I worked 9 hours over the weekend. I got everything done I wanted to. The only snag seems to be that everybody wants to use projectors and I just dont have enough.

Ick.

I have to take a kid to the dr at 4 today. I bet my boss is gonna love that when I find the cohonies(sp?) to tell him.

All in all its shaping up to be monday.

I dont have anything to say today so Im leaving an offering of wild blueberry wallpaper if anyone wants it.


Have a GREAT weekend!

I heard from someone that anonamous comments are running rampant leaving nastygrams accross the internet, so I wanted to share alittle tool I use to track such reprobates,ARIN Home Page. Its ARIN, They can give you contact info for any jerk off nasty comment leavers ISP. If you start calling and bitching about people to their ISP usually things stop. Also it makes it easier to track dynamicly changing IPs when they change and your old blocked ones aint so blocked anymore(Unless you blocked the range.).

Enjoy!

PS. Yes Asa I know you know about it.

Im making some little weenies for a potluck today. My next door cube neighbor is leaving to go be a BA or some such nonsense.

Ill miss her alot.

Shes so fun, usually laughs at my jokes and enjoys giving people at hotornot.com 1's with me...

How can I go on?

Oh yeah with little weenies!

Yeah...So I traded duties today with Wanda. I was Line 2(Fixing stuff) but I traded her for Line 1 (taking calls). Ill still do plenty line 2 stuff but that's not what the story is about.

This is the story of an end user who put in a support request.

The Supreq went like this:

"the user cannot remove his USB storage card from the sales rooms computer"

Me: Dave(that's my boss), Look at the unassigned calls and lemme know how you wanna proceed
Dave:GRRRRR, Im going to have to send out a reminder about how your not supposed to do that.
Me: Ill call him right now.
Brian(The user):Hi Robert! I cant get my memory stick out.
Me: Your breaking the rules. You cant bring in stuff and plug it in.
Brian:O?
Me:Yeah, you could infect everything with viruses like that.
Brian:Well Clayton had one and he mentioned to me they were 5 bucks...
Me:Keep giving us names and maybe we can go easier on you. Its really the best thing for you right now.
Brian:Im not really in trouble am I?
Me:Well, my boss is kinda freeking out.
Dave-BANGS HAND ON DESK-:Hes got 2 minutes then im going over there and confiscating it!
Me:Brian look. If I come over there Im just going to rip it out anyway. If its working it should be seated right and it should unseat. Be strong and yank it out.
Brian:If I break the USB port on the computer am I going to be in trouble?
Me:Too late for that now, might as well just rip it out.
Brian:Ok, Ill call you back.

He called back and got it out without damaging anything. I just wonder about these people sometimes.

I mean if your an end user and you wanna use your external USB storage card here at work, then what you should do is pull out your wallet, check your ID. If the name on there is not Robert Schultz then dont even think about it.

Would it be self absorbed of me to post my own pic? Forget the pictures of blueberries and sunsets? Wading pools and kids fishing?

Well if it is, then I dont care.

Well, I had these nice little 5X8 cards I had written blog posts on everyday I was camping (will 3 or 4 days) but my GF accidentally washed them when we got back (Or I forgot to take them out of my pants). SO I dont have that resource anymore.

To summarize:

We had a walk in campsite about a half mile from the parkinglot on "Lake 21" In the Bemidji state forest. The bathroom was also a half mile away. Which wasn't really a problem, FOR THE GIRLS, who got to use my "mother-in-law's" chem toilet that we hauled in on the boat. (Did I mention the campsite was right "on" the lake?). Yeah, the chem toilet. Good times. See every 2 days it would fill up. When it fills up it quits flushing, when it quits flushing you end up with nastiness in the bowl that, well, wont flush. So when the unfortunate soul who needs to take it and dump it (Invariably me) opens the do-hickey that detaches the "refuse bin" from the seat it pours all over them. YUM!

Additionally I went with grampa and the kids picking blueberries (we got about 5 gallons), We went and robbed some forest clearing project of a bunch of loose wood (enough for 5 days, which lemme tell you is ALOT of wood),watched the kids fish, played some cards, played some bocce ball, I also had a strange dream that I was at a celebrity wedding. It was wacked.

Ill end with a list of the animals we saw while we were there:

Bats,
Squirrels,
Walleye,
Bluegill,
Owl,
Beaver,
Deer,
Muskrat,
Bear,

Gramma scared the bear away by yelling at it just as it overturned our coolers.

Maybe Ill post some pics after lunch.

My ear really hurts today. I have no idea why. Its the one on the right. Deep inside.

