Hey Yogis,
One of the things we learn through yoga is to move through our lives both on the mat & off with steadiness and ease. You may have heard in class the phrase, sthira & sukha.
According to Patanjali's Yoga Sutra's, sthira & sukha is defined as a steady, comfortable posture. Cultivating steadiness and ease in each pose requires a combination of effort and release — effort to hold the pose and maintain a grounded foundation, and release in areas of the body available for relaxation in the pose.
Sthira and sukha can also describe the breath. With each inhale arises new energy that can be channeled into strength and steadiness. With each exhale release is possible. Tapping into these qualities of breath brings about an awareness of the breath that naturally embodies sthira and sukha.
So while practicing, with each breath try to inhale sthira-steadiness and exhale sukha-ease to transform your practice.
When off the mat...
Sthira steadies and clears the mind. It can remind us to stay steady/strong to our Self no matter the situation or challenge we face. Sukha puts us at ease, opens our hearts, and helps us let go. Sukha reminds us to "go with the flow," be at ease with an open mind no matter what the situation is. You know the phrase "stay calm and carry on." That's sukha!

At a certain time in its history, India was ruled by regional strongmen. The government in Delhi was powerless to impose order in the country. Law and order was collapsing across the land and the economy was in shambles. The lawless 18th century after the end of Aurangzeb? Think again, the situation is not very different from the present, the age of Sharad Pawar, Karunanidhi, Mulayam Singh Yadav, the Badals and the Chautalas.
Illustration: Jayachandran / Mint
As the Congress party and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tie up alliances, their plight is evident. Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP) demanded a national "alliance" with the Congress which, if they succeed in sewing up, will leave the Congress with anything but a national share of members of Parliament (MPs).
The BJP is no different. It has had to align with Ajit Singh's Rashtriya Lok Dal, a party hardly known for sticking with alliance partners. In any case, both the Congress and the BJP are in a parlous political condition in big states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, among others. This does not bode well for them and, in turn, for sound governance of the country. Unless they're able to secure a large number of wins in big states, they will have to rely on alliance partners from across India. That is the rub of the problem.
In a polity where small parties with a few MPs can determine the fate of a government, the system of cabinet responsibility is a polite fiction. One just has to look at the performance and accountability of various ministers in the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. The controversies generated by the telecom, civil aviation, agriculture, health and family welfare ministers (the list is considerably longer), requires no elaborate commentary. The Prime Minister was either reluctant or powerless to crack the whip on errant ministers. Governance was the first victim.
The biggest problem, however, is cronyism. The Indian economy is still "regulated" by the Union and state governments. Even today, a ministerial favour or a whim can enrich a private company immensely. In the situation outlined above, it is impossible to arrest corporate fraud and loot of public resources. Ministers from small parties have no compunction in giving away precious resources to private bidders. If the next government is dependent to an even greater extent on alliance partners than the UPA, the outcome is a foregone conclusion: ever-greater corruption and much-diminished ministerial accountability.

The Universitvknowledge *for whom ,

But two factors have changed this somewhat. One is that business has become more and more concentrated in the hands of huge multinational corporations, whose continued maintenance requires large economic numbers of administrators, planners, and social manipulators who are either employed directly by the corporations, or exercise their socio-economit management functions as governmen t ' employees. Since the old model of competitive, laissez-faire capitalism has been replaced by a corporate, planned, welfare state, there are quite a number of "social service" jobs dealing with welfare, pension plans, health insurance, social work, and so on. Most of these jobs require a great deal more education than was necessary in the past. The other factor is technology. Many employees today are trained scientists and technicians, who work in the corporations' research labs and carry out technical functions all the way from the production line to the manning of the everpresent computers. These people, too, usually require a university education. Therefore, while just over half the employed labor force in Canada is still in the industrial blue-collar category, increasing numbers of workers are university edTraining ucated "professional" people. these workers is the most important of the functions of the modern university, and despite the persistence of the -elite, community of. scholars concept of the university, it is now a mass, public education institution in much the same way as the elementary and high schools. Now, it is true that the people who go to university still tend to be predominantly from the upper levels of society. According to the 1961 census of Canada, 23.3 percent of Canadian men are owners or managers of business (other than farms) or work at occupations that are classified as 'professional'. Yet a 1965 survey by the Canadian Union of Students showed that 48 percent of Canadian university students had fathers who were members of the occupational group. The remaining 52 percent of the students came from 76.6 percent of the working population who are employees and farmers. The Dominion ' Bureau of Statistics showed in 1964 that 54.1 percent of CanadTo understand what modern universities ian families make less than 5,000 dollars' a do, one must first take a look at the nature year, a figure which despite inflation and of the modern labour force.

