't get passed it? Well today I found out that person has handed in their notice. I am celebrating big time.

I mean, it's alright....but then I live here, so it's kinda boring for me.
Doing anything fun? There's plenty to do while you're here.

If you go, take Justin Bieber with you.
I don't think that burn is as relevant anymore though. Who is the more contemporary pop star from Canada who has relocated to America and is polluting our greatness with poncy pop hits?

He was headlining the 'Made in America' festival in Philadelphia on Sunday... above Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. Outrageous. Almost certainly got paid more than them too.

Leylah Fernandez making you guys happy?
I caught the highlights of her match against Svitolina. What a pure delight of excellence on the court she is. Love the run she is on.

just got my salary upped quite a bit. It was a complete surprise to me, I had not asked for anything (to be honest I'm thinking of changing jobs again). My boss called me into his office, and there was his boss again too. I was thinking I had made some kind of terrible mistake but instead I got congratulated with this

Might very well be, and though it pains me to break away from my normally humble persona, they would be in a serious bind if I got a new job.

Wow, Fernandez into the finals. You guys smiling yet?
Here's another one for you guys. Larry Walker (Colorado Rockies!) into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Only the second Canadian to do so. Smiling yet?
