mmm bubble jets

Written by Katie Kish in S'all bout moi

Tonight went from being a really shitty night to a really fantastic night. Why was it shitty? Well, I am going to Toronto tomorrow (from Guelph, where my parents live) and my step-brother is going to Toronto as well. Logistically, I would just get in his car and go with him because we’re going to the exact same area of town, for the exact same time of day. But he’s a dink and said he wouldn’t drive me. Why? Well, he didn’t say this, but this is why - he is completely resentful of the fact that I am living at home again. He calls me a free loader and makes fun of me for living in our parent’s basement again. (He forgets that all of his money comes from what his grandpa left him when he died.) So that pissed me off.

On top of that my taxes were due tonight and I couldn’t do them because I didn’t have all the information. I figured 1/2 done was better than not done at all, so I went to go log in to the tax site and ended up getting locked out because I didn’t have the right information. I’ve moved approximately 8 times in the past year so I have no freaking idea what postal code the government has for me - and you only get 5 tries. Sure enough, I didn’t pick the right one the first 5 tries, so I was locked out. That also pissed me off.

But then… oh, but then.

I downloaded the cool “snap” program that decreases your carbon on your computer and tracks how much you and all other snap users have saved! It’s neat to watch how much such little things can ad up to…

So far I’ve only saved 0.14 lbs (click it to see full size):

But hey, I’ve had it for 4 hours! So seriously now, that’s not so bad.

After I saved the earth a little bit I decided it was time for a bath. Not just a bath though, a bubble bath. Now, let me tell you something. I love bubbles. So, I put the bubble stuff into the tub, and then I turn on the bubble jets!! Yeah, bubble jets. My parents have this kickin’ new bathroom downstairs… and it is fully equip with a bubble jet spa like bath tub deelio. …So… bubbles + bubble jets = over flowing bath of bubbles. Seriously. I don’t mean it just filled, it was literally over flowing. Best. Bath. Ever.

To top it all off, tomorrow I am going to Toronto (on the bus  :evil: ) to go to the science centre! Yay! I love science centres. Oh, and for those of you who knew I had a job interview today, I definitely got the job - but I don’t want it. I also got an interview for a factory here in Guelph, but I don’t want that either. I applied for a full time program director position at CFUV back in Victoria, I definitely want that, more than anything. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

    The ‘Snap C02 Saver’ is a joke. Stupidest thing ever — in fact it’s a super way to invade privacy and collect data to sell to marketers. Here’s a snippit from the licence agreement you clicked ‘I Agree’ to without reading:

    The Software may be used to access certain third party websites, software, applications, and other materials … Licensor does not provide any representations or warranties regarding the availability, accuracy, quality, fitness for any purpose, or content of any Third Party Materials and/or the handling and use of your submitted information by such Third Party Materials.
    The Software may collect, store, and periodically send information back to Licensor or third party servers. In addition, the Software may automatically collect certain information during the installation process and/or indicate to our servers that you have successfully installed the Software.

    So, not only do you get useless software that simply changes settings easily done by you (found at: Start > Control Panel > Power Options), but you get a fine piece of spyware too! Nice find KT, I can’t wait to install this on all my computers … it’ll work well with my comet cursors and bonzi buddy!

    Keep in mind that your true power saving features are found in the BIOS under acpi settings.
