Jobs

Geoff's jobs in Toronto have included:

  • Working the buffet shift at the Golden Griddle opposite Maple Leaf Gardens. On New Year's Day of 2000, in a twelve-hour shift without a break, he made around 125 omelettes


  • Three months of working the night shift at a press-clippings place, where he learned to hate newspapers


  • Six months combined at Toronto Organics and WOW Foods, an organic food delivery outfit similar to Grocery Gateway. Where he got unceremoniously laid off, via email, on the day before his three-month anniversary. "Wow," indeed

  • Well, you (maybe) know about his ex-present position (programming for a TSE company, Shitvantex Disloyalty Marketing) ... which ended without warning on a Friday the 13th in 2003, when the mis-managers there decided to "hire more senior-level programmers," in the fools' belief that those would be able to "do everything I can do, and more." In reality, they'll need to hire two or three senior-level developers to fill my shoes, i.e., that indefensibly stupid (blonde) presidential decision is going to cost that company well over $50K per year, every year. Serves the dumb fuckers right.

    For good reason do the shareholders in that go-nowhere company refer to her and her CEO husband as "Bungler and the Ho." Current share price is below ten cents. It's still overpriced, relative to the abilities of their upper management, IMHO.
