OT: Happy Monday!

6:06am: ring ring...
Groggily, "Hello?"
"Hi Ken, it's Bob at <workplace>. We have a little problem here. Looks like
we lost power over the weekend and all the servers are down. Could you come
in early to get them back up and running?"
"Wow, yeah, sure, alright. I'll be in by quarter past 7, instead of my usual
9."

7:10am: ring ring...
Curiously, "Hi Bob. It's Ken. Now, when you said 'all the servers are down',
what did you mean? Because I'm looking at them right now, and they're all up
and running. Our battery backup worked just like it's supposed to, and the
power failure didn't affect the machines at all."
"Oh, when I said 'all the servers are down', I meant my machine.
Sternly, "Bob, your machine is not a server."
"It's not? I thought all computers were servers. Well, anyway, it serves
me."
Angrily, "Bob, don't call me at home anymore. If you have a problem, ask
<manager> first and have him call me."

Needless to say, that is *not* how I wanted to start my week. And to top it
off, I just found out we don't have next Monday off. Ugh.

Jeez, I am already on my way to work by then. Gotta
beat the traffic in, not becasue it is too crowded but
because I firmly believe that over 1/2 of the drivers
here in Arkansas are NASCAR fabs who want to
use the public highways as their personal racetracks.

They try all those wonderful rtacing maneuvers out while
driving to work. I have had more close calls in the past
three years of driving on AR roads than I have in my enitre
previous driving history. And I had the distinct pleasure of
driving in Washington DC, Riyadh and Dahrain Saudi Arabia,
and even managed to get jammed up in Chicago rush hour once.
Thsoe were all mild comparted to the idots that drive in this state.

I have asked work people on several occasions to not call my home number.
The company is providing me with a cell phone for a reason, after all. At
least that way they don't wake up the whole house when they call me in the

It's not a company phone...it's my personal phone...I should be able to
leave it on if I want. One more pre-alarm work call though, and I think I
start turning it off at night. If someone needs me, they can come to my
house to wake me up. If they don't know where I live, then I don't want to
hear from them anyway.

If you see someone with a messy desk, people think,

Truth is, a messy desk means he's trying to look
like he's working hard or he is very unorganized
and inefficient.

The guy with the clean desk, he has all his work done.

I don't know if this applies to "shes" as well, but

I guess that would depend on how hard you are trying to do it. something
about "physics" and "force" and "displacement" and stuff....

You mean that posting here... is "using the force"?

Do, or do not. There is no try.

lol.

I hate running, always have. I think some people like it. Freaks.

I run because:

a) If I didn't with my family history I would already be dead
b) I like the way I feel when I stop running
c) In group runs I like to follow the young chicks (not that young!)
d) I get lots of stupid t-shirts
e) I can eat at McDonalds and stay mildy overweight instead of grossly
obese.
