One of those days

So I’m supposed to get my FreeBSD machine at work upgraded, but there seems to be some sort of disconnect between the IS guy and me. So here I am, spending almost half my day so far with my old machine off, waiting for him to show up and plug in the other computer that’s just sitting in my cube.

It’s about now that I realize how much I hated my job when I didn’t have the UNIX machine on my desk. It’s very difficult to do my job with only Windows NT to help me. Especially when I’m in the middle of doing mundane tasks and I click on a link in IE, and the entire OS crashes. Blue Screen of Death. Yay Microsoft.

Die Die Die Die Die.

Slim Jones Diet Soda

I have developed an addiction to Jones Soda‘s Diet Cream Soda. A co-worker bought a case of it and stocked the fridge here at work. After doing some research on the web as to where to find it around me, I discovered some very interesting things about the soda.

First of all, there are pictures on each of the labels, over a thousand by now, and they’re all submitted by the consumers at the website. Then there’s the unofficial library of all of the label pictures, and people actually collect all of the labels.

I’m just keen on the whole sucralose sweetener. I just hope I can find the diet cream soda locally, I’d hate to have to buy it online.

Profiles

I need an option on my Yahoo! Profile under “Marital Status” that’s not “Single And Looking” or “Single, Not Looking.”

Something along the lines of “Single And Bitter.”

OmniSky

I just cancelled my OmniSky account (wireless modem for my Palm V). I wasn’t using it enough to warrant $33 a month.

But just two days ago I went and bought 250MB of disk space from Yahoo! Website to store my images on so my DSL doesn’t blow up whenever someone looks at my webpage, so that about cancels out.

But at least now I’m helping keep my employer in business.
