  • First day of my honeymoon, wife and I are sitting down with a drink, my old boss called me and asked real nasty, “I just wanted to know if you were planning on coming in today.”

    Uh…no?

    Why not?

    The ship I’m on is literally leaving port right now. I’m about to not even be in the country. I’m on my honeymoon?

    So there’s no possible way for you to come in today?

    Not unless you send a helicopter and come here on it to explain to my very angry wife why I’m not going to be here on our HONEYMOON…

    Well I have you down as working here today. In the future, you’re supposed to inform us 2 weeks in advance before using your vacation time. You can’t just decide to not come in.

    We discussed this in person 6 months ago. I gave you the required form myself at that time. You signed it and gave me a copy, which is sitting on my desk at home. I’ll see you in two weeks.

    Alright and when you get back we can have a meeting about properly notifying supervisors when you intend to take long periods of time off…

    God, what a miserable asshole she was.



  • I think it was RealPlayer for me. I remember finding different sites and praying the connection was alright. That they were at least close enough in the world that you didn’t see that awful word, “Buffering…” Then I learned how to rip the whole rt file. Pretty sure I still have Trigun in rt actually…

    Then once Winamp had video streaming, I remember surfing through crap on there all the time. Sooooo many weird foreign movies and anime…













  • A security violation? From the guy who said “You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it.” during an interview? From the administration that accidentally texted it’s plans to bomb Yemen to a journalist 2 hours before the attack? You mean the guy that tweeted photos from a satellite so classified, the last guy that leaked photos from it was sent to jail for espionage? The guy that stole hundreds of classified documents and destroyed an unknown number more? Nah…
