I'm back at home in Toronto now. Working, sleeping, and enjoying being back in town. Two days after getting arriving home, I started work at an Italian deli/grocery. My first day there I worked for eleven hours without knowing what I was making per hour. It turns out that my wage is $8/hour. 'Tis a wonderful thing, being unskilled. But I will certainly be getting enough hours...six days a week my boss wants me there! Ridiculous. I'm definately going to try to whittle that number down considerably.
On to more important things...
The demons of Starbucks are threatening legal action against the small HaidaBucks café in Masset, B.C. Starbucks claims that the name violates tradmark law, and wants the word 'buck' removed from the name of the café. The conflict is attracting national attention and has support coming from across the globe. Starbucks is just fueling the anti-American-style-capitalism fire. It makes me think about all the nice tea places I can choose to sit in. Or not sit in, like the ___ in Victoria.
Does anyone remember the time when Microsoft wanted to own the word 'window'?
