As part of my “doing the work of three people” adventure today, I decided to give myself the lunch hour of three people. Like my forefathers before me, I hunted and gathered at the Peter Street Deli, dragging General Chicken back to the cave of the Snail office where JVL set upon and devoured it. <\/p>\n
I’m looking to perform some “ergonomic improvements” at the Snail office: it could use some shelving, more lights, and a slight decrease in the ridiculous number of boxes crammed into every inch of space.<\/i><\/p>\n
JVL’s previously-mentioned work-related “to-do” list was daunting, so I offered to take on the task of hunting down companies that could remove the massive 33″x47″ iron radiator. It probably weighs about 400lbs, and has become a traffic hazard. A professional waste removal company came by today and said that not only is the bloody behemoth to big to budge, they may have to break the fucker to get it down the stairs. And breaking it could harm the structural integrity of the building. <\/p>\n
Where’s Lou Ferrigno when you need him?<\/p>\n
The other project for the store is getting a better camera set-up to take toy product photos for the website. I’m thinking of a 3.2MPS camera with a tripod, two 50W halogen table lamps and a light-diffusing cocoon to take the glare off the plastic packaging that most toys are in. <\/p>\n
On an unrelated note:<\/u> I know I shouldn’t laugh at the misfortune of others, but I get the weekly crime report for my neighborhood emailed to me by the district police, and this week the last incident on the report made me laugh out loud. <\/p>\n At the intersection of John Street & Weston Road – a Neighbourhood Watch Area in Old Weston, and very close to our house – a lady got her cell phone stolen. But not in the usual manner. The victim was standing at the street corner waiting for the light to change and had her cell phone in her hand. The suspect was in the passenger seat of a motor vehicle driving by and he reached out and grabbed the cell phone from the victim’s hand. The suspect vehicle then left the scene and drove south on Weston Rd.<\/i> <\/p>\n JVL rightly pointed out that this barely qualifies as a “robbery”: it was more like “passing the cell baton in the cell phone decathalon”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As part of my “doing the work of three people” adventure today, I decided to give myself the lunch hour of three people.
