I found out recently that I’ve been driving around town without an official driver’s license. How that came about, I am not exactly sure but I think somewhere down the road I must have forgotten to pay for some fines and they decided to suspend my license. I think they’ve warned me before suspending it [...]

My Bell Sympatico internet connection was supposed to be ready to go as of yesterday. I’m assuming yesterday because that was the date that was specified on the welcome package. But when the day came, nothing was working.
I didn’t expect much from Bell because usually things aren’t as they say. The internet connection was supposed [...]

I think that there are some companies out there that don’t quite understand the reason for security. It’s no wonder identity can be stolen so easily. I had a few incidents where I need to change some information on my account and some of their verification process might be slightly flawed. They aren’t aware of [...]

The issue of money has been popping into my head a lot lately. I have friends who are in a bit of a jam because the place that they worked for went bankrupt. I have bills that have been piling up but when I pay them it doesn’t seem like it’s going down. Unless it’s [...]

When you work in the I.T. industry, you have to make sure that you’re up-to-date with today’s technology. One objective of mine was to get training or certified in something. My coworkers opted for certification in things like Windows Vista or Oracle Database but I decided to go back to school and get my degree. [...]

For the last few years, I’ve always gone with Rogers as my cellular phone service provider. When I first started, the price was great and so was the service but as the years go by things started to get a little expensive. Now, it has gotten to the point where I don’t need all those [...]

A couple of days ago, I received a phone call from my mom stating that the home phone was out of service. There was no dial tone and no calls were able to be made or received. The DSL internet connection uses the same line as the phone but that appeared to be working just [...]

Speeding tickets are a joke. If we’re not allowed to go faster than the posted speed limit, why are there dials on the speedometer to go faster? Why doesn’t the government demand that the car manufacturer build cars that don’t go over the limit? I think that the fastest speed you should go is 100km/h, [...]

I don’t like getting calls from telemarketers because I don’t like to be sold a product that I don’t know anything about. I prefer to research a product on my own and build an opinion of it on my own. But what’s equally annoying are calls from third party companies who are “calling on behalf” [...]

People at work can give you a lot of attitude when you’re doing something that they don’t like. Even if you’re doing your job and your job involves interfering with that they’re doing. I sometimes get that around here but I usually brush it off because I have a duty to perform. If I inconvenienced [...]
