>I just did my taxes online… or attempted to. I swore I’d never go back to H&R Block online, and then they sent me an email… I gave it a shot, but with more then $3500 taken out for federal — H&R says I get $693 back. Bull-shizat! I’m going to a human who can play with my figures until I get some real money. =]~ I got to see my new car, it came in the other day – Black Mazdaspeed Protoge, all tricked out right from the factory. “Oh yeaaaaah, baby.” I faxed all my info to the…
>Professionalism:: accepting that some people are going to be dicks, no matter what… and they may have a leg up because of their position in the office, but that’s no indication on life. Everyone looks forward to that defining moment of “telling someone off”. Albeit satisfying, it wouldn’t solve any real issue. Nothing good can come of the situation. Unless they’re really asking for it… then there’s a time and a place for everything, I suppose.
>Mmmm, Sim City 4. “Wooooooah… tainted blood, ooooh” Time’s best up-and-coming gadgets for the new year. Why just talk about war… when you can play it on your PDA. Speaking of war: let’s start carpet e-mail bombing Iraq… Microsoft might have gotten a good whooping for not installing their own security fixes… but it could have been worse. Catholic church attempts to battle technology with search for patron saint of the internet, what does that even mean – exactly? Is it along the lines of a holy sys-admin? Fun… fun… fun!
>Everyone is about goals today. I suppose it’s not particular to today but today’s just got a lot of “goal orientation” going for it. Wouldn’t you know it — I ignored my alarm clock today. I heard the radio… then a short while later, the blaring alarm. I leaned into it and turned it off (I purposely have the alarm clock uncomfortably far from my bed). I “rested” for another 10 minutes… which by the time I decided to get up was 9:45 with class @ 10:10. I made it, I’m here now… but on the way I heard a…
>Everyone knows about GATOR, dreads it — well, CNN’s finally on to them! Now this is some funny shizums! I personally won’t use this, but know of people who would appreciate being able to watch movies they otherwise wouldn’t be able to for fear of seeing something, or hearing something they don’t want to… *CmOoUrGH*CmOoUnGsH* “Hahaha! What a small peepee! Hahahaha!” “Oh yeah… show yours then!” “No! Hahahahaha!” *BANG*! Naked people are everywhere! Girl high on crank goes for topless joyride in cop car… Teleportation is cool.
>eBay find: less than a day left! Apparently the UK agrees with our evidence against Iraq. Hehe, donkey porn… that’s cool, hehehe. A little hokey… but cute. Ooooh, super sexy sweater sweethearts. ** Follow-Up ** Some of you may remember the R.A.V.E. Act? It was defeated due to overwealming response from people in all walks of life… and now they’re attempting to piggy-back it on a terrorism bill.
>Some really good wallpaper some of which isn’t available on the author’s web sites. Horrible pop-ups, however. Here’s one of the author’s pages… techno-goth-type stuff. Scientists discover how color is perceived by the brain. This link was misleading: I was expecting a caveman star chart — instead they found a thingy that looks like Orion cause it’s shaped funny. Everything you ever wanted to know about cartoons*…
>Ok… so I’m really tired. I kept having crazy nightmares last night. I’m not normally the type so it’s kind of strange. I was in a hot tub… inside a dimly lit glass enclosure. It was like being in an aquarium now that I think of it… it was really cold outside and the hot tub was really cooking, so there was fog everywhere. I kept feeling some really cold hands on me… pushing me down under the water. I kept trying to wake up, I’d be in my bed, try to sit up… but the hands/thing kept pushing me…
>What’s a Neutrino telescope? This must be the 10th story I’ve heard in the last year about someone’s kids bringing something not-so-legal in for show and tell. The definition of luck. It’s official: communism’s dead. A free popup blocker? Nike’s new ingenious concept. Why are we using Norweigian ammo? It’s the original robot dog! Consult the Starbucks Oracle and be amazed…
>Is it your CONFIG.SYS? I might be in the wrong listing it here… but I don’t have enough capital to start this out myself, so I’m possibly looking for partners for this venture: www.fullofyourself.com www.schmuck.com You know the saying “your picture’s in the dictionary next to ‘dumb’ “? How about your picture’s on the web under www.totalloser.com. Someone’s friend would sponsor the site as a joke/prank per the week, or month… and depending on the popularity, you could have secondary subscriptions for smaller listings, etc. There would be the standard disclaimer so people couldn’t claim “slander” and it would all…