I those jobs that required a skill or a university There are many factors that produce craft were basically manual labor.
What's a university for? "Teaching and research", is the usual answer to that question, but unfortunately, it doesn't say very much about what a university does. It does not tell us what is taught, who is taught, what the social purpose of the curriculum is, what research is done, or how research is used. It gives us a formal description, not the reality. Some people are not really very concerned about that because they perceive scholars to be free agents in society, neither employers or employees, people who stand aside from society to study it with detached objectivity. Universities are their specialty, protected preserves where they can contemplate the natural and social world, and pass their wisdom on to the young. This is a myth that is fortunately dying. It must die because it is so inaccurate that it becomes more and more difficult every day for even the most tradition-bound academic to apply it to what he experiences. But the idea that the university is somehow neutral, even though closely related to society, dies hard. There are consequently many ambiguities in current thinking about education ; for example the authors of the famous Hall-Dennis report on education say in one breath that schools should in no way be political, and in the next, that schools should inculcate the "national ideology". The fact is that universities are not neutral-they cannot be neutral-but are integrated thoroughly into the structure of our society, and serve the interests of those who have the most power in society. In modern society, the most powerful institutions are the great (and usually American based) corporations, and the most powerful people are those ,who own and control the corporations. This group controls the economic power of society which provides the practical capability of solving problems and meeting people's needs, all the way from building dams and railways and communications media, to providing houses, food and clothing. It is the interests of this powerful few that the university serves, above, and even against, all others.
this bias in the enrolment. One course, the cost. Even with the stud plans that have been implementec the 1965 survey, the cost of tuition, and living' costs (which amount to $2,000 for an eight-month academic are still extremely discouraging, downright prohibitive, to families I less than five or six thousand do Low income people are VC year. luctant to borrow, and with good for they cannot afford to be in dc pay the interest on student loans. students today are completing their graduate education two-or three tl dollars in debt, and as unempll rises, their job prospects are nc good.

