• Why Cant I Get a Hamburger When I Want One?

  
  Jim Kenzie's The Driver's Seat — Authority: 98
  How the heck can the Wendys in a major highway service centre be closed at 10 minutes to eleven on a weekday? Dont late-night commuters deserve a decent meal? Dont these places have some sort of obligation to the travelling public? It was the first Service Centre Northbound on 400 Highway Tuesday evening. Hiss Boo ...

  Views from the Couch — Authority: 92
  There is more than one way to skin this cat.  I admit, I have little patience for bullshit, HOWEVER, I usually do a good job of masking my desire to torch a kitten and put my head through a wall.  Give credit where credit is due!  I know that instances that puzzle me or piss me off would garner the same reaction ...

  St. Louis Neighborhoods — Authority: 109
  Some people say I complain a lot. I prefer to reason that I have quite a few pet peeves and blame my hotel background for finding the majority of the general population slightly annoying. I have come up with a list of these things as more of a public service announcement. Reading the title of this post, you may think ...

  Wine-n-Chat — Authority: 103

  In Repair — Authority: 113
  Posted in Personal I just got off the telephone with a customer service representative from AT&T who called me “ma’am” several times. Even though I don’t think I sound like a woman, this happens to me quite a bit when I am on the telephone or ordering from a drive-thru menu. The worst part of the ...

• And An EA Is What?

  
  Our Taxing Times — Authority: 113
  It’s that time of the year for lists about selecting a tax pro and getting ready to have your tax return prepared. The frustrating thing for me is how Enrolled Agents tend to be ignored in many of these articles. You’ll hear the terms CPA or accountants used a lot but the phrase “Enrolled Agent” is used ...

  Retail Hell Underground — Authority: 127
  Call me Gamer Girl (or "GG" for short), as I work in a small video game store.

  Retail Hell Underground — Authority: 127
  Im normally not a superstitious person, I didnt even realize it was Friday the 13th until my Facebook friends posted about it.  The last several Friday the 13ths were pretty uneventful, however this one is worth writing in about. I thought it would be a pretty good evening, because I was scheduled to work ...

  Dept. of Nance — Authority: 95
  A recent commercial for Stamps.com advises, "Theres nothing worse than going to the post office and waiting in line." Really?
