Mel

About Mel:

Let me start by explaining my given handle, proudly accepted from an original Asshole who no longer chooses to participate with us (Ernie graduated from Assholedness!). Quite simply, Mel is a much simpler abbreviation of my last name (contained on this page in code for privacy you understand). Oh, I have a full head of hair by the way (sorry, no photos), which I should add since many unofficial Assholes seem to associate the name Mel with baldness?? Since Mel was born so to speak (high school and who the hell liked those years?), this is my life...(I hope you have one too)...

Education: 

BSc (HSci, Chem) - University of Waterloo, ON, Canada 

MEd (Learning and Technology) - Acadia University, NS, Canada

Occupation: 

I have been working in training and development for the Government of Canada for the past 16 years.

Likes: 

My Wife, Angela is very good for me (I think) or I would have left her by now (spoken like a real Asshole); Oh yeah, Sense of humour, Shut the F#%* up! As you may have guessed, I have participated on a few debating teams; Music, singing mainly, Billy Joel my hero; Golf, I never broke into the elusive and elitist single digit handicap club, but I friggin' shook Jack Nichlaus' hand! That's got to be good for something?!; Squash, An 'A' player and still playing competitively, when I can get outof bed and bend over to get my pants on. Altho, I've never played with Jonathon Power (Canadian and World rank #1, 2000), I played his father John many times...my record? Shut the F#%* up! (spoken like a true Asshole I might add). Seriously, I've never beat the SOB in a match but I've won several games - John's a great guy. My Friends (see Asshole links below) who I do not get to see nearly enough! I would like to acknowledge some other long time honorary Asshole friends: B-E-N-N-N-E-E-E-T-T, you have to say it like that; Phil who can do just about anything; my Uncle Paul who loves life and his laugh alone can get you going; and Merv buddy, wherever you are...(my apologies for anyone not mentioned. I don't want to bore people to tears)

Dislikes: Who the F#%* really cares right?! OK, alright; Those stupid telemarketers who always phone during supper!? OK, alright, you got me started now; Those idiots who don't merge to the right onto a road or highway when they have their own lane and it's always clear?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!; Boring, stupid, long meetings. Are they ever productive? Why do we, as a supposedly intelligent and logical race, keep having them??? Politics, that's why - they're a spring board for the jerks that want to hear themselves speak or torture those of us who must attend; Never having enough time in the day, especially if you don't function best in the morning?!; Psychos of the world, especially those who harm children - You sick F#%*s!

Now with those pleasant thoughts in mind, get out there and have a large and animated day(whatever the hell that means)................................................
