Took everything in my power not to write a comment...

Squiggles said...

Huh. They actually did a blog. Interesting. Of course, all of their information is wrong. Or maybe there is a different part of this site where you say you are a lobbyist?

Did I not send it to you, Squiggles?!
My bad. I will send you a PDF by email of it.

What's that quote..."You know you're doing something right when the bad guys start shooting at you"

Keep up the good work CJ!

Did Karen and Nancy have an epiphany?

C.J. Smith said...

No. Karen, Nancy and Mary made the mistake of using office emails, office equipment and office hours and got caught.

I belive you have said in the past, that people consider you a transit lobbyist and you love the idea that you would be considered a go transit lobbyist "A person for the people" but have repeatedly denied such accolades. Also more on this abuse of work computers. have karen et al reached out to you snce the tragedy last week?

Squiggles said...

Thanks!

Was in a meeting and I just got it. Will definitely spend some time going through it.

Where did I write I am a person of the people?

I would love to be a GO transit passenger lobbyist and I am flattered that people consider me to be one. What doesn't make sense here??? I have not claimed any where on this site to be something I am not.

I do not get paid to lobby so I do not lobby. Do I help passengers when I am able - yes. Can I help everyone? No.

I am not obligated to do anything for anyone, actually, but I will try if I feel someone needs help and isn't getting anywhere despite trying, but I'll be damned if I will step in and do something because people are too lazy to contact Metrolinx or GO Transit on their own. I'm not an ELECTED person or a salaried employee.

If I were paid, then well, we have a real problem, don't we?

AHA! You claim to go by CJ but your real name is Cindy! Busssssted! ;)

Al said...

^
thats what I said..... :)


"They consider you"
"you love the idea of being a person for the people"

but you have never flat out said that your are or really want to be.. and I certainly did not mean to imply that you ever had..

Al said...

BTW, the weatherman doesnt seem to have a problem, hes always wrong.

C.J. Smith said...

Sorry Al, just a lot of frustration bubbling to the service.

Bicky said...

It took a lot of self-control not to comment there. Happy Rhonda had your back as did a good many of us. :)

Al said...

ha ha service,

I see what you did there, and if you didnt mean the pun, it still works.

Al said...

And they get half points for indicating a concerns that were brought to her attention by a small group. They neglected to mention small insignifigant obnoxiously annoying group. But I digress..

Man, the things you miss when you don't read here every day.

outburst said...

I didn't realize they were that cuckoo bananas.
You really are a crazy magnet.

C.J. Smith said...

There are three of them. I am watching them as closely as they are watching me.
This is ridiculous and all because I wouldn't take up their stupid cause.

By the way everyone, all 847-942 of you who read every. single. day. You all know I open this site to anyone. I allow for guest bloggers.

I asked Mary, Nancy and Karen to submit articles to me since this was THEIR FIGHT and all 3 refused so they can piss off.

So tired off this crap. SO TIRED. I didn't sign up for this.

outburst said...

Maybe your disclaimer at the bottom of the page needs to be higher up (in neon pink with blinking lights). I'm sure most people don't get that far down a website, or give it much thought.
You're pretty clear there that this is entertainment, and clearly a means for you to let off some steam about irritating transit experiences.
You shouldn't have to worry about people trying to figure out where you work or live, which sounds way too devious for my liking.
Just a suggestion.

C.J. Smith said...

I definitely have to make some changes. I've been in denial for a long time about a few things because this is exactly what you described, a place for me and anyone else who wants to, to vent. BUT I WILL NOT VENT FOR YOU if I do not share your view or can't be convinced there's an issue, so that's when you send me the beef.

This isn't rocket science. Some people are just lazy.