>.: P r o d u c t -|- E v a l u a t i o n :. Probably a month before Xmas, I had ordered an “Inbetween Clean Machine” after seeing the commercial on TV. It professed to be an automatic flosser. I hate to floss, so I figured it would be a lot easier. It’s kinda cool, doesn’t actually fit between most of my teeth, I have to be very careful or else risk getting a mini-pipecleaner-type thing in my gums. It fit between 5-10 pairs of teeth, professes to improve with use… as flossing does,…
>I was watching Insomniac with Dave Attel on Comedy Central last night @ midnight, it was a special show… they rode along with “Crime Scene Cleaners, INC” in a pimped out F150. They clean up suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths all around CA during the night. It was a great show, they couldn’t show a lot of the scenes… and the few things they did show were rather tame but the best part was this story: “I was at the coroners office, they had just brought a guy in and everyone was giggling. I wanted to know what they were…
>We have an extra “privacy screen” tucked in one of the corners here at work… I decided I’d have a little fun with one of my co-workers and while she was intent on working, listening to her music… I set up the screen really quietly behind her. She didn’t notice, so I crept away (one of the advantages to slippers @ work). A minute or two goes by when she looks behind her, feeling a shadow of some sort behind her… and there’s this wall cutting her off from everyone else! HAHAHA! (well, everyone else thought it was funny) I…
>About a year and a half ago I had taken “Database Management Systems” with the same professor I have this time. I had to leave halfway through because: A) I had no money B) I had previously been out of work but was starting my new job here and hours conflicted C) I was so far behind in most of my classes I didn’t have much hope, I finished one class that semester – VisualBASIC He was so adamant about me not going to “the company across the street” he actually yelled to me as I was leaving, after angrily…
>”WRONG!” – Saturday Night Live, best of Dana Carvey – McLaughlin Group sketch. .:sigh:. …if I could only thwack someone with a large trout, let them know how much of an ass they are. .:TWACK:. I feel better… kinda. What does your name mean? Finally, an honest journalist. Psssst… want to book a trip to middle earth? Down & Out In the Magic Kingdom, maybe you’ve heard of it?
>I had my first classes today, even got up early to go to the bank. COBOL 1 – Not even used anymore, but just incase there’s a nuclear fallout and we’re forced to use computers remaining from the 1960s, I’ll be employed re-routing the nations power grid. Other then that I can’t see much use for it. It’s kind of like learning about the Revolutionary War — it got us where we are today, but it’s not like it’s entirely vital to survival. Accounting was just as I remembered it, last time I made it half-way through it, same professor……
>Dammit R.Kelly! Leave them kids alone! Do a search for “hatfields” to see how the longest known feud (there was even a Loony Toons cartoon) is going… Note to would-be rape-victims: Say you are a Christian, no matter what you may feel. The best thing these Maxim wannabes can come up with. Who didn’t try and do this in highschool art class?
>So I’m a bit better — the desire to be home and relaxing is so strong, but trying to get rid of my cold… drinking *ahem* won’t help that. I figure I’ll just drive the Probe tomorrow, it’s silly not to. No sense in getting pulled over and in deeper shit just because I didn’t want to put another 50 miles on the car. I sent an e-mail to the professors I have tomorrow, that whole “responsible” vibe I want to be dishin out. 😉 It’s not like anything interesting happens on the first day… they hand out the syllabus…
>OK — weird deja vu: My desk at this moment – empty bottle of powerade, half empty bottle of coke — mummy action figure – work sheets on my walls, light shining in over my shoulder, wrapped up food to be heated. Probe user manual, something about my car, and classes bearing down on me — with the same professor. The usual work stuff was on my screen, but the colors and position of windows is also included in this. I remember waking up to a horrid dream of being all stressed out probably about a year and a half…
