Weight, wait, or is it a rate?
What is it with people and weight? I mean fat people get pissy when you make fun of them and skinny people get called anorexic and insensitive to the feelings of others for being skinny. There is nothing wrong with being thin, there is nothing wrong with being pudgy, however being seriously over weight is a problem. Some people are naturally big people. Nothing wrong with that. However when you eat like a Sumo wrestler and have the activity schedule of a dormant germ of wheat, then you have problems. America and Americana's are getting generally lazier. We are always looking for the bigger better faster got to have less clothes more killing can I get a money shot now. We are trying to hide from our neighbors and go on-line to meet the neighbor next door. What ever happened to walking the mile to your neighbors to play cards for an evening? When did we become a society of cynical anti-social lazy asses? I must have missed this revolution when I was under my rock. I saw a kid the other day eating a donut and moving the water as his 330lbs mother sat on the front step and watched. Hmmmm I think I found her problem. She needs to have her son HELP her vs. having him do her work for him. Even myself, being all powerful and knowing, can do a lot better than I am now. I'm starting to put on some weight and my exercise is almost nil. However I am staring my exercise regiment. I know I'll never get into my college shape again. There is something about training for track and baseball that usually gets you in better shape than sitting in front of a monitor or TV for 18 hours. Go figure. Maybe it is the drastic dip in the amount of sex that I am getting. (dam mouse is making my wrist hurt) Video games, computers, computer games, UV rays, Lazy American's, Decreasing amounts of sex, who knows why, but people are getting bigger so why don't we put down the ho ho and walk to the local 7-11 and buy a dog and a big gulp for $1.99

Career Decisions
Do you ever wonder if you have chosen wisely in the quest of career paths? Think about the millions of people that go to work everyday, not because they want to, but simply because they have conformed to the American norm. Just like all those suckers who pay taxes every year. Screw the damn republicans, I refuse to spend my whole life in debt just because you can use fuzzy math a make a few numbers look good. Them baby boomers are soon to hit Social Security and thus driving it into the ground. Who ever runs against Bush on the Democratic side in 2004, I want to give them a little hint on how to win. Comparisons are the name of the game. What happens when your Bush gets out of control? You trim it. The bush was so big that he nearly choked to death on a hair while eating pie (or pretzels but that doesn't fit as well). Time to trim the Bush out of the office. Where was I? Oh yes career plans.
I happen to be a fortunate one and love going to work everyday. It's not necessarily that I love the job in and of itself, but rather I love the people I work with. Lately I have been pondering a change of position. I mean in my field you must continuously get new certifications and prove that you are more worth than the next guy. Personally I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. I want to live the life of luxury and enjoy every minute of it. People maybe wondering how I plan on making 6 figures a year and be able to enjoy it to. The answer is soooooo eassssy. All I have to do is get paid for playing AC. I''ll be one of the QC guys that test all the new stuff and have like three level 126 guys that'll just rule everyone's world and like everyone would want to be me and be in my guild and then I'd have like 7 bazillion followers and we could sacrificially kill farm animals and stuff. Yeah that's the ticket. The only draw back with that is that at most I'd be making 60 - 80 k a year. So I would need to get another job I would love to do.
Hmmm choices choices.
Got it ... I'll be a porn star. I don't mean your average run of the mill porn star that has to start out having sex with animals and such. (that would be too scary... it would remind way to much of home) I mean being the next sex GOD. Yeah that's the ticket. I'd be like who's your daddy...you like that..huh huh...yeah baby yeah. And like all the guys would want to be me and all the women would want me and like I could have 7 gazillion followers and we could sacrificially kill farm animals and stuff. Then I could run for president and win with all my followers and then take over the world...whahahahaha. I'll take bids on countries you want to run...
In the meantime if you need your computer worked on just send me your computer and some $$$.

Stupid People
Why must stupid people think or whatever you call their pathetic excuse for synapses firing between each other. Maybe I'm being harsh and over reacting., but I think you will soon agree with me that we should just be able take these people out back and let them know who their daddy really is!
My job is desktop support and I get to work with some of the dumbest people in a corporate environment. The other day a person called me up and said that their laptop was broke. I said what's it doing and they said nothing, they can't even turn it on. I walk over to investigate. I check to make sure that the adapter is plugged in and it is, but I notice that the cord going from the adapter to the wall not plugged in. Can you say DUH!
I was working on another computer (logged in as myself for admin privileges) then rebooted and left. About 20 minutes later the user comes over complaining that ever since I did my thing, he couldn't log back onto his computer. The man spent 20 minutes trying his password with my user account. After the first 5 minutes of typing your password and not being able to log on (not to mention locking my account out) what part of CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT INFO doesn't register? Same day different guy, exact same thing only took him 3 hours to figure it out.
HESUS EL CRISCO.
I don't want to just be bashing on the guys, because that would show partiality towards women and I believe in equal rights. (Just as long as supper is on the table when I get home and I don't have to clean or do laundry) I once knew a women from Nantucket...nope that's not the right vibe. Anyways I had this lady who kept telling me that her computer is continuously asking here to enter in a floppy for updating. I go over there and it tells me that it can't find the file specified in the folder. Turns out that she had been storing all her folders in her briefcase. Which is fine if you are going to be going on the road and are changing the file, but for everyday use it will corrupt the files. I asked why she way using the briefcase and she said, because I had all these folders I need to organize them. *lol*
I wouldn't want to forget the lady who told me her computer was running slow and giving her memory errors. After a few reboots I ask her how big is her temp directory, she tells me 1.3 GB. I did like every other person in my position would do and tell her to reboot, go back into the temp directory and delete everything in there. Five minutes later she tells me that she can't open this word doc. I go over to help her and she says that it was in this folder where she stores all of her stuff but it's not there anymore. I ask her where her folder was and she leads me to the temp folder. I didn't know what to say knowing that she had just deleted all of her documents. The pursing conversation derived the fact that she thought there was a permanent folder too that the files went after you were done with them. How do you not laugh? *rofl*
Then this one time at band camp, this lady tells me her computer is broke and how when she keeps pressing the button to power on her PC but nothing happens. I walk over there and tell her nothing is wrong with her PC, but in order for her to see what the computer is doing, you must first turn on the monitor. I also love the people how tell you, My computer is broke, it tells me no signal is detected, come fix it now. You walk over and power on the PC. (ok who was the wise guy that cast level VI Stupidity on these people)
Then I sit back and think it would be better if I didn't work for a technology company. Besides I don't see what the big ruckus is about. Computers are a fad similar to the big hair days of the 80's. Wide spread now, but someone will find out that it's bad for the ozone and *poof* no more computers.
