  • A major part of being an MBA is coming up with words for stuff everyone already knows.

    My work has "gemba walks" which is where managers leave their office and ask employees if there are any issues that need to be addressed. They also practice "5S" which is where they make sure the tools workers need to do their job are located near where the job is done. Might as well practice "kawaya" or the idea that employees are provided areas to relieve themselves instead of pissing in bottles.

  • I'm a former mortician. The pope's body will be displayed in an open casket for a very long time so it practically needs to be pickled. That level of preservation comes at the cost of the body becoming as stiff as a peice of furniture and the skin having a greyish tone.

  • There's a lot of Conservative infighting right now. It's a big tent party and not everyone in it cares about fighting "radical woke liberals". It'll be at least a month, if not longer, before an open seat gets a by-election and there's always the chance people in that riding will have have lost confidence in Poilievre. At the same time, while Poilievre waits for another chance at a seat, the Conservatives will need to name a current MP the leader of the official opposition. Why not just have that person be the new party leader?

    The past two Conservative leaders, Scheer and O'Toole, were forcibly ejected from the leadership spot by the party after their loss. The party will be kicking someone out for sure, but it seems like a toss up between a loser (Poilievre) and a winner (MP who won a landslide victory). It'll be interesting to see who gets the proverbial "axe".

  • I wish the turnout was higher, but I get it. Before voting I checked on how close the race in my riding was. It wasn't. The Conservative candidate was projected to win a landslide victory with 99% confidence. I regret looking because it made me not even want to go out and vote. I did anyways thinking maybe there'll be way more voters than normal this year. There wasn't. The Conservative candidate won a landslide victory. Just like last election, and the one before that, and the one before that. I wasn't even born yet the last time this riding wasn't held by a Conservative. FPTP voting sucks.
