@AlleyDalley CKUA is by far the best work family I have ever had, and I have had some pretty cool jobs. Taste of Edmonton is awesome also, but that's a contract gig. I can totally relate to how your work makes you feel, Allison. Work/life balance doesn't work if the work part stresses you.

This is hard! (That's what she said, guffaw, guffaw) I've seen so many great artists live!
@MissScarFever My Google Home Mini says "I'm honoured to serve", "Wow, it's not for nothing that they say Canadians are polite", and "You're very welcome, James" in random rotation after I say "Thank you"
I find it curious that a show as progressive as @nbcsnl lets its hosts address the audience as "ladies and gentlemen" instead of "folks" or "everyone" when introducing bands and stuff.
@AlleyDalley If my Uber driver can wait unasked until I get my 6'7" me into my high-rise, why would a date do that for you? Because he didn't get asked in? So many guys are so transparent. "But I bought her drinks and stuff". Fuck those guys. Well, don't fuck them, but you get my drift.
@AlleyDalley Really close (platonically) to my favourite ex (we broke up almost ten years ago), on great terms with my ex-wife/mother of our three sons (divorced just over twenty years ago).
Many of us fully-vaxxed may start to stop going to these venues, out of safety, not protest. I have to say, the optics of the timing feel like rewarding bad behaviour. I believe that REP can be fully removed, just not yet. Thanks for listening.
@jkenney@DShepYEG Mr. Premier, what I am hearing from my friends in the hospitality industry is that they would like to see REP modified, not removed. Let licensed premises stay open until their "before times" hours, but still require proof of vaccination to enter.
