I swear to God they just want people to have a worse Monday than they'll have.

So when you live in a condo, you pay condo-fees. These fees go towards paying for things like heat, water, maintenance (i.e. carpet cleaning, elevator maintenance and snow removal) and amongst other things. When you pay ridiculous amounts of money for these services every month, you expect things to get done when they should get done. Not 90 days past due, not a year later - but in a reasonable amount of time.

Then comes the snow. The snow has not been shovelled in a couple weeks. There is now a couple inches of snow on the sidewalk in front of the building and in the courtyard which is covering the layer of ice that has made home on the cement. Ahhhh sweet lawsuits, can you smell them? Cuz I certainly can.
I said to my wonderful condo management company that if they can't get someone to shovel the walks within a reasonable amount of time, then they can buy a snowblower and either do it themselves or pay one of the residents the stupid amount of money they pay the landscapers to do it.

While driving to my parents last night for our weekly dinner, I noticed the roads which looked shiny and polished. They were a virtual skating rink that gravel / sand / salt hasn't even touched. What do we pay taxes for if they can't even maintain the streets?

The news said this morning that it was -41 with the windchill today. What the fuck.

Calgary and I are not on speaking terms right now. And I'm sad that you have Snow Patrol tickets. They were sold out by your pre-sellers before the rest of us could get our fridgid little hands on them!

See... that is the reason you must be on every great band email list. Sure, you'll find out about ALL concerts by them no matter where they're performing (which can be sad at times when you don't see your own city) but when they come to your town - HOT DOG you're in luck. Seriously man... it's worth it. And sorry about your luck.

And as for Calgary... what the crap!? Where are the road crews? I betcha the mayor's street is plowed, sanded and salted to perfection.