parents had had without one. Moreover.' as social power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of the owners of growing monopolies and conglomerates. the status of '*middle class" or professional jobs, in terms of social power and independence in their work. is decreasing. Consequently. in nearly every discipline. universities are preparing students to be workers who serve the corporate bosses. Technicians are often so specialized that they will be unable to comprehend the general nature of what their work is about. and accordingly make good employees ,Fho fit into 3 job *slot. and take orders from Scienabove without much ques-iioning. tists study nature in isolation from society. and accept the myth that they are not responsible for or competent to understand how their findings are implemented English students rarely are in society. en&raged to discover the social and historical backgrounds of the periods which gave rise to the literature they study:and consequently more easily accept the notion that cultural expression is a matter of individual inspiration which is beyond the capacity of the masses. who must be allowed to wallow in mediocre and sterile culture. History students learn about the genexploits of kings. nobles. bishops. seldom about erals and businessmen. labor movements and the history of "little" people. and they learn about events in isolation from historical processes. Hence. they are induced to believe that only the powerful few can make history. and they cannot comprehend the historical processes that must be understood if man is to be the master of his fate. Social science students are taught theories of behavior that exclude any understanding of human values: thus they become good social manipulators who will see such things as a workers' strike for better wages or a movement for social change as a breakdown in the system that should be prevented. Economics students learn theories that support the pursuit of profit. which led one University of Waterloo economics professor to tell his class earlier this year that the way to fight inflation is to freeze wages-not profits. rents. and prices. In nearly every field. specialization so fragments any understanding of the world. that students find society so incomprehensible that they can only permit the powerful few to go on making the decisions. The other principal function of the universities is the carrying out of research. and once again this "pursuit of truth" Its serves profits more than people. characteristics are quite similar to those
of the course material taught to students. for it is based on the same values. philosophies. and methodologies. The funds for research come largely. from government agencies such as the Defense Research Board and the Canada Council. and from industry. Rarely will any funds go to a project that is not in the interests of the powers-that-be. But more significantly. regardless of where the money comes from. or what the hopes of the researchers are. their findings are implemented only insofar as they are financially profitable or improve the administrative stability of the corporate society. One can find many examplesof how this requirement of profitability prevents research from meeting people's needs. A University of Waterloo scientist recently wrote that the technical means of ending pollution exist. But look around. and we find that few are being used. that little is being done to implement these means politically and economically. In the US. a medical researcher told an ABC news reporter not long ago that if the government would give the same priority to medical research that is given to the space program. he could guarantee that cancer could be wiped out in ten years. Yet American medical research centres while the incredibly are being closed. profitable space and missile industry expands. and employs -nearly all the available American research scientists. And the list can go on and on. It is the nature of th& market which makes the job-training aspect of the university what it is. Universities are supported insofar as they can produce the human capital necessary to profitable production. and most students demand the courses that will make themselves salable commodities on the job market. It is because they are being trained to be profit producing commodities for the corporations. rather than people who can freely and creatively use their knowledge
to benefit their fellow man. that students often complain : "My courses are irrelevant". Some people are beginning to become openly critical of this kind of system. They are beginning to see that their education serves profits more than people. and that they themselves are not an elite. but a part of the labor force being trained to act for the elite over and against the rest of the labor force. Last year, for example. a delegation of students from the University of Waterloo Engineering Societies to the Congress of Engineering Students in Montreal made the following comment in the briefs that they wrote : "The desire of the people in control of the major corporations of this country to make more and more money is seemingly incompatible with the necessity of providing people with a better living condition". They perceived that there is a conflict in their own profession between the employer engineer. and the majority of engineers who are employees. They saw that the employee engineer has a great deal more in common with the less educated working people than with his professional colleague who is in an ownership or management position. "It is morally inconceivable that one can justify professional people "scabbing". when people are outside on the picket lines fighting for what they believe is necessary to their comfort and happiness. A respect for unions is essential in this regard. and a disrespect for the common rules of humanity is indefensible." And they added: "...unlike the true decision-makers. it is the engineer who must influence a chan& ing attitude...It is the professional engineer %ho must join in the fight for humanization of working conditions. both within the ranks of their profession, and outside. in the ranks of the people who freeze on picket lines for another five cents an hour. ' '
A number of other students and some professors have been working to redirect the universities toward the service of working people. Their work has included such things as: l the critical analysis of aspects of the curriculum and research which bias it in favour of the continuing power of the corporate owners. l pressing for changes in curriculum and asking that new areas of research be entered into. such as. fcr example. labor history. l doing some research and studv in their free time. and working with *offcampus people such as labor. tenants. welfare recipients. and Indians. on matters neglected by universities. or handled by them in an anti-human way. l pressing for more democratic university decision-making structures that will allow changes to occur without the conflict that presently results when changes are demanded in the existing rigidly au thori tarian system. l pressing for a student aid system that will allow all people to have equal financial accessibility to university without the necessity of going into debt. l urging a greater recognition of the common interests of students and working people by such programs as urging students not to scab against workers while on summer jobs. Unfortunately, such people are still a minority, and they are frequently branded by university administrators and the press as irrational, building-burning anarchists, or ungrateful 'brats, much in the way that business, government and the press h;ts traditionally slandered the labour movement. Moreover, they cannot succeed, even if their views become accepted by the majority of university people, without similar changes throughout society. The universities Ean only serve working people if working people get together and demand mat changes be made.

