Entering The Armpit Of The Year

So we've just come off the Holiday Season where we are forced to spend consecutive hours with people we normally never would (family), TransLink raised transit rates again, our bank accounts are down, our credit card accounts are up, the rain has settled in for the long haul, the avian flu has been transmitted human-to-human, we don't have any statutory holidays until the end of March, and this morning the CanWest News Service tells me that "by 10:33 a.m. today, Canada's top 100 CEOs had already earned the same amount of money that will take the average full-time worker all year to make."

That's just great.
