Well, Canada (one part of it, actually) is preemptively offering a refuge.
That is so thoughtful!
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

How I know I'm overtired and should stop working: I looked at the candle and thought "Hey, I should blow that out now," and reached for the TV remote.
SPOILER: the remote did not make the candle go out.

Not universal enough, eh?

On the lighter side, you know how people threaten to move to Canada if they don't like the results of an election? Well, Canada (one part of it, actually) is preemptively offering a refuge.
It's always been an option for those of us that lean Left, but I really have to raise an eyebrow at conservatives who moan about leaving the country if the opposition gets elected. Exactly what country do they intend to move to that's less inclined to Socialism, gun ownership restrictions, and keeping religion out of government? I hardly think people raving about imaginary Kenyans are going to be happy moving to Uganda.

One evening I was in the drugstore and the cashier had obviously been working a little too long - she scanned my discount card, the items and, when I handed her a $20 bill, tried to scan that.

You really don't. As the chief mourners, other people gotta take care of you. That's how it is supposed to work.
This needed repeating.

There is a bit of a stink here because apparently the website is owned by a federally funded economic development agency. And.Cape Breton, while lovely in many ways (except for the hellhole armpit I grew up in), has chronic unemployment in the double digits. Half the population has moved to Alberta for work.

Well, it was a nice idea. And since I don't think anyone's ever actually moved to Canada (or anywhere else, most likely) because of an election, I doubt many people would seriously consider it.
And I still like to remember the guy who, after Obama's first election, said he'd be moving to Australia because their president was a righteous Christian man ... overlooking the fact that (1) they had a prime minister who (2) was a woman who was (3) an atheist and a lesbian. (I think ... I may well be wrong)

The paradise of Somalia, according to Community.
I noticed they were not advertising "move here we have so many jobs". Sue. Which I would certainly need.
Note to self: it is easier and more satisfying to heat up soup at home and bring it in a thermos than to try to heat it up in a microwave in the office. If you aren't going to wash the desktop crockpot in time to use it.
