Peter Gibbons: I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.
Joanna: You're just not gonna go?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Joanna: Won't you get fired?
Peter Gibbons: I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go.

So we had a little survey at work today... on paper. They've actually got someone flying around to all the locations and getting people to fill out survey forms. I won't bother going into how expensive and backwards that is, let me just sum it all up with a couple of excepts from my answers:
Are you statisfied with your job? |

At the moment I am sitting in the terminal at the Kelowna airport and I am bored out of my mind. There is only so much surfing I can do on my Blackberry. I've read my friends list repeatedly. The only television is in the bar area but the barmaid is unbelievably shrill and won't shut up.
I seem to be the only male here under 60 not wearing a baseball cap or a hoodie. And that's not to say there aren't men over 60 wearing baseball caps, just that there happens to be two that aren't.

So I'm sitting in a cubicle in the basement of the “head office” that is the I.T. ghetto. In front of me is a “Teamwork” poster featuring a picture of a racing sail-boat and the caption, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” *vomit*
Behind me are 437 printed out pictures of the usual owner's rugrats in assorted “cute” poses that mostly look psychotic. *puke*
To the side are picture of “hot cars” that the guy can't afford and 14th generation degraded fax jokes. *wretch*
The cubicle is grey-blue and the desk is brown. *hurl*

Well, here I am, on my way to fabulous downtown Vernon - hub of culture, commerce, and industry that it is.
If you are waiting for the pictures from Sanctuary last night, I probably won't have a chance to post them until tomorrow evening. My return flight won't get me home until late this evening.

I'm sitting here at the terminal, rather bored, sipping on the bucket of coffee that came with the grease-on-a-bun breakfast I got from A&W. I'm watching people line up at the Starbucks in the terminal here and while I like Starbucks, my entire breakfast, including this bucket of coffee, cost less than a tall latté.
