Getting really sick of this shit
The Alberta government is planning to take over the province's natural gas pipeline system to ensure tech companies and oil majors will have enough natural gas for their operations — even if it makes gas more expensive for Albertans, a leaked document reveals.
Alberta could spend billions on public gas pipelines to fuel data centre boom, leaked document suggests
The document was presented at a Sept. 10 cabinet meeting by Energy Minister Brian Jean. It lays out an expansive plan to expand the province's natural gas network by bringing it under public ownership...

Loong night & day at the ER for chest/lung/abdominal pain. It's a weird spot - upper left quadrant of the abdomen, but also lower left of the chest.

Also: I got to witness a newborn baby being pulled out of a lady's pants. I think birth started in the parking lot and finished at triage.

I finished watching the 1986 movie "Highlander". It was probably on the tame side for prejudice and racial stereotypes. Would I recommend? No. Save your time for something else.

I think I chipped part of my front tooth from grinding my teeth (fell asleep on the couch last night). Ugh.

Why are kids handlebar bike bags hard to find? I need somewhere for my kid to put his rocks, waterbottle and snacks.

Remember when flying WestJet actually felt different? That airline is gone. WestJet’s flight attendants are fighting to bring back the airline you deserve. They need public support to stop the race to the bottom. endunpaidwork.ca
WestJet Flight Attendants: Ready to strike to end unpaid work | CUPE 8125 WestJet Component
WestJet flight attendants aren't paid for boarding, safety checks or ground delays — up to 35 unpaid hours a month. See the facts about the possible strike and take action.

A new pic of Parker was released.
He may have continued to unclothe himself, so also look out for dark coloured shorts and black skechers.
I don't care if you live in the DEEEEEEEP SE.
Look in your damn yard anyways, call your friends that maybe don't know about him.
HELP TO FIND HIM.

When I see apprentices that can't get jobs - I know why. Companies are hiring labourers to do the work. Apprenticeship Alberta doesn't care who's doing the work. Why pay an apprentice when you can get a LMIA to do the job.

Anyone have a co-worker that comes back to work after their 1hr lunch break to eat their lunch at their desk. 🤦

My 3.5 year old. Lunged onto me as I layed on the couch. Laughing. Mouth open. Clamped down. On my nip (through my shirt). Ouch. Blood.

Tonight is not fun.

If you've been eaten alive, don't forget about taking a Reactine pill. It helps to reduce the antihistamine production.

I've probably got 2-3 dozen bites. One area has 9 small ones in the area of a quarter. I'm suffering here.
