Re: Random randomness
Why do you give people who can't verbally communicate in English well jobs where they are charged to work on the phone speaking to people in English, where proper communication is the key to accomplishing anything? And then on top of it, put them in positions where they don't understand what they are supposed to communicating about?
I don't care about cost, how could this ever seem like a good idea to anyone, ever?
How can it possibly be a good idea to take someone who does not know what job they are supposed to be doing and putting up a language barrier between them the person they are working with.
Twenty minutes to speak to someone, who had no idea what I was talking about so they could send "my" problem up the line to someone does know what they are talking about. How is this productive? I understand that they low level ticket writer is there to act as a gate keeper, but twenty minutes? Is it any wonder I had to wait on hold a half an hour to get my twenty minutes of interview so someone who knows WTF they are talking about can call me back within 48 hours is I am luck?
I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job I love my job.

Are all work boot shoe laces of dubious quality or am I just a failure at shoe string theory and application 101?
It makes no sense to me that $200 work boots have shoe strings that snap after a few months, a problem I have consistantly.

Mosquitos should evolve to not itch. You'd think that if a mosquito had nonitchy saliva they'd get slapped and die much less frequently, allowing them to propegate the nonitchy biting technique.

Re: Random randomness
I was at a teriyaki place and they sell sushi. They had a teriyaki beef roll. Ok seriously, I know a lot of people claim to eat sushi, but only eat the cooked stuff and I'm fine with that, but this.... This is just an abomination of everything good in the world. Teriyaki beef should not ever go into anything that is remotely considered sushi. Shame on you...

For future reference. If you have an open container of toothpaste in one hand and a toothbush in the other and you look in the mirror and you see you collar is messed up it is would be an excerise in wisdom to start and finish brushing your teeth before straightening your collar.

If you tear open a condiment packet then spread it with the open end of the packet, you may as well ask the fast food worker who handled the packet to come over and spread it with his fingers.

Re: Random randomness
Oh suckin,
Band of Skulls, who I just started listening to this weekend, are coming to town on the 9th for a $10 show. I'll be in Denver.
It's an excellent time to find music right now. Every time I turn around I am hearing something I like.

Went to my first game at Fenway over the weekend and I didn't hear the "Yankees Suck" chant once. I was very disappointed.
Fenway was a blast though.

On a whim I googled an ex of mine and found her myspace page (I will now refrain from mocking her for having a myspace as I have a facebook ). She has some links to some songs she has performed. They are actually really good. Now I can't stop thinking about her.

Re: Random randomness
Joke on my google this morning...
A man rushes his limp dog to the veterinarian. The doctor pronounces the dog dead. The agitated man demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat. The cat sniffs the body and meows. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too."
The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.
The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body and barks. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead, too."
The man finally resigns to the diagnosis and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man.
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 is for the cat scan and lab tests."

I heard Elvis playing "Run On" last night and as it turns out I like Moby's version, which is obviously heavily influenced by Elvis' version, better. Something is very wrong with me.

not nearly the longest I've ever made but still long
As for the whim, I was checking to try and find a number on my cell for a friend that has the same first name and scrolled past her. Got me wondering what had happened to her. Seems she is doing well which is nice.
