On Gas (not flatulence)

Today's Headline Reads:
"Gas Breaks Record High (Again)."
This speaks for itself -_-

To Manipulative Employers

You scheduled my ride
to work hours on weekends
and then you asked me

My boss called me early this afternoon and asked me if I was heading into work to make some calls today. Which was my plan anyways. He told me to call Mike, my best friend and co-worker, to see about getting a ride in(my trucks in the shop). When I call Mike, he tells me our boss told him to pick me up on his way in to work.This is for my boss for assuming my mid afternoon wasn't already booked and making my life easier. K Thx!

The Woes of Telemarketing

Waiting for hello
This machine dials for me
Leave a message, BEEP!

Some days it seems that no one is ever home. School must be out today all over the country, because I've talked to more children than answering machines. Do parents not inform their kids to say their parent is in the shower, rather than informing me that they are home alone, anymore? 18 phone calls(on a dialer that only connects me when someone picks up) and I've talked to no one for more than 30 seconds. BAH!

When what you see is not what you get

Dammit all, Blogger!
Your Wysiwyg editor
sucks HUGE donkey balls.

When I highlight all,
saying "this font" and "this size"
please don't randomize!

Blogger has some serious issues with their text editor and copy pasting. I haven't yet managed to make a post on 3 Sweet Ounces that I didn't have to re-publish 4 times because this text field barfed all over copy pasted input. It's a really serious pain in my ass.

On lethargic data operations

Dear Apache Log,

Flowers bloom and die,
Dear server log. Rome could fall
While you try to parse.

... or save.. or open.. or zip.. all of which I need to do to you. I understand you're about 500mb of raw ascii, but it's not like we're mistreating you here. Core2 duo.. gig of ram.. you have all you could ever want. And yet you're slooooooow. It may perhaps be that because of your size, you assume you need to stretch out the time it takes you to do anything to emphasize the mystique contained within your texty depths. I assure you this is not the case. We will be just as interested in your contents whether it takes you five seconds to open, or five hours.

Just... just wake me when you're done.. ok?

Oh what a tangled web we weave....

Phone cords, computer
wires - tangled, convoluted...
a mess on my desk ;_;

Curly Q phone cables are the worst invention ever. Having to plug and un-plug my laptop and its various accoutrements daily is also displeasing. And my coffee's leaking.

On Delusions

Not to be rude, but
Saying this report has changed?
You are a LIAR.

But thanks for wasting hours of JD's and his boss's time with your delusional fantasies. Won't you have egg on your face later this afternoon when you remember the extent to which you slowly. and. condescendingly. babytalked. to. the. product. developer. of. the. company. about the way your report used to work in a dream you had last year.
