Disturbing behavior…

Yesterday, as I was leaving work I noticed that one of my coworkers has a telescope in his office. Naturally, it’s pointed out the window. Two thoughts raced into my head:

1) We only work during the day.

2) Even if you were here at night, we work in a downtown, urban, hence, well-lit area. Not great for star gazing.

I hope it’s just for decorative purposes because the other options are, well, disturbing…

Then, on the way home last night, stopped at the Taco Bell drive-thru, the woman in front of me was placing her order to the little speaker box, and using hand gestures. While I couldn’t hear what she ordered, I know she wanted 5 of one thing and 3 of another because she held up that many fingers to the box when she ordered. Of course, it was then that I also noticed that her license plate holder was upside down…

Then upon my arrival at home I saw that we had gotten not one, but 2 AOL CD’s in the mail. My first thought was “Oh my god, their software got so big it doesn’t even fit on an f’ing cd anymore!” But that was not the case, they simply sent us two slightly different marketing pieces at the same time! Which, to me, is even more stupid that my first thought, so that just goes to show, never underestimate the level of stupidity in the world, especially at AOL. 🙂

  • Bad IT people?

    This guy really doesn’t like some IT people. I’d have to agree with him in some sense, I’ve run into far too many people who are convinced that technology “X” is THE thing our office needs who’ve never even set foot in our office or bothered to figure out what we do, let alone where…

    Everything seems back to normal after Blogger got hacked this morning. While it was out I read about this crap viral spam effort too. Gee in the little more than a year since I’ve had this site I’ve had a hosting company go out of business, leaving all of their customers in the lurch, my…

    OK after the firestorm that blew through my own brain this morning, that was referenced in the last post, I’m mentally moving on now. After careful reflection, I don’t see any reason to stop what I’m doing now in regards to allowing THC customers to communicate with each other in the forums. It’s a public…
