Troll-ism for the day
Posted at 7:36 pm | Filed Under Rants
Overheard: “If I didn’t get in here at 5:30 in the morning, I’d never get all this stuff done!”
Thought by several in response: “If you didn’t leave at 3:00 in the afternoon, you might still have a shot at getting it done.”
Later-exposed truth: the Troll didn’t roll in until after six this morning.
Well-known underlying truth: [...]

Why the heck can’t I import a picture into a post?
There’s something here I’m just not getting right.
Oh, by the way…

“Your bag was among those selected for physical inspection.”
By the way, we bungled up your zipper, fingered your wife’s undies, and just plain didn’t put things back where we found them. Have a nice day!
Grrr….
Say _what?_

Fifth paragraph: “No one on the creative side or the business side wants to make commercials intrusive, but we do need to commercialize efficiently so viewers can afford to get free television.”
Free television? Um, if television is free, then why the hell do so many of us receive cable/satellite bills for [...]
This week’s frustration

Buying Claritin-D.
Thanks to the sorry-ass meth heads, it now takes me (and a pharmacist) ten minutes to buy my allergy meds. I had to pull a ticket from the shelf (like buying a printer from Office Max), take it to the pharmacy desk, hand over my driver’s license, and fill out a form. What info [...]

Vacation: a wonderful thing.
Beach-sitting on Grand Cayman, zip-line fun on Isla Roatan, cave tubing in Belize, and touring the ruins in Costa Maya.
Having time to sit on deck, sip a drink, enjoy the sun, work on my tan, and finish a novel I’d started a while back.
Time with Mrs…. All to [...]
Catching up
Posted at 8:24 pm | Filed Under Uncategorized, Weekly reviews
Whew. A week’s vacation is a wonderful thing, even considering all the work that has to be done before and after. I’ve spent the better part of this week with the catch-up work, and I’m not even close to what I’d call a satisfactory level of being caught up. But there’s work rolling in, and [...]

The recap:
Listening: Digital Underground, Playwhutchalike. Old-school, but kinda fun.
New toy: my pal Mikey’s new Scion tC. Neat stuff!
Still fun: last weekend’s shotgunning. Not sore anymore; still have a gun to clean.
Goofy: new Dodge Avenger commercial — lab rat plays “Smoke on the Water” with transmissions.
A little freaked out: going on a cruise. [...]

… can’t I insert a picture into a posting?
Oh, yeah, I know. It’s because I dont know enough about WordPress yet.

Mandatory password changes
Posted at 8:36 pm | Filed Under Rants
So corporate I.T. (aka: Big Brother) has implemented a policy of mandatory password changes every 45 days. I’ve got no problem with that, really. But I do have an issue with the fact that the system starts to warn users 15 days in advance. Fifteen days!?!? Come on… five days would [...]