Housing costs still going up .
Housing has long been an issue of major concern, but in recent years the situation has become critical. The Economic Council of Canada estimates that 41 percent of Canadians live on or below the poverty line ($1,800 for a single person; $4,800 for a family with five children. ) The average income (1967) for Kitchener-Waterloo was only $5,448; average family earnings amounted to $6,800. In 1967 an income of $7,000 was reauired to get an NHA loan. The figure is now about $8,300. What hope is there that the average working man will ever be able to own a home, especially when you consider that a $25,600 mortgage costs $62,000 over 25 years, $72,090 over 30 years, $81,000 over 40 years? These figures are calculated at 9 percent. NHA loans cost about 9.8 percent and conven%onal mortgage rates run to 10.11 percent. The average selling price of a home in-KitchenerWaterloo for new and used homes together in december 1965 was $17,137; in december 1966, it was $19,415; and by december 1967, it had risen to $21,683. Mortgage rates (NHA insured loans) have risen from 6.25 percent in 1965, to 8.25 percent in 1966; and are now approaching 10 percent. Given this high rate of interest, and the increasingly hight income needed
How Ontario Next time you open your pay envelope, look at the amount deducted for Ontario Health Services Insurance Plan. Last year the Ontario government. overcharged the workingman of Ontario $39,000,000 for medicare. Thats right, thirty nine million dollars! And where did the money go which was milked from your pay cheques? One place it went was to giant American and Canadian corporations who are sharing in the biggest steal in Canada's
to even apply for a loan, Kitchener-Waterloo residents are increasingly being forced to rent homes or apartments. From 1961-66 there was a 7 percent drop in home ownership and a corresponding 7 percent rise in tenant occupation. However, from 1963-66, rents increased an average of $3.80 a month! A family with a low income and several children will find that the rent required for adequate accommodation is extremely high. Of almost 2,000 families surveyed in a K-W apartment study, 38 percent had an income of less than $5,000 per year, and 60 percent had an income of less than $6,000. This fact would suggest that the lowest income families are not living in multiple residential units (high rise apartments or town houses) which averaged $140 a month in 1966. Since they could not afford their own single homes, it appears that these people are living in converted houses or above commercial establishments. '_ While the government recommends that, ideally, a family should spend about 25 percent of its income on housing, most are paying 40 percent. Rents and housing costs continue to skyrocket. What are the component parts of the cost of a house? According to a survey done by the National Research Council in September 1968, this is the breakdown for an $18,000 home: land cost, overhead and profit-41.2
the poor
percent; materials and equipment rental-45 percent; labor-13. percent. This seems to destroy the popular myth that rising wages are a prime factor in the increased cost of housing. The price of land has risen over 100 percent since 1962 and the cost of servicing, over 125 percent. Someone is making ai profit on housing at the expense of most homeowners or potential buyers. From all indications it is the land speculators and investment dealers who are forcing prices up and increasing inflation.

Survivalist Info aims to be a comprehensive information database and resource for Survival related subjects. Video, images and text into one website.
We are entirely independent and set ourselves apart from the singular types such as the disaster, prepper and bushcraft sites.
We are apart from the other Survival Sites out there because we embrace the Survivalist notion of Total Survival. This means it isn't just about Prepping, it isn't just about preparedness, it isn't just about SHTF disasters. It's about them all and then some! That is what it means to be a survivalist, not just one but a synergy of all facets of the Survivalist ethos.
That's a bit about the site, now what are you waiting for? Get stuck in and start exploring things!

