    Greyhound shipping here in Canada is by far the cheapest way to go.

    I routinely send hunting and camping gear or other shit from BC to my family in Ontario , and I just use Rubbermaid plastic totes to hold the stuff. Drill holes in the lid and then zip-tie them in place, and it's convenient as hell to stack/carry, and well protected from weather, damage from other freight, etc.

    Cost is usually around $35 per tote, FULL of heavy shit, and it gets there FAST. From Toronto to Vancouver is usually 4-5 days.

    Boy Scouts.
    They're actually not as bad as groups in the past...I'm just not feeling particularly up for it tonight because I've been fighting off whatever this is in my chest all week, so tomorrow and Sunday are going to be a bitch.


    I'm going to ask my boss what he uses for shipping, because he does a lot with his other business.

    When I worked in a factory while I was putting myself through college I bought a JVC Kaboom boom box, which is about 2 1/2 feet long, and a foot tall and deep, weighing 20 pounds. IIRC it is was about $20 to ship. So, it's definitely worth looking into.

    I bought two New Belgium Folly packs, and the Ranger IPA is definitely my least favorite beer. I like IPAs in general (especially Dogfish Head), but I'm not a fan of this one is particular. I need to find a neighbor who likes Ranger IPA, and trade him/her for Fat Tire.

    So listen to this. I was at a Christmas party at a friend's house. As I was driving home, I drive through downtown and an obviously drunk dude knocked on my passenger window. I decided to indulge him and he started fiddling around with my radio. He clicked up and and down and then he reached a Pakistani song and he listened to it for a second and called it plane crash music. So the light turned green and I decided I didn't like that and turned around. I parked my car and found him outside of a bar and had a word with him. I told him I wasn't looking for a fight but I wanted him to apologize. He pulled me aside and apologized to me and told me it wasn't a nice thing for him to do and I got him to agree to doing something nice sometime this week to make up for it. I think that's a win.

    Work Christmas party. I just got back now. Went out to the bar with other co-workers in the building who I'd never met before. Turns out the folks in the building are fucking awesome.

    Question: is it so weird if I just don't care about picking up girls from bars? Nothing about it really floats my boat. Some of the coworkers were trying to get me to go hit on girls. I just... don't care. I'd much rather try to find a connection with someone I meet at a more social event where people actually talk, rather than dance or spout pre-packaged lines with the sole design of getting into someone's pants.

    Also, fact: kilts attract all the wrong kinds of attention from the general public.

    Just got home and about to get ready for the Christmas party. Been throwing my guts up all day due to something I ate this morning, oh happy day.

    Time to drink it into submission.

    I accidentally signed up to help with my workplace's Christmas shindig. Not sure how it is going to go.

    They said there would be games. That's not a good sign. Especially when I'm not sure if there will be booze there or not.

    My boss is turning 40 next year. He's a good friend, so we're all going to Vegas to celebrate.
    This could be very bad, or very good.

    Yeah, I hope you have partied with him before and know what to expect. I would hate for you to be buying shovels and tarps at 3 in the morning so he can bury some hooker. I

    My problem is that everyone hates my boss. And by and large they don't know what to make of me, because 1. I don't interact with them all that much and 2. Single young bachelor doesn't have much in common with middle aged ladies with kids.

    Oh we've definitely partied with the Boss and his lady. I've just never been to Vegas, and I'm afraid The Guy and I will get a bug up our butts and get married. Which isn't totally horrible, despite him being a poopiehead this year, but that's not how I necessarily envision that...moment.

    I must have missed this and I have to ask: why in the fuck were you wearing a kilt?

    Yeah, that's definitely not a decision to make drunk on overpriced jager bombs. And I'm not remembering your situation well enough: do you have The Guy and The New Guy? Or has The New Guy become The Guy?

    That took me back to seventh grade. Does she like me? Or does she like me like me?

    Oh my.
    Ok.
    So...The Guy was being a poopiehead and wishywashy. He "wasn't sure he wanted a relationship" and all that jazz. Not cool, super hurtful to me, especially since I didn't know wtf was going on and he wasn't communicating it.
    Other Guy was definitely a positive presence, but The Guy walked up on me kissing Other Guy.
    The Guy was definitely not thrilled. At all. Cue the next week back and forthing with all sorts of silly drama (somehow the story was that I cheated on him with Other Guy?...Still don't buy that...) and us finally coming to terms that we're doing this US thing.

    Which rocks.

    And is super scary because I mean...he LEFT once before. What's to stop him from doing it again? That's a big leap of faith.

    He's made it a point though, to be more affectionate, open, and communicative though. SO...that helps.


    Other Guy has been fantastic...but he's pissed that I didn't choose him...which I guess I understand, and to be honest, on paper, I suppose I SHOULD have chosen him..but...*shrug* I've loved The Guy since I met him.

    Spoilered for gooey girl talk.
