CanuckBots!

I'm an engineer.

Yes, I know its obvious, given the title of this blog... but its still worth mentioning.

I'm an engineer.

I went to school to become an engineer.

I work as an engineer.

Ergo, I am technically apt.

or so you'd think!

Over the past few weeks, machines have decided to band together and mess with me!

In december, i turned on my heat, cuz i was freezing.. yeah, i know I'm canadian, and I know I live in So Cal.. but i was still cold!.. nay, freezing. Actually, I went to bed really cold ... so I decided to turn on the heat.. and then woke up freezing!

I looked at my thermostat, and realized, I had turned on my airconditioning..and the apartment was a balmy 61 degrees!!

Last month, I started seeing the world half clear and half blurry... For a few minutes, I was a philosopher... Then I realized I had worn both my contact lenses in my same eye!

Congratulations Canuck, you're well on your way to qualifying for a Darwin award!

Then the following week, I decided to move some money into my checking account to allow for vegas.. uhmm.. expenses. The next day, I get an overdraft notice. yep, I had somehow moved money OUT of my account!

Finally, last week, I actually did turn on my heater, and my smoke detector went nuts as my living room resembled a cigar lounge..

Whats going on here? when did the machines and I stop getting along together? I remember me and my first car, the trusty Oldsmobile, spending many years in perfect harmony? Why then, am I being victimized here?

And then I figured it out. All these are clearly attempts by Optimus Prime and his troupe to try and get my attention. I might just be the Canuck Witwicky.. and yeah, somewhere here, I hold the All Spark.. yep, the key to Earth's survival!

As I go on a spree to collect all the eyeglasses in my apartment, belonging to me, my friends or some ebay guy... I'd like to remind you ladies that when you look at the CanuckEngineer.

.... There's more than meets the eye!