Effective use of design is arguably one of the most important aspects of creating a memorable brand. There are plenty of paid services you can use to create branded content, but new business owners often don't have the budget (or skill) to invest in more complex marketing tools. If you're looking for a free option that is easy to use, with almost complete creative control, look no further. Because Canva is the option you are looking for.
Canva is a phenomenal free design service that allows you to design almost anything you could possibly need for your brand's social media marketing. With predefined templates for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest posts, along with a million other templates you might encounter as a business owner, Canva is your go-to service for branded image design.
In this easy step by step post, I'll show you how to use Canva.
- Visit Canva.com, and create a free account.
- There will be a 23 second tutorial demo for you to watch. This demo goes over the basics of how to use Canva. After the demo, there is an interactive tutorial in which you can play with the features.
- In the first step, the tutorial wants you to change the color of the circle. Simply click the circle, select the color of the circle in the Options menu, and change the color to your liking. You can also enter custom HEX colors by clicking the Plus sign in the circle under the color Options menu.
- Next, we're going to put a hat on the chimpanzee! Go to the search bar in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Enter the word "hat," and choose from the selection of free hat icons to place on our little friend.
- Now we will update the background of this slide. Click on the Backgrounds option on the far left menu. Choose from the background colors listed, or upload your own JPG or PNG file.
- For this slide, we'll put a picture of our favorite food in the box in the middle of the slide. Enter the name of your favorite food in the search bar in the upper lefthand corner, and choose from options provided.
- This slide wants us to choose a custom layout for the design. Click on the Layout option in the lefthand menu, and select a layout option. To change the pictures in the layout, simply select the image, and update it according to the images you would like to use.
Tutorial complete! Now it's time to create your own beautiful designs!
It really is that simple. Intuitive, functional design that even the most inexperienced small business owner can handle. They really have thought of everything!
Now that you have the basics down, you're ready to start designing like a pro. The best part about Canva is that the majority of the services and design options are completely free. If you do choose to use a premium design or icon, it's only $1.00. That's right, only $1.00. If you're wondering how "nice" the free options are, and whether that $1.00 fee will add up over time…well, I've been using Canva for YEARS and have yet to pay a cent. Every need has been creatively met by the available free options.
Canva most recently released a service called Canva for Work, in which you can use Canva to create all of the branded content that you will need for your organization, as well as collaborate with other designers in your organization to perfect your branded content. This is a paid service, in which you can choose to be billed monthly or yearly, with discounts for paying annually. Even as a paid service, Canva leaves its expensive competitors in the dust by being able to create compelling and effective designs for a fraction of the cost of many of the more complex tools.
To get your started on your design journey, here are a few idea of what you can create with Canva:
- Social Media Headers and Featured Images
- Infographics
- Blog Graphics
- Blog Headers
- Inspirational Graphics
- Flyers
- Engagement, Wedding, Graduation, Pregnancy, Birth Announcements
- Invitations
- Greeting Cards
- Album Covers
- E-Book Covers
- Menus
- Recipe Cards
- Email Signatures
- Advertisements
- Gift Certificates
- Business Cards
- Resumes
The possibilities are virtually endless. Happy designing!
PS. Remember the "KISS" (Keep It Simple, Stupid) rule when designing graphics for your blog or brand. Design tools can often have us trigger happy before we even know it, littering our marketing pieces with special icons and a million fonts with all of the bells and whistles. Ditch the clutter and reign in your excitement – Be sure any graphic you create is strategically focused and clearly depicts your voice and brand.

