Oh Zicam xtreme congestion relief, how I love your nozzle-y goodness, your aloe-y soothing, the way you make it possible for me to breathe. New name for wastes of space, aka mouth breathers, aka sacks of useless protoplasm: oxygen thief. Hit em where it hurts.

Ok, while I would completely faceplant on this with NO problem, I still think it’s neat: http://bit.ly/SXSVj new waste of time found: http://thatwillbuffout.com/ Previous life must have been filled with kicking puppies and drowning kittens by the truckload. The car just got rear-ended. Rescheduling my appointments, oil change, doggy dental, refunds. I thought not being at work...

My tv refuses to play the George W Bush movie “Crawford”. I’m quite serious. The buffer just stops and will not move. First response to emails sent out. This might be promising.

BLT with cheesy bread and maple turkey bacon from Amish market, fresh tomato and good lettuce = A little slice of heaven. Amish market for meats, cheese, bread. Asian for produce. Enough food to last us three times what we normally get. Hello frugality!

It’s really hard to watch the Les Paul documentary on Hulu and not feel inspired somehow. A literal silver lining to the day. http://it3.me/47721 Serious drinking supplies, check! http://twitpic.com/eru7m Hooray! My weekend started early! … There’s this one catch though… The only truly failed [experience or] project is the one where you didn’t...

I just got a homemade thank you card from an aspiring jewelry-maker for a purchase her father made from http://bunnymade.com ! So sweet! Sense of normalcy returning to the office. A respite from construction and the font of knowledge returns from NY. Win.

Grown men blasting “mmmbop” and seat dancing in the car. Me, trying to hide in the backseat so no one can identify my face. Submitted expense report. Received check for reimbursement less than a half hour later. THAT’S what I like to see.

Quadfecta! Equivalent of rm -rf * on a machine, removal of cling-on w/ drama, lyme disease for dog, and blinking question mark on boot up. RT @OmniTI We’re honored, we’re humbled, we’re impressed. Well done Theo! http://tr.im/wxT7 #acm (well done indeed!) Penance enough for whatever wrongs committed: DC Beltway at rush hour, sans AC and music. http://is.gd/2kiCO...

You know what…. “Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically” Bit me again. $ sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext $ sudo rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/tun.kext Works a whole lot better at removing the cscotun0 thing that was screwing with my VPN. I’ll give you 5 guesses which finger I’m directing at Cisco right about now.

You know the day needs to end shortly when talk of jabbing out eyeballs with a rusty spork is given some real thought. Does anyone know where I can get a frontal lobotomy kit on the cheap? I just watched an ad whose catch phrase includes the words “optimal pooper”. I’m officially appalled.

Folks, if you note people leaving the room shortly after you enter it, perhaps you should check your personal hygiene. Just sayin. Pardon me, could you provide the location of the customer service desk for the “Universe”? I’d like to lodge a complaint. cisco vpn + mac = I AM BORG, USING ANY OTHER VPN IS FUTILE. We’ll see about that. DELETE. REBOOT. All better now....

FYI: “at least it didn’t page at 2am!” is an unacceptable answer to the friendly oncall sysadmin (moi), and vengance shall be mine. Do not do this. Ever. http://bit.ly/lIomY The crackberry has arrived. I’m hearing ALL about what it does and “does yours?”. Yet, I’m the one giving advice when the questions come. I sense a time suck…...

HOLY MOLEY it’s comin’ right for us! TAKE COVER! About to start murdering people if the construction doesn’t stop soon. Wait, you want to combine phase 2 with phase 3, and you haven’t provided the necessary items for that? THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL, LETS DO THAT! Threadless sold my email account? Way to go, morons.

pls to be killing me now, kthx
Me: we'd like to change the cronjob from its current time to 6:16pm so that it finishes earlier in the day. We'll return it to the normal time after the reboot.
Customer: k that is fine
Me: Alright.
Customer: as long as the script runs at normal time, thx
Me: Customer, changing it from its current time will mean that it's not going to run at "normal time" for that day.

Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided: 1. A nose ring and bifocals 2. Spiked hair and bald spots 3. A pierced tongue and dentures 4. Miniskirts and support hose 5.  Ankle bracelets and corn pads 6. Speedo’s and cellulite 7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar 8.

A womans favorite sentence: “You’re right.” and you have to mean it. Getting my toes did. Going with purple today. Shiny! I got bit by a leprechaun in the moshpit! To which he got his nose smacked and an admonishment of “bad dog!”. Then he came back for a hug. New good band found that I’ll be purchasing. Will botch the spelling… Lionize? ...
