BOYCOTTING TIM HORTONS

Tim Horton's has good food and drink. I like it there and used to go there often. After today I don't think I will be making the trek back to Tim Hortons. Its not the long line ups that has be straying away, its everything else about it! First of all we live in 2008 why has Tim's not gotten with the times and gotten debit. That is my first problem with them. Mastercard or cash those are your options for payment at Tim's. Why?? If you have a mastercard machine then surely all other forms of payment should be acceptable. Who carries cash these days and this discriminates against those who don't have a mastercard or cash! How can one just get a cup of coffee if all they have is debit with a few dollars on it. I understand this because being a student sometimes this happens, you have no mastercard but you have 10 dollars on your debit card. Not enough money to take out of the machine but enough to buy a coffee with your debit card...at any other establishment besides Tim's. The other problem I have (which happened this morning) was my husband and I had a mastercard and were very much willing to use it to get breakfast at Tim's. We ordered our food only to find out that as we were using our mastercard, the machine was down. All of a sudden the lady at cash cancelled our order! WTF?
So we were following Tim's rules and yet we were still shafted. We had a mastercard, we were going to use it and yet we still had to get breakfast from somewhere else. Now I understand that Tim's cannot give free food away all the time, but considering the fact they had made our food and drinks and then to cancel it was very frustrating. There was no dealing with the situation, it was pure and simple our machine is down you have no cash, ordered cancelled.
I wouldn't normally vent about something like this if something like this did not happen everytime I went to Tim's. You have to understand I go there like once every two or three months and every single time a problem occurs and I either leave with no food, or it was a fight to get it or some other problem and everytime I say I am never going to go again and somehow I end up there again at a later day.
This is the last straw, I am officially boycotting Tim's. Get with the century and get debit and maybe I will visit again.

Avoiding an essay

I am avoiding an essay that I should be writing. When it comes to writing an essay there are many things I can think of that I should be or could be doing rather than writing it. I have been working on this essay for the better half of the evening however I find my self trying to find other things to do. I can only check facebook so many times before I realize that nothing new has happened in the last five mins. MSN is not that exciting, no one I really have a desire to talk to and well the internet itself is pretty boring. This is where I am glad my friends have introduced me to blogging, so here I am blogging about how boring and sometimes tough essays are!!

I find it very difficult to write an 8 page minimum paper. What do you say?! I am sure if you picked a good topic there is lots to say, my problem is that I can't think of anything to say, nothing!! I am on the first paragraph of my introduction and that is a struggle. I am wondering how I have ever left a paper to the last min in the past. It takes a certain person to write very good papers, of course I can get by with an ok mark but writing an excellent paper takes skill, skill I am afraid I do not have.

Well I am afraid I have to continue the paper progress since I am only on the first paragraph of minimum 8 pages.

Alright now I have something to talk about!! It is the day before Easter break and I have to write an exam, annoying yes but it can be dealt with, what cannot be dealt with is the fact that my exam was cancelled today!! My prof, who got her TA to send the email out, said that the weather was too dangerous for us to drive in. Some might find this considerate of her, I would have found it considerate too if she did not send the damn email at 8:30 AM, a time in the morning when everyone is getting ready for the day or for most leaving their house, to drive in the dangerous weather, to arrive to the exam on time! Had she sent it the night before that would have been considerate. Its not like the weather is not posted on the news like every 10 mins about what its going to to do the next day. So now I sit in the library with nothing to do until my next class. You would think I would have lots to do because I am a student but I did not bring anything to do because my plan was to write an exam, go to my next class and go home. However this plan is not panning out, hence why I am writing this blog today. Its to waste time and vent about profs and their "kindness". So not only was the exam cancelled it is now scheduled for the day after we get back from break! who wants to study during Easter Break??

Anyway that is my morning and its only 11 am, I hope the day gets better!

Bored!

Hello all



Well this is my first blog session ever so forgive me if its not in tune yet, I am sure I will get better as the blogs go on. There will be lots more blogging to do, life is not that unstressful that there won't be something to write about.



Well I am sitting here at 845 pm waiting for Allister to get home from work, he is about 4 hours past due and I think a raise is in order very soon seeing as how he has been at work late for the past two weeks!

I am not really sure what I should talk about..i have nothing in particular to say. I guess I could talk about how excited I am that this semester is almost over, however, that excitement will fade when I have to return in July for summer session. I suppose I have lots to say when it comes to school. The first thing I would like to say is that I think that sometimes there should be school for those who are just out of highschool and want to piss away their parents money and have no idea what they want to do with their life and be immature and dumb. Then there should be a school for 25 year olds and older, a school for those who know what they want to do, understand the value of a dollar and don't act like idiots everytime a cute guy walks by. The other thing I would like to say is that just because the sun is shining and its not snowing out does not mean that anyone wants to see girls' crotches!! I know you are dying to get them out there when first sunlight hits however its unneccesarry! One more thing i wish people would shut up in class!!! I don't like telling people off in class but I will do it again! Is it really that hard to not talk for one hour? No its not, so just shut up!!

I lied..one more thing, I need some new music. I am so bored with mine that I can't stand it anymore. If you have any ideas of anything good please let me know!!!



Anyway I hope my first blog session has been everything you hoped for and more. I did not have much to say...i did not need to vent or say anything important at this particular moment, however I am sure there will be times that something will need to be said.
