Here in the lower mainland and on the island the geese sometimes never leave. Their instincts have been overtaken by the mild climate and the human-made food sources in our parks and what not. Many do still migrate, but there are flocks that stay too... either the very dumb ones or the very smart ones. Not sure. :P
There used to be a bunch of them living in Brooklyn. But they were getting in the way of the airplanes so the parks dept rounded them up slaughtered them and fed them to homeless people.
I was super upset about it until I learned that goose is actually a thing that people actually eat. So I figured it wasn't the worse thing in the world.
So my job is to track truck drivers who are A) not scanning and b) running 1.5 hours or more late on their deliveries, I track these drivers and send out regular email updates through out the day on each one...
A sales rep just emailed me and asked if I knew why a driver who IS scanning is late....
NO DUMBASS, HE'S SCANNING! I haven't talked to him today because he's scanning, he's just late, shit happens, I don't know what that shit was because I didn't have to call him today...they know I don't call them if they're scanning, and I have no idea why they even care at this point because he's almost done, if they cared they should have asked me hours ago when he still had half his route to go...and NO I'm not about to call him to ask why he's late and set him back even farther...OMG our sales reps drive me crazy!!!
I've been there. Except our guys didn't have GPS or scanning, it was a low-tech op. We actually had to get them all new phone #'s and there was a "clear desk" policy put into place so that the sales reps who came into the office couldn't find the drivers' new phone numbers. Sales reps can be flat out pathological when they make ridiculous promises without bothering to check if there's any chance in hell of actually keeping that promise.

Yeah, I have to keep my numbers hidden as well...it's ridiculous. But yeah they shouldn't make promises until they check with us first...but they do, without fail, every day!

There is a supervisor here, not mine, but he's a routing sup, he is so goodlooking, it's a sin, this guy should have been a model or something....I mean he's gorgeous!

And I looked that sup up on Facebook and his fb pic totally blew my image of him...Lmao...he's a dork...but it's endearing...haha so it makes him a normal guy....

I was in one of those planes that hit those fuckers, on my way out of Manhattan, and I have never been closer to dying. So I'm pretty glad those bastards were butchered.
On a side note, yes, apparently they're yummy. When my dad immigrated to Canada in the 60s he was too poor to buy meat, so he'd go to Stanley Park and throw his coat over geese and break their necks and cook them for dinner, lol.

Yea I mean population control has to be done if they pose a threat that great. And like I said when I learned that you can actually get goose from certain supermarkets or butchers and they were taking these to soup kitchens I changed my tune. Better than them getting sucked into an engine!
I was walking my dog at 6:30 this morning, as usual, and it's pitch dark, as usual for this time of year, but also really foggy. When we were walking through the park the barred owls were hooting away. Wonderful, and a little big spooky.

I feel like an elitist fuck right now, since yesterday and today I've been at work, which is on a small mountain, basking in the sun, looking down at the blanket of clouds that the rest of the city is wallowing in. It's a dense fog everywhere but here. \:D/ The tops of the tallest buildings are right under the surface of that cloud, lol.

Yes it is. That's where I work (and graduated from). Did you go there?

No; in fact, I had to ask you about it because despite having lived in Vancouver on and off for more than 10 years I have never been to SFU. I just thought I recognized it from your description and the groovy '60s building! I did my degrees at UBC.

I agree!! He's just so cheesy and contrived.
Whoever writes his gags should be shot.
You are neither easy to open or re sealable.
Stop lying.
