  • Here in Canada we don’t even really bother with parallel parking anymore. There is also zilch when it comes to training related to driving in snowy and icy conditions. You have to figure that out on your own, so long as you don’t get a stunt driving ticket.

    The bar is so, so low and people still manage to limbo their way under it with astonishing regularity.

    Fun fact I learned just now is that termites and ants first come together at “insecta” but are otherwise entirely different. Also I was checking because I knew that ants are basically wasps and wanted to see about termites, so that’s also a cool fact.


  • My friend works as a Unix admin and his older coworker, who is paid way more than he is, is essentially useless and always slowing everyone down. Constantly asking basic questions and getting stuck on simple things for a whole day when he doesn’t ask.

    Same with driving. I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it if you haven’t put any serious effort into learning and improving after passing your pathetic, weak test 38 years ago.



  • There’s a world where management is treated as an important but not godly position. Where they are schedulers and arbitrators of conflict, and where they aren’t free from consequences because they’re already at the top. And holy hell it’s also not the place where the position is used to promote someone out of where they’re useful simply because paying a labourer more than a manager is seen as unthinkable. It ain’t this one, but I like to think about it sometimes.