Growing Older cannot be avoided by anyone. Some people do not show the signs of growing older as much as others. The following tips will help you feel young for a longer period of time.
One method for handling age gracefully is to quit obsessing about data and measurements. You will drive yourself crazy obsessing over your age, height and weight. Let your doctor worry about the numbers, and they will tell you if you need to focus on anything, instead spend your time focusing on more important and fun things.
You should not concentrate on the numbers of your life. Stop fretting about your age, height, and weight, and let your doctors worry about them if need be. By dwelling on your age, your weight or if you're shrinking, you will miss out on important things in life, things that can keep you youthful.
Having too much sugar in our diet is a large factor in our longevity. Sugar cuts down your lifespan, and it is one of the direct causes of aging. Studies show that too much sugar can reduce the lifespan of any animal that can ingest it.
Make sure you eat healthy foods. Your diet should contain lots of fruits and veggies and you should limit the amount of fats and sugars you ingest. Eating a healthy, balanced diet gives you the energy you need to live your day to the fullest while feeding a healthy body and mind.
Have a little fun! This is a great time for you to do the things you want and to make wonderful things happen. Take all you can out of life.
Be careful and avoid falling down. Falling down is the main source of serious fractures and other injuries leading to death among senior citizens. Walking for thirty minutes, three times weekly aids your balance, while maintaining your physical and mental fitness. Keep your bones strong by lifting weights and getting enough of calcium and Vitamin D. This will reduce your chances of getting a fracture.
As retirement approaches you should consider starting a new hobby. Now that you finally have plenty of time to focus on yourself, it is important to renew your interest in the things you once enjoyed. Hobbies provide you an excellent conduit for engagement and interaction with pursuits away from your home.
Blood Pressure Checked
One of the best things you can do for your body is to have your blood pressure checked often. If you have high blood pressure you may not even know it, that is why they call it the 'silent killer'. As you age, it's more and more important to have your blood pressure checked regularly so a problem can't sneak up on you. If you know about high blood pressure early, you'll have time to solve it.
Your doctor can give excellent advice about the proper anti-growing older supplements you will need. As an older individual, you should consume a balanced quantity of multivitamins, antioxidants and if required, anti-inflammatory medication. These will give you some energy and help you with some other getting older issues. Integrate these supplements into your daily self-care plan.
Hold on to all of your medical paperwork. When you keep your own copy, you will have easy access if you need to change doctors or visit a specialist.
One way to stay looking young is to avoid smoking, as this will lead to early wrinkling. Smoking can cause wrinkles around the mouth, making you look older than you are. So, to stay young and vibrant looking, find a program to help you put those cigarettes down.
Increase your intake of anti-oxidants every day as much as you can. Experts agree that getting enough antioxidants can prevent free radicals from causing problems. Fruits and veggies that are dark-colored will have the most antioxidants present. Good choices include blackberries, blueberries, tomatoes, spinach, squash and carrots.
Give yourself regular facial massages to reduce signs of growing older. This helps blood rise to the surface of the face, which gets rid of bags and wrinkles, as well as saggy skin. Massage your face with circular motions, using three fingers.
Taking care of your skin can greatly slow the getting older process. Our skin can really take a beating, being exposed to so many different elements. Being out in the sun too long without protection can advance the formation of wrinkles as well as skin cancer.
Don't focus on your age. People do age differently and your actual age is not as important as your physical condition. If you feel old, then you are old. You can be one age but feel as if you were much younger. It is important to not let your age dictate how you act and feel.
Growing Older
How to avoid the downside of growing older? Tiredness, putting on weight, disease and 'senior moments' of blank memory are the dreaded accompaniments of growing older. Maintaining fitness and health through sound practices of daily life can help avoid these things. The advice is simple but takes determination to follow. You should eat a healthy diet, and keep your attention with challenging activities. Doing these regularly will go a long way towards maintaining a rewarding life.
Think of grocery shopping as a way to select nutrients, vitamins and minerals through your food choices. It should be like hitting the vitamin isle at the pharmacy. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain powerful antioxidants, which will help your body feel great during the growing older process. Go for natural food that will do your body good and skip out on junk food.
If you have read the advice that was given here, you will be armed with the knowledge you need to stall the growing older process. Apply these tips and remember that age is about how you feel on the inside, not how you look.

