New Years Resolutions

I noticed that several people have posted resolutions, and thought that it would be a good idea to put them in writing. Maybe I will actually accomplish a couple of them.

1. Clean my basement
2. Quit smoking (again)
3. Clean out some of the dead weight at work (shitcan some people)
4. Quit being so fucking nice (goes with #3)
5. Kiss my kids more
6. Win the lottery and tell my company to go fuck itself.
7. Have Jessica Alba for dinner (have to ask the wife first)

Good to go

Well, I am staffed, back at home, and drinking a Sam Adams. Going to have to hit the sack soon, so Happy New Year to all.

Work

Well crap. I unfortunately have to go back to work for a couple of hours. Maybe I will grab a sandwich or something while I am out as well. Hopefully I will make it back in one piece. Luckily I won’t have to stick around for amateur night as long as my people all show up.

Movies

Got in my new bath of movies from Netflix. Think I will veg out and watch Pitch Black for awhile.

Cell phone

I did receive my new cell phone Thursday night. Came via Fedex, and since I am at work all day, I had to drive to Lithia Springs to pick it up. Some dumbass at Verizon sent me what they call a “Quarantined phone”. That means that it has software on it that it shouldn’t have. I spent a total of about three hours at two different Verizon stores trying to get them to take care of it, the final result was that I should call tech support (the people that THEY were on the phone with for two hours) and get them to send me a new phone. So far the only thing I have found that I am having problems with is that I can’t access their Get it Now application, but since I make my own ringtones and transfer them from my PC, who cares anyhow. I also can’t seem to access DUN with it either, but I think that is Verizon blocking it on some of the new phones. I will have to email tech support about that. How cool would that be. My cell in my pocket, using my iPaq to access the internet via the bluetooth connection. Hell Yeah.

Once I get that fixed, fuck their tech support. They have been no help to me, same as the people in their store. You would think that as a consumer who spends over two thousand dollars a year with them, they would have just swapped the fucking phone out right then and there.
