brain-sucked and siesta'd



i just received an email (that's probably been around a few years):
In a recent interview, General Norman Schwartzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward Hizbollah.

The General said,
" I believe that forgiving Hizbollah is God's function. The Israeli's job is to arrange the meeting."


well, we'll do our best.

just before leaving last night, our employee-of-the-month brain-fucker caught me with my pants down. literally, i was changing back into uniform, and he came in and started harrassing me: he wanted me to use my admin privileges to install some random crap software on his machine.

i answered him negatively. he began explaining why it's okay to do it. i started responding. therein lies my mistake - assuming that he was actually listening... not only to me, but to himself. that man produces the biggest load of bullshit, and that's when you can understand him above the mumbling.

i was almost out the door, when i'd had enough. i told him if it's that important, and i obviously don't know what i'm talking about, then he can go and ask spot (spot's in charge of the current system-wide upgrade).

"but i asked him already. he's more extreme than you!"

fortunately the boss was next-door, and heard the entire exchange. "great, so now you want to go around spot by getting me to install it for you?" i basically told him to fuck off, and then left; but he'd already irritated the shit out of me. the knowing smile that the boss gave me didn't really help as much as it should've.

today we cleaned our office again. we'd obviously missed something important yesterday, because the place reeked and there were bugs and ants everywhere. i was beginning to think that the new girl might have been hiding bodies or something. so that wasted some time, and then we went to the hospital to visit a teammate who's just undergone surgery. we spent quite a long time there - certainly making the other patients feel secure :P

we ate lunch, arguing over the appropriateness of being attracted to japanese schoolgirls... then spent the afternoon arbing. i even got a solid hour's nap when my CO disappeared ^_^

the depressing news for the day? depeche mode had to cancel - their technicians wouldn't agree to come, so they quit too.

anyway, you know coffee's good when you forget about the last dregs, and two hours later it tastes good cold :>

to work!
