As suspected my post did get me into trouble. How funny that I didn’t remove it three days ago as was my intention.
Well. In case anyone is already tossing stories around, allow me to explain…
…some other time.
Too superly tired and burned our on losing my favorite job. :P
Funny thought:
I want to come out of the local game store with a PS3 and hold it up in front of a hundred people who have been camped outside waiting for it for days, and then just yell, “I GOT ONE! I GOT A PS3!”
Then, when everyone turns to look, I’ll hold it in the air, and fucking SMASH it into the ground, Touchdown style!
Please take a moment to allow this image, and the possible look on everyone’s faces, to sink in.
Anyway, because of this thought, I’ve been inspired to add something to the list of things to do before I die.
On my weekend day off it was of course my intention to get all my stuff done.
Naturally, I didn’t. I did get some things done. Just not much. I did figured out exactly my right passenger rotor was grinding so bad. Turns out the caliber was frozen on one side so I’ve only been using one side of the caliper to stop that wheel. Ouch. However I need to track down some rear calipers and rotors before I can fix the problem.
I had one, two, three engagements planned today. Didn’t make any of them for all different reasons.
1) Ian’s Wedding Reception. – Never made it back to my Mom’s to get the invitation so I hadn’t the foggiest where it was at.
2) Chris’s Son’s Xbox Party. – It was my original intention to see Chris today if only to snag some food and catch up. But I accidentally left my phone on silent and never did get the message until….four minutes ago.
3) Drunken Guitar Hero 2 Night at Damon’s. – This was super short notice. But I wanted to go. But the time I actually found out that people would in fact show up to it, I decided I didn’t want to drive 20 miles north to get to his house.
So instead I sat my lazy ass at my computer and played an old NES favorite of mine.
Don’t all you old school gamers agree that Shadow Link is a total pain in the ass to beat?!
You now all have the ability to comment on the “Pages” to the left rather then only on blog posts.
Enjoy.
…I was half thinking about tearing up� the certificate they gave me� and quitting.
Why? Because the only time I ever received recognition, or kudos, or whatever have you, is when I start getting upset about my job. This has happened� three times now.
“Why should I take that call when those two have been sitting on their asses all day?”
- “Hey Jeff,� here’s a you “Got Caught” card. Thanks for� taking that call.� (Clearwire’s sorry idea of a kudos.)
“You know what? I’m not getting paid enough for the extra bullshit I have to deal with on a daily basis.”
- “Employee of the month is: Jeffrey!”
*twitch*
How predictable.� A corporate outsourcer doing the same thing that any other major company does when they encounter employee morale problems. Cheap, thoughtless incentives and appeasement.
Forgive me. But the bureaucracy here is already a joke, some of the employee’s� here were too obviously scraped from the bottom of the barrel of Tech Support, and� to put the icing on the hate� cake, the one’s who complain� and/or kiss the most� ass are the ones� who move up. I’m very aware that this is a sad fact of business, but all the other bullshit� aside, the last thing I want is to feel like I’m being ‘bought’.
Nesting (Newbie Training) is really boring as hell. This has happened every Wednesday for the last three weeks.
*Checks Schedule Roster*
Yep. Every single nesting agent is supposed to be here today. No one on Nesting has the day off… So naturally no one showed up. I am on this row all by myself until 15:00. Lame.
Hey people at work: If you have any videos from work floating around be sure to send them to me so I can add a little more the Clearwire section.
The clearwire section is password protected to keep the videos inside work and to not incriminate or humilate anyone publicly. Those of you familar with Cheetah should know the password.
You know those little tiny bits of information that are accepted as common knowledge by the general population, but for some reason you missed it? These moment’s usually accompany phrases like “I never got that until now.”, “You mean it’s the same person?!” or “So that’s what that means! I get it!”
Just 5 minutes ago, I came to learn that the term “Double Spacing” does not refer to the two spaces you should grammatically put after each period, but rather to the typeset or format where there is a full space between lines.
…
Through Elementary School, Middle School, High School and College, I always wondered why all my teachers were so insistant that everyone had two spaces after each period. I merely thought, “Oh good. If I have two spaces after my periods, in the long run, I won’t have to write as much.”
All those papers, reports, essays, compositions and writings…I’ve done twice the amount of work I’ve needed to for more then a decade.
Likely one of the few shock artists to trump Tom Green in my opinion.Â
Though hilariously shocking and uncomfortable, the movie was pretty good. I was very surprized to find that I was not once offended by Baron Cohen’s character Borat in any significant degree, but more so by the homophobic, anti-Muslim cowboy and the racist, sexist frat boys that I deeply wish I could deny sharing the same country with.
I think more then anything, I left the theater with a new found hatred for the southern masses, and a new found appreciation for the “dramatic demonstration of how racism feeds on dumb conformity, as much as rabid bigotry.”.
Although I did specify that I enjoyed the movie, that’s not stopping me from feeling dirty for laughing and enjoying myself so much.
…Now if you’ll excuse me, I must go shower and attempt to cleanse this unvenial trespass from my being.
So my friend Heather invited me to Iggy’s Sports Bar tonight. Normally that would not be my thing, but I went anyway. And between seeing just how little alcohol it takes Heather to get drunk, and the football game that was mildly entertaining to fight over, I actually quite enjoyed myself. Â
Anyway, they were holding a raffle for a replica Buccaneers helmet. They passed out raffle tickets to the whole place. I promptly started in on telling Heather again and again that there was absolutely no way we would win the raffle considering the number of people in attendance.Â
…So yeah. I won. A guy promptly came up to me and offered me thirty dollars for the Helmet. I gave it to him for the thirty because I kind of felt like a cock by coming into a sports bar where I’m not a regular, where I am not a fan of the team playing, and then winning their helmet that should have gone to a loyal fan.
I came to find out those helmets are worth like $100 a piece. Heh. No matter. Some guy will enjoy it alot more then I would have. Plus I got a quick thirty out of it.
So guess what I saw on my way to work.
A Jeep that was LOWERED! That’s right. A lowered Jeep. The car that is traditionally raised up, was lowered. And that’s not all, it also had the mexi-fabulous spoked rims that petruded 6 inches from the wheel well.
Maybe it’s just a form of culture shock, but Mexican car trends are just the dumbest things in the world to me. I wonder if they think we’re equally stupid with our erector-set, autozone rear spoilers we put on our cars. Oh wait, they took that over too.
Get a clue people. Save up an extra $1,000 and do some real engine work on those damn things.
If I may direct your attention to the left side of the page, you’ll see I’ve added a neat little spot where a random quote will pop up every time you visit the page.
I don’t really care about the quotes so much as I care about you knowing how hard it was for me to make.
That aside, if you want to send me submissions for a quote. I’m happy to add them if they’re decent.
So yeah. Few changes. And by a few, I mean the whole thing. I’ve had this whole update in the works for almost a year. I think it was mostly procrasination. Because it’s actually been 98% done for roughly 6 months…
Anyway. It’s written almost entirely in PHP with a MySQL backbone. 100% Dynamic.
That basically means I don’t have to write 20 lines of redundant code for everytime I want to make a change anymore.
The blogs from 97-06 will probably be omitted unless I find a fast efficient way of transferring the data over. Any suggestions?
Finally this damn thing is running. Been working on it all night. I will go into it later but right now I need to sleep before I keel over dead.
