And so it begins... the first people of the season who booked our tour and then realized that we're not in New Brunswick. Despite the starting & ending points being marked as St. John's, NL and our tour description explicitly saying "This is in Newfoundland, NOT New Brunswick." 🤦‍♂️

Aside from just "patriarchy" why do you think that more women name their small businesses something like "Cindy's Hats" while men name their small businesses something like "Smith's Moving". There are exceptions of course but I find the first name/last name choices interesting.

Fucking Hoffman. 🙄

Does any place have as many tourists wanting to be invited to a house party as Newfoundland does?

Do I set an alarm for 5:30am to get first crack at @bengais.bsky.social tickets in Madrid? Or do I act like a normal person? Also... do I just pretend that euros are dollars and not do the conversion ahead of time to save my sanity? :P

If you were going to be on Jeopardy what would be the fun fact or story you'd want @kenjennings.bsky.social to ask you about?

Friskies really missed an opportunity by not adding catnip to this can.

Would the story of the Lyobov Orlova be interesting and weird enough to add to a walking tour? I mean... Billy Talent was inspired enough to write a song about the Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats. :P youtu.be/XaNpka54DqQ?...

1 job posting - 63 applicants - 6 interview requests - 4 interviews - 2 potential new tour guides. Season starts in 4 days. *eep*

If you meet with a service provider and they send you a proposal for work you wanted done, is it just standard practice to never contact them again if you decide against working with them? Or do most people send a "Thanks, but no." email?

First record that was mine: @raffic.bsky.social Singable Songs for the Very Young First CD I bought myself: Bon Jovi - Keep the Faith (I had a coupon)

I really wish there was a way that you could buy an ebook and send it to someone else's account as a gift. @mtamblyn.bsky.social any chance that could be a future Kobo thing? I know I can send gift cards but not quite the same thing.

Canada Post is a public service that costs money to operate. It shouldn't be framed as a business designed to make profits.

The most frustrating part of my job as a web designer/developer at a small agency isn't design or UX or AI... it's trying to get the correct log in details for the client's domain registration. No one seems to know who they pay for their domain or how they log in. *sigh*

I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.

I'm just a woman who got tired of waiting on a man... so I bought a putty knife and spackled the screw holes in the wall myself. #StrongIndependentWoman

I sleep. You watch.

viktor orban gonna lose so bad he has to run for a seat in alberta

Do people really like matcha that much or is everyone drinking because it’s trendy? Had a matcha ice cream in Japan…tasted vaguely of grass. 🍵

People want to trust AI will all kinds of big decisions but I just had to ask it 4 times to tell me correctly how many characters were in a text string.

One of my least favourite parts of web design is trying to track down access information for a client's domain name. It's always such a hassle between 2FA or them just not knowing where they registered it.

It’s a bit wild to me that you can be an F1 driver without a driver’s license. Racing at 300km/h? Sure. Drive a sedan to get groceries? Nope. Since the racing pipeline starts with kids & go carts I kind of can see how it could happen.

With the cost of ferry fuel, airline fuel, and car fuel potentially about to go way up, it feels like a bad time to live on an island. 😬

Just watched the speed round of an episode of Canadian Family Feud and one of the questions was "Name a country in Europe known for its architecture" and the two people answered "Egypt" and "Paris". 🤦‍♂️

I think they should hand out “I Survived Costco on a Saturday” stickers when they check your receipt. Anyway, $300 later I have cat litter and a hot dog…and a few other things.

Asking for the ref at the hockey game here - are you allowed to grab the stick of an opposing player and yank it out of their hands?

They just passed a gigantic Newfoundland flag over the crowd during the Ode at the NL Regiment game and it felt like I was back in elementary school when it was parachute day in gym class.

I just read "your barista doesn't owe you their social energy" and I've decided I've had enough internet already today. I'm going to go subject myself to freezing rain and shovel about a foot of snow.

“Time to fill the trenches”? Is the social media team for the Regiment ok? I think they’ve lost the plot a bit on this one.

Anyone need a CD copy of WordPerfect Office 2000 (2 discs) or Adobe Photoshop 6.0 (Education edition)? No? 😬

“Maybe we should remove the luggage racks from the train that was built just to go to the airport” is absolutely peak Toronto www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...

USA vs Venezuela at the World Baseball Classic final feels rather poignant.

TIL: Cathy Jones is a conspiracy theorist, anti-vax, pro-trucker rally, and against MAID. Well...that's disappointing.

The shout “Go Fast!” Takes on a whole new meaning when you’re at a Sceptres game.

Not the game outcome we wanted but I did enjoy that everyone collectively decided to boo whenever Britta Curl touched the puck. #GoSceptres

My second draw at the Brier and I’ve come to two conclusions: curling rinks are colder than hockey rinks and…I need a cowbell.

How did red and yellow become the standard colours for curling stones? I haven’t googled it…just sitting here at the Brier and pondering.

I’m seeing Steven Page backed by the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra tonight…and I Am Pumped. Brian Wilson with an orchestral arrangement? Get out of here.

Web developers these days don't know the historical significance of spacer.gif and it shows.

I wish the City of St. John's had taken a Mamdani approach to some snow clearing after the last week's dumping. What if they created a bunch of short-term, well paid shovelling jobs to at least clear stairs and bus stops. It's scary seeing people forced to wait in the street next to a bus stop.

I kind of want to buy some Toronto Tempo merch mainly because I think it looks cool but with the secondary benefit of supporting women's sports. I doubt I'm going to become a basketball fan again but I'm into their retro logo vibes. Is that weird?

How do we get Ryan Reynolds to invest in Canadian bobsleigh R&D? If Flava Fav can sponsor US women's water polo, surely we can find a Canadian to sponsor sliding sports. We used to be a powerhouse.

Which is it Danielle Smith? Do you have too much immigration or not enough?

Two absolute hockey legends about to face off against each other at their final Olympics gold medal game soon. I think silver is going to look really nice on those blue jerseys. ;) #GoCanada

I complete misunderstood what Kelsey Grammer's Jesus Revolution would be about. Thought it would be more of a secular movie about hippies in the 60s. Only reason I didn't leave early was because I was trying to avoid dealing with mice at my house.

Pro of downtown living: it only took me 30min to clear a path from my door and around the car. Con: I can never again leave without fear of someone taking my spot.

If toady is both Lunar New Year and Shrove Tuesday, should I just make Taiwanese scallion pancakes for supper?

Entire elevator bank is out of order at St. Clare’s. No need for a new hospital though right @govnl.bsky.social ?

One benefit of listening to vinyl in the home office is that it comes with built-in stand-up-and-stretch breaks every 20 minutes or so to flip sides.

It is the year 2026. Why can't I have a "ship by ___" filter on Amazon? They know the date ranges when I load up the individual product. Is it to push Prime? I just want to filter out the things that will take a month to reach me.
