The customer is always right?

We all know the saying "The customer is always right"  It should be revised.........the customer is always right, unless they have no idea what they are talking about due to a lack of information, then the customer is simply wrong.........and  supplied with the correct information so that in the future they can be right.......but until that happens.......consider them wrong.

If they argue the point that they are indeed right.....when clearly wrong.....consider them a hostile customer and more than that.....an uninformed asshole.......politely supply them with the correct information.......if they still argue the point...........feel free to start the next sentence with....."listen up"

People are idiots

If you haven't run across anyone that is an idiot..........you are one. Wake up idiot.

Canadians working and living in unstable areas

Every few months we hear about all the Canadians, many with dual citizenships, being trapped in unstable parts of the world as civil unrest raises up.  What obligation does Canada have to these Canadians that have chosen to live in these parts of the world, I understand that in many cases there are part time workers and tourists trapped, these  people should definately be rescued, but those that have left Canada to live in these countries, sorry but you're on your own. If you have been living outside Canada, not paying taxes, not contributing to Canada, you're on your own.  These people have made a choice, but when something happens they are yelling at anyone that will listen about how "we Canadians" need more to be done to rescue us from our new home in, Lybia, Iran. Iraq, Egypt, Lebenon, the countries list could go on. But what happens when these people get back to Canada, they hang out for a while and book tickets back as soon as the trouble settles down.  These people should just accept where they have chosen to live, and stop blaming Canada for letting them down, you don't live in Canada anymore.

Banks and Greed

As the average working guy struggles through the pay cheque to pay cheque world, the banks get richer, well the guys at the top get richer, banks constantly up the service charges, they hide some, they only tell you what they want you to hear. They charge loan shark interest rates that are sanctioned by the Bank of Canada and the Federal Government, which take their cut like the pimps that they are.  They pander to the wealthy and make it easier for them to get wealthier, while joe average is paying out the ass for everything.

The government asked the banks to let the money flow a little easier so Joe average could maybe get ahead, and what did the banks do, they tightened the money up, and what did the Feds do, nothing. If anyone honestly believes that the banks would risk not being able to pay the guy at the top his multi-million dollar salary, and bonus for driving a rolls of quarters up your ass, well, I'd like to meet that guy.

Nikons new high end snow shovel

This is what happens when a camera company loans gear to amateurs who think they are rock stars of the photo world.  

Womens hockey

Shooting the opening game of the women's hockey to a near capacity crowd of 128 in the 10,400 seat arena, sitting room only in any section. Fans were on their feet as the tape to near stick passes created icing calls on near every play.........booming slapshots to the hogline, and that "you can't touch me" no contact style of we want to be equal to the boys game.

The Ottawa Senators update

As predicted on this blog in 2009 the Senators would have another losing season in the 2010-11 season and here they are at the bottom of the division, and only 2 points out of the NHL basement. Edmonton's young guns are a single point behind the Sens, the difference is that Edmonton is in a re-build, Ottawa is like lego blocks, they have a bunch of "L" shaped blocks that don't fit together and are wearing out. They are trading away what's left, have no one in the farm and some draft picks in a lean year. So who gets the boot at the end of the season, GM Brian Murray, Alex Kovalev, Milan Michalek, Pascal LeClaire and perhaps Chris Phillips by trade deadline. Rumour has it Brian Murray is trying to get some new sticks to go along with the bag of pucks he got for Mike Fisher.

Three more losing seasons, and a team for sale in two.
