Don’t know what I am doing awake right now. This was an awful day back to work after my days off. I may blog about it a bit more once I figure out how to put it down without details but suffice it to say that I have a scumbag and I am making it my mission for this person to be gone by the end of August.
I have one dude on vacation right now and managers off as well for the next three days so I will be busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger through Saturday. It gets a bit easier after that. Now I just have to figure out when I get to take a day off. The guy that’s on vacation doesn’t come back until next Wednesday and I am hoping to slip at least one day off between now and then.
When I saw this over at Stop Motion Verbosity I just knew I had to post this. OMFG, I want to say I have seen this before for some reason but it still made me laugh my rear end off…
Not sure why I am awake right now. I fell asleep in the living room last night when I was putting the youngest to bed and work up about 45 minutes ago. I had several posts I needed to get online anyway at one of the other sites so I went ahead and got that taken care of as well as the last one or two here. I have about an hour before I need to get up so I am going to go try and get a little bit of shut-eye.
I have spent the last couple of days just relaxing, although I did get a few posts up last night.
For a change I ended up just turning my phone off the last couple of days. I am pretty much sick and tired of getting 50 work related calls on my days off and my managers are just going to have to start taking care of things themselves when I am off. They are supposed to be adults as well as professionals so they need to start acting like it.
I new I needed the break anyway as I have a manager on vacation starting today and the next four days I have at least one other manager off as well.
I may post a bit more before I go to work but I am going to see if I can get a bit more sleep in.
BoldLoft is an online store that has several different products for sale revolving around four different themes, Boy meets Girl, Love Element, Human Touch as well as a BoldLove gift set. They offer stuff such as pillow cases, drinking glasses, coffee mugs, and full body pillowcases. This is one of the fullbody pillowcases currently up on their site.
Pretty cool actually. The wife loves he body pillows but we are never able to find cases for them that we like. Once she’s up and about for the day I will have to show her around the site a bit so that she can maybe find a couple she wants to get.
The two gift sets that they currently have listed include in each a body pillow case, two regular pillow cases, and a couple of coffee mugs. They are both pretty nice and just what you want to get for that special girl after you have made her mad. Flowers are lame, so get something that will get used again and remind her of you.
Just finished reading this over at CNN. The article talks about how most of the fans on the Internet are doing a pretty good job at following J.K. Rowling’s wishes about keeping the ending of the book a secret at least long enough to give everyone a chance to read it. I did finish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in about eight hours yesterday and while I will probably end up reviewing it at some point or another, you won’t find a true spoiler here.
I finally found a real-life use for twitter that I am going to start using immediately. My Mile Marker is a site that you enter a bit of data whenever you fill up at the gas tank. Right now the site is free. It tracks your fuel purchases and odometer readings. Every time you are at the pump you just enter your current odometer reading, the number of gallons purchased and the price per gallon. You can add it at the web page or via SMS with Twitter while you are at the pump.
This is cool because I have to track my mileage for work as they pay for my gas used, but filling out the paperwork and figuring MPG is a pain that I hate doing just because it’s one more bit of paperwork to do.
You can also use Twitter to send you reminders (such as remember the milk) on a timer as well. Very very cool.
Apparently there is a site called whosarat.com which claims to be the largest online database of informants and agents and it’s starting to piss off judges around the country. You have to pay for membership so I didn’t peruse any of the information on the site.
According to the blurb on their “about us” page,
Who’s A Rat is a database driven website designed to assist attorneys and criminal defendants with few resources. The purpose of this website is for individuals and attorneys to post,share and request any and all information that has been made public at some point to at least 1 person of the public prior to posting it on this site pertaining to local,state and federal Informants and Law Enforcement Officers. This includes an Informant who makes his or her Informant status known to any person.
The problem with this site is that it’s going to get someone killed. The entire point of the Federal Witness Protection program is so that people can snitch and go into hiding not worrying about recriminations later on. If all of their information is out there for $7.99 that will damn sure give anyone second thoughts about testifying, particularly in high profile cases.
The premise is that criminals are untrustworthy sources and shouldn’t be allowed to bear witness against other criminals. I don’t think it’s quite as black and white as all that myself. I’m have no doubt that people will lie on the stand, but that they don’t necessarily have to be a convicted criminal to tell lies.
Doesn’t leave a hell of a lot to the imagination does it? I will have some posts up later in the day. I ended up taking most of Monday off (as well as from real-life work) to read the new Harry Potter book. Finished it in about eight hours with a break for supper of course.
Have you seen this yet? With the release of the Simpson’s Movie there is a site called Simpsonize Yourself which allows you to upload your photo and turn yourself into a Simpsons character. Some pictures don’t seem to work very well, and it needs to be a photo with a decent resolution as well. Go check it out at www.simpsonizeme.com
If the damned thing ever finishes processing my photo I will upload it here. The ones I saw are pretty cool.
