Meeting after useless meeting. I am so fuckin' ready to get out of here today. I finally got my resume online and listed with about 4 or 5 job sites. My laptop was ghosted yesterday due to OS corruption... The Micro$oft kind, not the penguin kind. It was pretty cool... I handed my laptop to the desktop guy to ghost the corporate XP Pro load over the entire drive, then installed Mandrake 9.1 to dynamically resize the NTFS partition on the fly to make room for the sweet OS. Now, I'm back to dual boot so I can access company coded intranet sites that use transparent authentication and are inaccessible with non-IE, domain aware browsers. Everything else is 100% Linux. I even have my Exchange mail and calendar running smooth as a baby's ass in 9.1. We live in a point and click world. Vendors tell lies at catered lunch presentations and executive adrenaline starts pumping for nifty shit that costs too much. You have to use real tools to get real work done sometimes. Maybe there can be a middle ground, but I'm not on a crusade to reveal it... I just want my non-M$ OS. Tonight is CSI... the real one, not that Miami crap. It's the only hour of television I actually look forward to each week. I have a mobile med check up scheduled for next Wednesday morning. Some nurse named Nakisha is coming to my office to get some Clayton pee and blood whilst assaulting me with medical history questions... Not like "who invented penicillin?"", but do you have any gimp, glaucomic, cancerous, HIV infected, great uncles with fibromyalgia?". Joy. Nothing much is new... Work still sucks... Home is still great. EL is the best. Tomorrow is Friday. Zippety doo da. update: I lied. I forgot to mention that today was "National Boss Day", so all the ass snorklers had donut parties and greeting cards for the bosses. I veto'd the donut parties. I resisted the card signing frenzy. I am nauseated. I must have not mentioned it because it had been blocked from my memory. I only just recalled this morning's antics because a rump smoocher galloped by my cube looking for hiney to shine with supple lips.
