YES VIRGINIA, IT DOES TASTE LIKE CRAP - So I was out and about on lunch today and thought it would be a good idea to stop at the gas station to buy a pack of smokes. When I walk in I see this happy display of a new Pepsi flavor... Pepsi Vanilla! (Please note that the exclimation point is way overrated for what it is.) I grab one and proceed to the counter. The lady rings up the transaction and gives me total. I whip out my checkbook and ask who I make it out to and the lady gives me this wierd look. I ask her again and asks me what my name is. I tell her and asks me if I'm on the list. (The list, what friggin list?!!?! Did I say the magic words for entrance into their underground club? Maybe it was like that Patrick Dempsey movie, Loverboy, and they want extra anchovies?) So anyway, I ask her what the hell she is talking about and how one gets on this coveted list. She gives me a wierd look and says that I can't wite one there. Now that's odd... I have before. So I give some patented sarcasm and leave. I start to head down the road to my favorite sandwiche shop and write a check there for the same merchandise. What blows about the situation is that my Pepsi Crap went up from $.79 to $1.09. If I just came from a week of forced survival in the desert and the only thing that was available when I get out was this swill, I'd be glad to take a tall glass of sand filled with a wonderful mix of baby scorpions. It's that wonderful.

WORK AND WORMS - Holy shit... This worm has taken the world by storm and made the last 2 days a living hell for my job. Call after call it's all about "my PC keeps restarting!" and "it's all your fault, fix it!" It's not my companie's problem that you don't keep up on your critical updates and patches. Just suck it up and take the blame for your inability to make sure your PC is working properly. If you car dies, do you call the local Shell station because the tires went flat? NO, you do not. SO STOP CALLING YOUR ISP AND DEMANDING THAT THEY FIX YOUR PROBLEM. It's a worm called msblast.exe (w32.blaster.worm.) Now that you have a taste, go consult your PC manufacturer, Microsoft and/or anti virus software publisher AND LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!
