Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

I keep guessing, but I just don't know

Who's the "mystery" Arcola blogger who's reading my blogs? I'm not upset, just curious. "It makes me wonder ... wonder wonder."+

+ INXS

error message that means little to me

550 Could not open: Read-only file systemblog/37/37/0/eledteacher/archives/2007_01_01_eledteacher_archive.html

It would seem to me there is a date error, but it isn't on my machine that I know. My computer date is right.

After much effort to look at my own updated blog ... I stoppped

The archive was faulty. So, what does that mean? I see that I can post, but I can't re-read my own blog or see whether or not it is posting correctly. Blooger didn't seem to have a [click here to email blogger about issue].

Night Blogger Died

"For Pete's sake", was my mantra tonight. "There were errors", 502 Server error, etc. Man alive was it shotty for me tonight.

flagged or red-flagg?

Maybe Black Flagged (TM).

Some viewer marked something on my blog, "objectional content". Well, I guess so. I would have to say, that through much of it, I mark it fairly well that material isn't appropriate for all audiences. Thinking about it, I generally write in non-English. What did they read?

very naughty costume

woman dressed as Futurama's Bender. "I am Bender (you get this), please insert girder."
She needs to power her fuel cells with alcohol.
Then, like Father Guido Sarducci, "The Man Who Loved Swimmin'", I dove into the cold, cold pool for a quick wade.

another sign of dweebishness

I was watching Ice Age the Meltdown, trying desperately to find something so quiet, slow that I'd gently pass into sleep, not with this. I watched and the scene were Ellie, as a toddler mastodon crept under the tree, I thought:
if I were there with a depedant person (child), I would cut down the pine branches and make a round shelter and try to make layers and pockets of air to make it warmer and ...

man, I'm such a goober geek.
Ya know ... they aren't interested in science in this kids' show.
Yeah, I know.

roulette wheel employment

In looking at postings there are around ten companies that post daily or nearly daily. I'd say the turnover rate is indicative of a problem. Average employment duration .... 17 minutes.

Fast & competent in a flunky world

The dyer sounded like "a body rotating in the drum" and after a phone call, the technician correctly identified the simple problem. He fixed it in under 15 minutes, having brought the part with him and was courteous. The bill was a bit high, $118, but that's cheaper than a private service, hauling it in or guessing and replacing parts.

Thanks Stucky Brothers!

odd offering


Food, lodging, restaurant ... in the army.

outerview

I went to an interview and it started with a 6' 8" man who walked in, cursed at something in his area, and did two 10-second long belches in a row.  The job was an impossible sales job.  I wondered how the lard-laden sailer did his job.
