That's a Lot of Email

I have had an incredibly productive day, but I didn’t do any of the things I needed to do.  Procrastination, thy name is .. something, whatever, I’ll figure it out tomorrow.

My spell checker thinks that “thy” isn’t spelled right.  Forsooth!

I took my car in to get a free second look at my brakes, which have been squeaking ever since I had they replaced with new pads.  That shouldn’t happen.  While I was in, they replaced a broken oil dipstick funnel.  Cost of replacement part: $1.31.  Cost of labour: $35.30. Total cost of free visit: $43.57.

It’s pouring snow here—it’s more like Calgary than Calgary is—they have no snow.

Did you see that new iPhone? Dang.  I’m going to feel extra super sad when I drop that beautiful creation in the toilet by accident.

I’m at 91% of my GMail limit.  In 2.5 years, 2.5 GB of mail.  Once I hit full, what happens? I’m dreading having to open ANOTHER Google Mail account. sigh.

Overheard

“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

...who said it?

“Greatness is only a matter of will.  It is the end result of patience, determination, direction and strength.”

...who said it?

“kindergarchy n. Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.”

...who said it?

“The Northeast Blackout affected 50 million people and zero PEER 1 customers. Find out why.”

...who said it?

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “

my gmail is at 95%. again. if i delete all the spam in the spam folder that usually helps matters, but i haven't been below 85% in a couple months, and almost always over 90%. i do wonder what will happen when it is "full."
