WELP. She/her. Very tired. Very broke. Failing miserably at adulting and life.
I’ve done nothing all day and yet my feet hurt like I actually have done something. Rude.

It would be nice if Dollarama started selling perishables like Dollar Tree does in the US.
‘I can spend it on other groceries’: Canadians turn to Dollarama amid rising costs
More Canadians shop at Dollarama as inflation reshapes spending
On a blustery, freezing Saturday afternoon, the parking lot at a Dollarama store in the east end of Scarborough, Toronto, was nearly full — bustling with people coming and going from the Canadian budget retailer.

A> when subway is closed you really see how much work it does. Sardine buses. Imagine everyone in cars.
B> it’s bananas the TTC scheduled TWO separate downtown subway closures the 2nd weekend before Xmas. Busiest time. If not emergency why not wait till January doldrums? Punishing organization.

Milk cartons that still use this type of opening should be banned and fired into the sun. The ones with the caps on the side are a million times better. I’ve never been able to get this type of carton open properly and they become so messy to pour with. Plus the soggy paper is gross.

My mom reheats food so long in the microwave that everything, including the dish the food is in, comes out so scaldingly hot that you literally have to wait half an hour before it’s cool enough to eat. 🙄

LOL try being someone with an allergy to bee stings
I mistyped an email sign off as “all the bees” instead of “all the best”. I reckon I’m going to stick with it. I can’t think of anything negative that can possibly come of wishing someone all the bees.

So I bought a new CPAP mask recently. Got the set w/ different sizes. But of course none of them fit my fat face. They’re either way too small/tight or too big. And since I can’t return anything, it was a huge waste of money because Sun Life also denied the claim so I couldn’t even get reimbursed.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) paid $18 million for a chatbot named Charlie, which the auditor general reported gave her team the wrong answer 66% of the time.
The chatbot's responses were found to be brief and lacking context, with only 2 out of 6 questions answered accurately.

You should see the people who lose their shit when they go to Costco on a holiday only to discover they’re closed 🤣
Someone at Costco just said “do we have everything we need to survive?” For the record, we are expecting 3-6 inches of snow. What the hell do you need to “survive” for 8 hours?

My mom has been unable to get a seniors’ flu shot because no pharmacy near her has them and she can’t get an appointment with her doctor until January. What a joke.

Confused as to why I’ve been searched on LinkedIn by someone who works at McDonald’s (I don’t know anyone who works there), but okay.

Agreed.
I think Ontarians deserve a 10 week work year at full salary just like our sitting MPPs get in the Ontario Legislature.

Had to rush to get ready for work, had no time to make coffee or breakfast& don’t have money to order anything. I can get coffee at work but I don’t have any food there so it’s going to be a long day. Also didn’t bring a lunch because it’s our work Xmas party today, which isn’t until the afternoon.

Why does it always take 20 minutes to get from from Beverley to Spadina on the 505? IT’S ONE STOP. If it wasn’t so cold and if my feet didn’t hurt I could have walked faster.

Had to buy new CPAP supplies and they weren’t covered under my insurance because I’ve maxed out my HSA. Fuck my life. I was counting on that reimbursement.

I did not want to go to the laundromat tonight but I am out of clean work clothes. It’s already so icy. Tomorrow is going to be a nightmare getting to work. No one on my street shovels or salts. Including my landlord. I’m so sick too.
