Dammit

So I just found out that my company has lost a big client. Not the biggest, but definitely up there. Either way it's not pleasant.
The shock of it hasn't set in yet I don't think. It will, which will undoubtedly be unpleasant for those closest to me. Let me take this opportunity to apologize in advance if you feel the brunt of my wrath. But this too shall pass; that darkest always comes before the dawn.
I guess it's time to switch my brain back into heavy marketing mode, isn't it? If anyone knows of a company looking for some IT help, let me know....
Ever Have...

... one of those days? Me, it's the month.
The latest and greatest installment consists of me going to visit a client, then coming out to hop on my bike for the next stop. Only to find that my back tire is pancake flat. Thanks to the screw sticking out from the tread line.
Best part? it's end of day, so getting a tow via BCAA isn't quick or easy, plus the shop may be closed by the time I get there.
Le sigh.

While I was riding the other day (the same day I had my love-fest with a couple other people on the road), I noticed the Big Google Machine in Richmond, in the form of their street view image capture cars.
I'd always thought that those vehicles worked alone, and so was a tad surprised to see a pair of them. Then again, it could be just that they were both on their way to a neighbourhood they were planning to stakeout take pictures of. Also? Surprised how high up the cameras sit. Those post they use are pretty tall.
Once streetview of Richmond comes out, it'll be interesting to see if there are any motorcycles on 99 north near Westminster highway.

Dear Drivers
Fuck you. You suck.
- To the lady driving the silver Honda Odyssey on Hwy 17, northbound, around 9:45 this morning. You tried to change lanes into the same spot I was occupying on my motorbike. When I honked at you, you looked me in the eye, then kept changing lanes anyways. People like you are the reason people like me get to be dead. Fuck you.
- To the guy driving the red Ducati on Hwy 99 northbound around 9:55 this morning... you're on a pure sport bike wearing shorts and a tank top, with a beanie and sunglasses. I understand having fun on a bike but that's just a tragedy waiting to happen. People like you make people like me look bad. Fuck you too.
