I’ve got so many whelms that I can’t even begin to manage them, so I’m just tucked in bed rewatching Ted Lasso, once again.

The project timelines are already abysmal, may as well make them worse.
I’ve waited almost 12 months now for comments on a pre-application in Coquitlam. A pre-application.
Can you tell I am tired of the red tape of my job on all ends?

Sources at the city tell CTV News that cuts to positions that review development permits, bylaws and rezoning applications could impact project timelines.

Ya no wonder our stock price is plummeting, you fired everyone that allows us to do our jobs locally, moved them to useless overseas labour that doesn’t even work a single overlapping hour with me, and expect me to do 20x the project administration.
Kick rocks.
Kick rocks.

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

The Halloween Evo voice was deeply jarring and unexpected this morning. Fun, but one of those routine things you tune out until it’s suddenly a vampire.

Nothing is more indicative of why I don’t have any faith in society, nor that people are generally in any way aware of the impact of their actions on others, than people listening to things on their phone on public transit WITHOUT HEADPHONES.

The number of empty store fronts and on pause tower developments is sure screaming end of the bubble to me.

The Traders Joe cashier gave me the cute purple Halloween tote for free, best day ever.
Had to promise my boyfriend I would go donate the excessive pile of tote bags we accumulated from all the corners of our homes when we were moving in together. Fair trade.

It’s an exceptionally weird Vancouver thing that when you are on a structured walking tour event, random people walking by will inevitably just join in.
I have never had this happen anywhere else. This almost always happens here. Today two random people have joined our conference (with big badges).
