It's ...
Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Yesterday's gone
Echo greeting me!
Well, I met up with Monkeyjack and family yesterday. We met at Munchies and we had the beer sampler -- 10 beers in 2oz shots. There was a Chardonary-esque beer that was bad, but most were fair. I liked the American Red of Mad Anthony Brewery. I wound up getting an accidental free beer. Monkeyjack was kind enough to splurge and take the whole bill -- I owe him!


We then went to Zesto's ice cream and later to Monkeyjack's place. There, Charlie wanted to show me rented games -- Chicken Little being his favorite of the two.

Tasha said, "no no"

Well, here's her picture!
She's cute, adorable, feisty little teen-thinking girl. Tasty, but it ends there. You'd think she was something else if you took much of what she said seriously.
Yes, the background and some foreground were further edited.

My computer died for a few short hours
Thankfully, while expensive, it is now working. The power pack, now number 3, is garbage. The guy there is ordering a refurbished one. I credit these guys with diagnosing the problem free and finding a solution. I suggest, if you ever need computer aid, to seek out these guys.
Nicely done, guys!

Deathly Hallows
Okay, well ... it was a fair conclusion, parts needlessly contrived and long-winded, but a good deal better than book 5 -- piece of garbage. Anyway, the only bits I'll add, not spoiling a bloody thing:
it is a dark book, you get to learn about Snape -- more than you knew.
There is no spoilage here ... I've given away nothing. It also finishes with a "now what?" epilogue.
If I were to rank the books, I like the books in this order: 4, 1, 3, 6, 7, 2, 5

click, click, click
Find ... better ... job. [enter]
. . .
Well, it isn't that simple then. Work stank ... grew very aggravated over people not working -- especially the ones who are supposed to be setting the example. May Hell have a special spot for my hate, but I'd prefer to just let my hate go there.
Dislike job ... hate it. I'm looking for another one.

short about work
Computer is "glitchy" supposedly. I imported data last night and I could not, for the luck of the Irish, get the thing to sort out the differences between what the left and right were. Unit one noted some dollar figure and after loading that data, unit two found different numbers. After a while I surrendered and just said, forget about it!
The IT guys had to do some scrambling for ... the left hand cheifies had one thing planned, but the right hand IT guys weren't up to date on the time frame. And the more of this I see I wonder to myself, how profitable it could be if they were efficient by communicating with each other.
I left work last night and remembered, after months of working there, it had not seriously downpoured on me upon leaving. So, except for my sweat, I always went home dry. Thanks God!

I didn't wait in line for it
I was at Walgreens, they had a rack of Harry Potter, so I bought one.
I read about half of it so far. It is dark and consistent with her other books with periods of unnecessary dry spots and the Scooby Doo clues and mysteries that one wonders why it would take weeks or months for teens, especially smart at casting spells and tactics to put together puzzles like:
people, soylent green, is
So ... we have a few combinations leading to soylent green is people, okay, yeah ... that's important.
My other little complaint about her style of writing, though clearly geared for kids, is the stuff in the background IS important, like the cast of thirty some characters you've developed. Let's just talk about seven of them, alright then? I guess, it seems to me that you write one thing, then forget it a few chapters later or a book later. Odd anyway.
I think the avid Potter readers will enjoy the references to the other books and the little tidbits and red herrings in this last book.
Let's read this ... nope, given nothing of the book away. Enjoy, or not.

technically speaking ...
So, I put together a project for work. It took me a bit of time. I emailed the work, but thought I ought to have a back up plan if that fails.
Yep, the server got 2 of 30 emails I sent. I also put the work together so that the people there had only to click on file, then hit print. Apparently, that was too technical for the GM. I showed him click, print.
I discovered that the margin parameters (maximum range) for the presently-used printer were inferior to the printer I use at home, so, I will later show the staff how to go into MS Word, click picture and change the size allowing it to fit neatly on the ONE page for each and every entry.
In the end, I got a, "thanks".
It will be good to leave that job and leave them as they left me ... "buried alive in the center of a dead" vacuum of complacency and idiocy.
They can then shout, "Khan" very loudly so that it echoes into space.

American consumers brought to their knees
Full of want and "to be the first", American consumers do what the Soviet people did in the 80s, wait in long lines. In the U.S. we have fools waiting in long lines for:
X-Box, X-Box 360, PS-2, PS-3, PSP, iPod, iPhone, Harry Potter, new entree at fast food place.
Let's face it folks, if you have that much time to waste ... say 90 minutes waiting in line for a movie ticket to see it first day, you've got too much time. If you wait for two hours for ride Vortex 720 roller coaster ... something is wrong with your brain.
If you can't wait to get a 2008 model so you'll pay the extra $2000 - $5000 for the "rare" opportunity, then you've got a want problem. I think that I've had time off a job for a while then working a fartload of hours and that's given me a better idea that I don't want to waste my time waiting to be third in line rather than just go another day. I don't dance around with bragging rights, so I think I'd rather not waste time waiting in line for something that I can get later.
Gee, if I don't get it now, it will be $5 more. Um ... OK.

I was looking for a job when ...
I found a posting for writing, creative management of Netsmartz. They even have a few small area videos. The one I watched was about a thirteen year-old girl who ran away with a fifty-six year-old man (murderer) who was jailed for 25 years. The girl is safe now, but how safe could anyone in that family feel, really.
While I might not have what it takes to get that job, it was refreshing to see some site out there to protect through education.
