For those of you that missed it, Jimmy Kimmel had a long time running joke with Sarah Silverman in which they claimed they were dating. It all came to an end, though, with the below video.

When the video went viral, I’m sure Jimmy must have wanted to get revenge. His response came last night.

Our social committee at work was quick this morning to demonstrate that yesterday’s seemingly poor choice at work in fund raising ideas was actually the norm. We all received an email this morning congratulating us on the amount of money we had raised for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through yesterday’s bake sale, reminding us that it was just the beginning. The fund raising continues today with sales of Candy Grams for Valentine’s.

I’m saving my pennies, I know that there must be a poutine sale coming soon!

I know they mean well, but….

As February is Heart Month, various fund raisers for the Heart and Stroke Association of BC are planned at work. One of them takes place today in the form of a bake sale today in the cafeteria.

In a building full of geeks that sit on their ass talking on the phone all day, located in a town where no one has ever turned down seconds and my fat ass doesn’t stand out as much as when I’m home in Abbotsford or in Vancouver, you are promoting Heart Month with the sale of sugar and carbohydrate laden goodies?

If I wasn’t sick, I’d be down there being a trouble maker.

“Can you point me to the Heart Healthy cookies?”

As you can all tell by the amount I’ve spewed forth lately, I must have too much time on my hands in the evenings and weekends. <insert sarcasm>

So what does someone with so much time on their hands do? Take on a new project, of course!

Karin and I will be attempting to help out some friends in Mexico who have devoted themselves to running a no kill shelter in Playa del Carmen, the Peanut Pet Shelter. We are not in a position to help a financially, but we’re going to try and assist by revamping their website and helping to promote them. We do so as we are technically adept, but this will still be quite the challenge as neither of us are design experts and I will be learning something completely new as I’ve decided Drupal is the best choice to create the type of site we all envision. So if anyone with design skills or web/CMS knowledge would like to assist, feel free to contact me.

This doesn’t mean the other projects will be put on hold. I have the first few days of pictures from our latest trip to Playa almost ready to post; expect to begin seeing them in the next day or two. However, a detailed trip report might not start for a week or two.

I also have about 6 half written post that I hope to get up soon. Two posts finally continue my “Rebuilding My Blogroll” series, focusing on several local bloggers, but I thought I’d give one of them a quick plug right now as Duane Storey is a Vancouver blogger involved in competition to see who can rank the higher for that term in Google. He deserves to win as not only does he produce one of my favourite reads in the blogosphere, but he also held top spot before others decided they were going to try and oust him.
