That Fort McMurray Blog!

Yes, caterpillars are still here... And will probably be staying for at a couple of weeks or so...

As we all know (or most of us), there’s no such thing as “good customer service” here in Fort McMurray.

Or if there is (or are), it’s hard to get it.

We purchased a Fellowes Powershred SB-95C last year, * which is only 37 days till the warranty expiration.

The machine was purchased in Calgary. For almost a year, this baby had been so busy. Eating up all the privacy-sensitive paperworks. Doing it job very very well. But it came to point that it got tired. Burnt-out.

Contacting the CS for any services that is still covered by the warranty*, we got an even better news. Instead of sending someone to look at it, they will be sending a new machine. How cool is that?

Since there’s no local Service Support in our town, the nearest is in Edmonton. These people are so cool, or are they? I don’t really care, but it’s a good thing to get a new machine as a replacement.

September 1st, Fort McMurray will go non-smoking.

What others Say

"I have smoked cigarettes for 30 years of my life. It's worth quitting. As my mother always told me, smoking is bad but get it going with booze and dope then that even worst. So i did. I smoke. I drink beer. But i never tried drugs. Smoking is a hobit, a bad one. It's an addiction. After i quit, it's totally a different light for me. Now i can taste my food better. Memories will always stay. I love my life as a smoker. But i love my life better now, as a non-smoker"

Just today, i search on Google News and see a link to Edmonton Journal.
There's some decent photos here.

Another oil storage tank in Horizon Projects collapsed around 6:30pm, Saturday.
Unlike the first incident, this time, no one was injured.

I saw a couple of guys somewhere near Save on Foods last weekend.
Well, they look healthy. They smoking too!
But they are wearing a really wornout clothes. I even saw one of the guy checking out the garbage can. I was wondering if they have a home. Or if they do have a job.

Is it hard to find job in Fort McMurray? I bet, it's not as hard as finding a home to stay. Isn't it?
