I was just reading an article on Maclean’s app about how indifferent most Canadians are to the threat of terrorism. The implication being our need to take it more seriously. The fact is, we shouldn’t. Aside from a couple of highly publicized “threats”, Canada isn’t exactly a commonly declared terroist target. It isn’t amping up…

A couple of years ago, we bought our daughter a netbook to use for school. She was thrilled and happy as a clam… for about a month. Just long enough that we couldn’t return it. It seems she might have been mistaken in what she needed from her portable computer. As well as running office…

Where I am at the moment, there is less than an hour until the end of rentals at Blockbuster Canada. It’s not easy for me to put aside my anger and look at the bigger picture. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about what it has meant, and will mean going forward. For…

I recently visited TED Conversations. It’s one of my favorite places to go when I’m looking for things to write about. They came through for me again. The thread I was following concerned the need for education reform. I have a daughter who recently graduated high school and is entering college as we speak. So…

Job hunting sucks. It’s one of my least favorite things to do. Sadly, at this point, it’s also unavoidable. One of the things I don’t like about it, is trying to figure out what the heck I’m going to do. I don’t have a degree or even a diploma. In today’s job market, that’s kind…

Here I am once again trying to decide what to write for the day. While I was at work, I had this great idea about the ethics of the situation with Blockbuster, but franklly, I’m just don’t have anything new to say about that. Once the court hands down it’s ruling and we know what’s…

I’m not going to write a lot right now because I have to get ready to go out with my family to celebrate my daughter’s eighteenth birthday. From there, I may be heading pretty much straight to work for the evening so might not have a chance to post later. As you can see, I’m…

I wasn’t really sure what I was going to write today. I hadn’t chosen a title or a “feel” for it. I knew there was more I wanted to say about my store closing, I just wasn’t sure what. I just started writing, and let it come. The original post starts below the line. It…

I think it’s only fair to say upfront that I work for Blockbuster Canada, but not for much longer. The most recent deal fell through, and with nothing promising on the horizon, the receiver is recommending the liquidation of the company to pay the creditors. The problem is, they aren’t our creditors. Before our parent…

I have just found out that the company I work for will be closing shortly. This is a lot for me to process, need a bit of time. Once I’ve come to terms, I’ll fill in the details. In the meantime, I just wanted to make sure I meet my postaday2011 commitment. My thoughts and…
