not racist but…

I’ve been falsely accused of racism in the past.  Maybe you have too.
The first thing that comes to mind is that I’m not racist: I hate everyone equally.  I maintain the same level of contempt for all of humanity.  I don’t hold any one group above or below the others.  I’m an equal-opportunity basher.  I […]

the terrorists have won…

Someone forwarded me a link that should interest you.  The site is called Gadling and deals with aviation.  File this one under irony.
Something didn’t smell right. British Airways passengers started to panic when a foul smell started coming from their aircraft on a flight between Belgrade and London. Fearing a terrorist attack, the captain turned […]

twelve steps for spaniels

Ok, I’ll admit it. They say that the first step is to admit it.
My dog, Marshall, is powerless over the effects of cat food.
There, I said it. I feel a little better now.
We discovered this quite by accident. Ren (the cat, aka Satan) gets fed in the kitchen, behind louvred doors. […]

more things never to say in an interview

Over at usrbingeek’s musings, there’s a blog about things not to say in a job interview. It’s pretty darn accurate. Since we all need serious advice, it’s good to have those posts (and his real-life experiences). Since I am the little guy with the horns that stands on your shoulder […]

it’s dog-shaving time

Marshall the cocker has become a bit more hirsute of late so off he went to the groomer today. He came back a new spaniel.
The best part of this has nothing to do with Marshall. The biggest fun is always when Satan (Ren the cat) gets a look at Marshall coming in the […]

monday number four

Sometimes it takes me a while to figure the larger things out. Sometimes I get it instantly. This morning I got it almost instantly because it took me so long to figure it out earlier.

…making this the third Monday of the week

So after yesterday’s 85 degree debacle, I figured (hoped?) that today would be a bit more peaceful. Yeah, right.
I started by trying to help the SanMan hook things up (see elsewhere). Instead I got hijacked to help find out why a major piece of software wouldn’t work. Mind you, I don’t […]

the universe is cackling madly at me right now….

It’s been a rough week the past two days.
After all the normal crap at work, we had to deal with the Virtualization Disappointment (see elsewhere) and the Great Air Conditioning Debacle of 2008 (as opposed to the Great Air Conditioning Debacle of 2007).  We almost fell out the door and poured ourselves into our cars.  […]
