Maximillian saves the day!

He used to be Maxithousand, but he's proved invaluable to several employers during his career.

@ottaross if he keeps it up, he’ll soon be “Maxibillion..”

I think Scott Thompson from “Kids in the Hall” should play the lead in a Vincent Price biopic. #Monsterdon

Grr - taxes filed, but my payable has an exta $3.90 added on.

I remember seeing this last year, where it claimed I paid something late, while their own payment records showed I was many days early. To my complaints then I was told it would go away. :(

So do I bother to try and track it down and spend hours on the phone again, or do I just pay the $4 Bureaucratic Ineptitude Tax and be done with it?

@ottaross it’s so irritating that the stance of the government is to charge a late fee even if you’ve paid early.

Grandma names were pretty great in the old days.

Saw a Mabel from @Shanitoba, and an Edna from @skatem and I had a Winifred.

Anyone have a classic grandma (or great-grandma) name?

@Aussiemandias @chiasm @Shanitoba @ottaross I had an Aunt Doris on my dad’s side. She served in the Canadian Women’s Corps in the Second World War.

This is prob mostly for tea drinkers, but curious about general habits. How often do you typically boil your kettle in a day?

skatem,
@skatem@mstdn.social avatar

@ottaross I’m sure some clever person can calculate the most efficient way to make hot water. Lots of variables of course, like number of cups to be filled, the power of the microwave, the efficiency of the kettle (gas stove, electric, stove, vs electric) but is the microwave more efficient?

I occasionally find myself like this morning before desk time, making pea soup on a Friday. It feels like a nice homage to all the workplace cafeterias I frequented over the years that would always have Friday pea soup.

Is that a Canadian Thing™ only, or does it happen elsewhere too?

I guess there are some Quebec Catholic origins in there somewhere, of which I am only vaguely aware.

@ottaross How many work cafeterias around the world served pea soup on Friday, I wonder? Only two places I worked had cafeterias, and they both had pea soup.

Random thoughts: my tube of toothpaste suddenly turned into a “Tardis” a couple of weeks ago. I was certain that it was running out, and yet, it keeps on going, which makes me think it’s much bigger on the inside than the outside.

It's crazy cold out there, but we might bundle up and take a walk anyway.
