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. 🙂

    Interesting article on the latest twist in the fax laws. I’m pretty torn about this issue. As the IT person for a small business I can tell you that trying to prepare for the day when we can’t fax anyone without their written permission has been burdensome, to the point where we probably won’t do…

    Well it’s been almost 4 days now, without a word from That Hosting Company, Inc. Yesterday I decided that enough was enough and took matters into my own hands. The first step was getting control of the domain name. Since the domain registration was part of signing up with THC, they were listed as the…

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful.

  • Distractions

    I’ve noticed a somewhat significant drop in traffic the last couple of weeks. No surprise there, the weather’s getting nicer. In turn, weekends get busier, folks are out of the office on vacation, etc. Heck this weekend, I hardly spent any time at all on-line, so I understand! I get distracted from posting, let alone…
