Oh, ow, I think my head just exploded. So. I THOUGHT (hahahahah!) that I’d told you the whole story back in December; turns out there was a minor addendum last month that almost made me find a baby to punch in the face. We had about a week to get all the vegetation away from [...]

The title really does say it all. Other people are a constant lesson in frustration. “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand.” — Charles M. Schulz At one of the bookstores where I used to work, I had a district manager who used to pop out such gems as “my perception of you is [...]

A few months ago, we got a notice that the company with which we have our homeowners insurance was randomly dropping about 50% of the homes it has in Florida. Something about hurricanes, which apparently destroy homes, and insurance companies don’t like to pay for? Hello, isn’t that why we have insurance? Fuckity fuckers. Here’s [...]

Remember how a couple months ago I said that my host wanted me to move to a different hosting plan, and how I was dragging my feet because I was going to have to do all that mumbo-jumbo myself and move everything, and I didn’t want to because SQL is like some foreign language that [...]

Anyone? Anyone get the song reference? :crickets: OK… moving on. You know what? (“turkeys don’t trot. you know why? they never did try!” THANK YOU PAPA. You’ve been dead for 25 years and I still can’t get that annoying phrase out of my head.) ANYWAY. I just wrote about a two-page bitchery on my least [...]
