Neon Clipboard

Neon Clipboard

Type A personality: gets off on overreacting in inappropriate ways to minor crises (ie. snow in Canada.) Back in the 90s in Toronto, we had this histrionic mayor who responded to a heavy snowfall by calling in the army to wield shovels. Made us all total laughingstocks to the rest of the country. Not that this photo refers directly to that incident ... it just made me think a bit. This guy, of course, is just trying to stay warm and safe ... but his body language sort of said, "I sure love wearing this uniform and carrying this clipboard! I am helping to hold back the forces of chaos! and I look hott!"

Me, I am a Type B personality. When Vancouver went crazy these past two weeks due to unusual amounts of snow, I stayed home dressed in sweats, drank hot chocolate with whiskey, ate heartily and played games. Didn't start no wars, didn't bother nobody.

he's reflective.

I guess that's not a cliupboard in his hand after all ... it's a traffic sign.

I love the snow, I do. But I hate driving in it and parking on the side roads now because no one in burnaby will clear their sidewalks adequately. I wish to slap them all with a giant smelly fish.

You did the sensible thing - staying in with hot chocolate!

I love the cold weather right now, even for running. I think I tend to be a type A, but luckily I don't have any power so it's no real problem for the world. ;)
