of note
Been hit pretty hard lately by sickness and then lots of work. Recall period started Friday — already things are screwing up, but I’m beginning to settle into a pretty comfortable zone of “Fuck you, I don’t give a flying goat’s ass.” Like I said, working for an incompetent builds character. What kind of character is debatable though.
Oh, and a couple of interesting personal revelations the last couple of days. “Interesting” as in “I’m not going to share it with you, but I’m surprised I’m not as affected as I could have been, but I’m probably just sick and overworked, so to the news that could have been mildly traumatic, fuck you, I don’t give a flying goat’s ass.” So, yeah, that’s all the vagueness you’ll get from me about that.
Amusingly enough, the Firefox button in my last post is quite effectively blocked in Firefox. This is because I installed Adblock with its default filters. I was wondering for quite a bit why the stupid button wasn’t showing up, until I noticed the URL has /affiliates/ in it. Stupid spreadfirefox.com people.
Also, Walt Mossberg, “the most powerful arbiter of consumer tastes in the computer world,” [Newsweek] recommends everyone switch to Firefox over IE. In fact, he recommends switching to Mac because it’s “more secure, but the Mac operating system is more capable, more modern and more attractive than Windows XP, and just as stable.” Hallelujah, most powerful arbiter-dude.
Back to camp in afternoon for recall manning… as my understudy put it, it’s like trading a day with noisymoronboss* for two days without him — one day on the weekend, and one off-in-lieu day. Yay.
* Ok, I added that bit.
