Piggy's specs were nicked at: 11:32 p.m.

Swiss Chalet needs to keep up that kickass chicken and shrimp combo.

I had this best friend, see, and we worked together as cashiers at a Canadian Tire until it all went horribly horribly wrong. We're looking to make amends, but I'm going to swerve this entry offroad right now. The meat of the matter is, I haven't talked to her in several months and I found out that one of the guys who worked in the company with us got shot. Like, dead shot. About two months ago.

Toronto is a big city, yes, but murders really don't happen very often. Especially not shooting murders. And when they do, it's usually some psycho ex killing their estranged other. So I'm really shocked over this one. I'm also wondering how this all went over my head, since there's been a grand total of six murders in Toronto since the year began. I said, "drug deal gone bad?"

"Yep."

God forgive me, I wish I could come up with a proper memorial for you, Roy. But all I seem to recall is that gold tooth you frequently and maliciously bared when intimidating me. You always seemed to have something snarky to say to me about me being Jewish, and I never had the guts to report you.

Well.

Good old Canadian Tire! Do I pick the best jobs or what? It wasn't nearly as bad as PJ's Hellhole because the world wasn't against me. But I had my share of learning experiences:

(Well-dressed well-fed man walks through the door and comes to my cash.) "Excuse me Miss, does Roger work here?"

(Innocent bystanding cashier voice) "Oh yes, he's the Autoparts Manager. Let me page him for you."

(I do)

(Roger comes to my cash, sees the man waiting man, and pulls a face like Atlas dropped the world and its woes on his shoulders)

Man: "Roger (Last name eludes me), you're under arrest for--" (Roger is escorted out of the store with his hands cuffed behind his back)

(Me, serving a customer who witnessed everything) "Jesus Christ in a chariot driven sidecar."

Hey, I finished chapter 2 of Widerstand for Lex! I think everyone should read it. Surreal fiction makes you good with the ladies. Or gents. Or fictional bishounen characters! Here's chapter 1 to get you in the mood. Huh huh huh.

Uuhhh, I miss beer. Bah, Canada should just legalize marijuana already and get it over with. We want to, but the USA has threatened to make it a sorry day in our mothers' houses if we do so. And given circumstances, when the USA tells Canada "shit," we have to say "what shape." Then again, what do I care? I don't smoke tabaccky or otherwise.