This will prolly be my last post before I go camping. I was supposed to goto South Dakota but the mother in law is feeling alittle undert the weather. (She recently found out she had some pollops in her uterus) so we are just going north to like leech lake or something.

1 week no computers :^(

This retarded study says that the placement and type of vowels in your name makes you more or less sexy.

Bullshit.

The way they are "proving" this is by placing 2 identical pictures on hotornot and noting the differences in ratings depending on what the users were rated.

You can get different results on hot or not all the time if you just repost the picture. without having to change you name.

And who the hell looks at the peoples names on hotornot anyway(can you even?)?

I just go through and give everyone 1's, how does science account for that?

MIT has gone downhill in my book.

I bet that chick is just trying to justify her own non-attractiveness with her theory.

I am going to crawl out of the dark ages and put winxp on my computer tonight.

what fun.

Additionally Im dreading the week long camping trip I have coming up. NO BLOGGER FOR YOU!

Well That Doom 3 is pretty scarey. Nothing like walking through a door and getting jumped on by the darkness and having your face eaten off.

Good times.

Regrettably I have alot of work todo this morning and prolly into the afternoon too. I need to find updated firmware for some NICs and get ready for the big retirement services expo...Additionally my boss is out the rest of the week and has made me the "goto guy" :^( I think that means Im acting supervisor.

I made this mug using a tool at flashface.ctapt.de




Not too bad a likeness huh? I had to use a mustache to get my uni-brow to look right.

I know it seems dumb to talk about the weather but...but,but,but...

ITS ONLY GOING TO BE 55 DEGREES TODAY!

I thought it was August? I thought it was supposed to be pushing 100 this month. Instead it feels like October?!

Global warming my asshole.

Obviously I didn't write this.

There's a specter in the corner of an illustrated page
And a lonesome muted stripling with a rapt remedial gaze.
The poverty of his language and the wealth of his emotion
Bring him endless murky musings and unexpected frustration
Angst and madness weave the fabric of his life.
Tomorrow might be better but right now it feels like

#&%#"@$#!"&*""%%75838769%("%56("5965&65"$"%423!(060_*"7534#

There's a panther wild and proud behind the doors of a redolent cage,
And an underdeveloped intellect filled with impotent and static rage.
And don't think you're exempt if you earn good weekly wages,
'Cause you're neighbor's going crazy and insanity's contagious.
I know there's so much you want to say
But your tongue gets in the way and sometimes it feels like

Monday. Tired. Monday.

I dont really have anything to say today. I played some bocce ball over the weekend. I won once. My friend fixed his evenrude outboard motor and we took his new boat out on the lake. The motor died and stranded us out there. We used the trolling motor to come in at about .3 mph. The "20 minute trip" took about 2 hours. It was alright (cause I get pretty freaked out over going fast on boats), except for where we had to cross the channel and caused a big traffic jam.

Sigh

Tonight!

Sorry for being out yesterday. I ended up with a mother of a toothache at the tail end of that radio station party I was at and didn't get much sleep the night before last so I stayed in bed yesterday until about noon. Then I got up and took some pain meds and went tubing. It was a good time. But speaking of the radio station party heres the breakdown.(Sorry I didn't take any pictures.)

FOOD:GOOD
ENTERTAINMENT:SUCKED
PRIZES:I WON A TRIP TO THE MOTOCROSS BUT TRADED FOR A BIG FLASHLIGHT
TIME: 4 HOURS

So it wasnt so bad but still something I would like to avoid if at all possible.

In the words of my nextdoor cube-neighbor, "uhhhhhhguhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhh"

Im tired. I started feeling rather not well last night at about 10. So I went to bed early at 11. It didn't help. I had strange strange strange nightmares all night long. I finally got up at 6:30 and watched some TV and took a giant heap of dirty clothes downstairs for the GF. Ick. I still feel like crap.

Perhaps these pills that another of my coworkers gave me will help. Its called ALTOVIS. I read the ingredients and the main one is Caffeine 100 mg. Thats alot of caffeine, even for me.

At least Im line 1 today. That should make things easier. I also want to find out where I can look to see what domain policies are being pushed down to my PC. Since no network analysts can answer my question regarding that. Ill also be playing some Yoshi's island for supernintendo. That Yoshi what a guy...er...dinosaur...er...Dragon...er...Yoshi. WTF is a Yoshi anyway?

Every month I download an album from this guy and torture my coworkers with it. You might like it. Its mostly out of print stuff from the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's. This month he has a compelation of moog (whatever the f that is) music he put together.

Downloadable Album of the Month

Oh btw HAPPY MONDAY!
