What's going on people? Anybody out there? No? Okay then...
The world cup is over. I read on the news today that the English fans, who's team were eliminated in the quarter-finals, were estimated to have spent some 235million POUNDS on beer alone since their team went out. That's pounds STERLING. In Canadian dollars that equates to roughly half a billion dollars. More than, actually. Imagine what that much money could do for some poor, starving nation in Africa. Oh how many people it could house in war-torn Afghanistan. OR think of how loaded you could get all in the name of competition! WOOHOO!
Speaking of money, it's a rain day at work today. I woke up at about four in the morning to a massive thunder and lightning storm thinking that there is no way I was going to be able to work today. After a bit more sleep I woke at my regular hour of six-to-the-a.m. and it was still raining. Half an hour later my boss called and told me to go back to sleep. All these rain days are making it hard for me to save money for my move to Western Canada...
On the other hand, I've got the day off! Enjoy working for the "Man", suckers!

Good times Adam... days off for rain. I'm considering cutting a hole in the roof by my cubicle (all the way to the roof 6 floor up) so I too, can have rain days. It does suck that you can't make any dough, but I'm sure you'll find something constructive to do. We'll be in town in a few weeks so I'll keep you posted.
