Well, for some of us anyway.
It’s remarkable what you can get accomplished when:
- you wake up at 8am
- WordPress won’t let you post because of server issues
I found the paperwork the government required of me, straightened my living room (somewhat), recycled several large sacks of old newspapers and flyers, stopped by the Downtown EastSide Women’s Centre, read the Bad Date Sheet (I meant to swipe one to post on the blog; apparently some fat white 30-something is kidnapping and robbing hookers and dumping them in godforsaken Cloverdale several times a week; now that the news is out, all 300-pounder suburbanites can kiss their chances of a cheap BJ goodbye), swung by the Salty Tongue for a yummy sammich and my free (loyalty programs rule!) mocha, full-fat, damn the torpedos, filed my taxes, made it to the government office on time and got that out of the way smoothly, thanks to finally having found said paperwork, dropped the taxes off at the tax office, picked up my free facial mask at Lush (thanks to the goody bag at the Rare dinner), snagged a free kolachy from the Kolachy Shop, also due to goody bag at said Rare dinner, grabbed some veggies for dinner from Sunrise Market, and attempted to take a look at the new Costco in the hood, although I was turned back at the door, as apparently you cannot browse in Costco unless you’re a member. I tell you, I have no problem getting into the Vancouver Club or Shine, but ain’t nobody getting past the door bitch at Costco without their little token of membership.
Yep, without question this was the most productive day I’ve had in a very long time.
Hella boring for the blog, though.

I think the bad date sheet should be posted ALWAYS. Why not here? With links to the DEWC etc. Friends, family and wifies would recognize them faster than the cops. Costco SUCKS!
Costco does indeed suck. They have no idea how often I’d be spending money in there if they’d simply let me take a gander first. I do NOT shop without browsing first. I have consumerist committment phobia.
I’ll see if I can’t grab another copy of the Bad Date Sheet. Now that the girls have cellphones, it’s only a matter of time before they can snap pix as well and post those. Pivot gave me a couple of reports that I’m going through and will post about soon as well.
I somehow feel an inappropriate need to apologize for Costco invading your beautiful country. It’s much better than Sam’s Club, to be sure, but I actually went to one for the first time recently with my sister, who is a member. I was just like, “Sis, we’re not gonna eat that much soup,” and “Sis, Pebbles will get tired of that flavor of dog food after two months,” and so on. And she was all like, “But . . . the savings!!!!.”
Mmm-hmm.
I hadn’t thought about photo ability! Unless they are the one being robbed. Unfortunately, impaired judgement will prevail. (I’ve been told that fat men get off faster once they get ahold of IT) You’re not missing anything at Costco. It’s like watching people who went through the depression.