This is what happens when Spoken Arabic gets cancelled
Actually, it's more like what happens when we wait for half an hour at Spoken Arabic, and then the teacher doesn't show up, and then the library printers only print half of the readings that I need to do by...July.
(Ew, I'm totally a real blog now...)
[A] :: Accent: Canadian
[B] :: Breakfast Item: Toast and/or fried eggs.
[C] :: Chore You Hate: laundry. Because the machines hate me. Also, the kittens that use the laundry room as their personal powder room just gross me out. It's like, "aw, aren't you fluffy? and covered with diseases? I shall name you Toxoplasmosis*, and I will love you and squeeze you forever and ever..."
*you know, toxoplasmosis? What people can pick up from cats? Google it. It's what has probably been making me sick since there's cat guano all over the damn place, and in the air vents since they've found a hole in the laundry room ceiling and in the main building you can hear them in the walls, and my god, that's got to be a health hazard. *
[D] :: Deli Meat: Gross. Moooooooooooooooooooo.
[E] :: Essential Everyday Item: My buspass. And credit card.
[F] :: Flavour Ice Cream: Chocolate chip cookie dough. Only, if it was just the cookie dough, that would be okay too. In fact, if it was a tube of cookie dough, and a spoon, and maybe a can or two of whipped cream, that would be just perfect
[G] :: Gold or Silver?: Silver. Gold is so eighties.
[H] :: Hometown: Thornhill
[I] :: Intelligence: Lots of it.
[J] :: Job Title: None. I want a work permit. Then I will work at Aroma and take over the coffee-drinking world. Yes...excellent...
[K] :: Kids: God forbid. After being a camp counselor for 12 thirteen year old girls, I want my tubes tied. Call me in 5 years.
[L] :: Living Arrangements: Single-room Talia Dorms at Haifa University. Replete with Toxoplasmosis.
[M] :: Motto: It's not easy being green.
[N] :: Number of Significant Others: Yeah, totally macking it up in the Holy Land.
[O] :: Overnight Hospital Stays: Almost one yesterday, but as of this moment, none.
[P] :: Phobia: Needles and the witches under my bed
[Q] :: Quirks: Before I go to sleep, all the closets, drawers, and doors have to be closed and the shades have to be drawn. Otherwise, the witches will get me.
[R] :: Religious Affiliation: Jewish
[S] :: Siblings: My brother Alex...who SUCKS.
[T] :: Time You Wake Up: Too Damn Early
[U] :: Unnatural Hair Colours You've Worn: None. I'm too conventional for my own good.
[V] :: Vegetable You Refuse to Eat: Vegans
[W] :: Worst Habit: Biting my nails.
[X] :: X-rays You've Had: Both feet. Also, probably a ton of my teeth.
[Z] :: Zodiac Sign: Aries

I'd just like to say...
Like the woman who could spend 30 minutes trying to convince me that I should make her new high-def TV work (which I already explained I couldn't do) instead of taking five minutes to look in her owner's manual (which I advised her to do repeatedly). No, instead she wanted to explain to me - yet again - that the SERVICE TECHNICIAN (who specializes in setting up video) couldn't get it to work.
Or the woman who repeatedly yelled at me because the technician didn't arrive when he was supposed to. After I told her that I'd sent a message to dispatch. After I'd assured her that dispatch promised they would do everything they could to get a tech out. After I'd explained that we had done everything we could do. She STILL wanted me to know what she would do IF the technician didn't show up and IF her cable wasn't fixed and IF we lose the war in Iraq and IF hell freezes over....
You get my point. People are just freaking STUPID.

Truth is, the less educated a society the MORE they procreate. Look it up, I dare ya!
My #1 idiot of the day is the guy who waited all day for a tech and when he had 2 hours left in his wait, said he wanted to reschedule to another all day. And HE was upset at ME. hahahaha! fool.
- August 19, 2005 7:33 PM
I dont like that not every technician has a phone, how can we get ahold of techs if we dont have thier phone numbers or if they dont have a working phone? Um, telepathy?
- August 19, 2005 9:27 PM
Techs don't want people to be able to get ahold of them. Because they don't want to get yelled at. That is your job! And do you know why these people are so ornery and demanding? Because they can't stand to be home in their own houses without tv! ha ha ha ha! I am so freaking glad I have a library card.

Mom: Library card!?! What is THAT exactly? Someone pass me the remote.
Fan: All techs should have phones. Period. Why am I not running this company?
Assassin: You know what we really are, don't you? We are the verbal punching bag for people who do stupid things (like not pay their bill) and need to deflect their anger on someone else. Seriously. And we get paid a grand $10 an hour to do it. Can you kill me now?
