Why I don’t go by ‘Jim’.
My father and I both have the same name. So to make it less of a headache on both of us, he goes by Jim, and I go by James. And where the legal, given name is required, one of us will usually stick our middle initial in there as … Read the rest

Oh. My. Lord.
I don’t know whether to be extatic or frightened. So I’m a little of both instead. There was, at one point this afternoon, 63 people available to take calls. Even now, less than 5 minutes later, there still sits 54 available. If I’m lucky, I’ll take *maybe* one call before … Read the rest

‘Crunch’? My parking lot does not ‘crunch’.
At least, it sure didn’t yesterday. But apparently, someone thought they’d be funny and dump a whole crapload of white stuff on it this morning. And in my half-asleep-ness as I usually am, the fact that it was late November didn’t immediately register–so I was, understandably, a tiny bit confused … Read the rest

My coworkers are evil!
A direct conversation in an employee only chatroom not 5 minutes ago. Evil Coworker: it’s snowing, folks Me: bite your tongue. i gotta walk in that. 😛 Evil Coworker: join the club Snow. *Before* I have time to go home and sleep. Wicked evil cruel. People like that should be … Read the rest

So this morning. Hella freezing. Why?
That pretty much summarizes it. Yesterday, it was bordering on springlike weather. At least to the point where I thought about taking 5 minutes before the bus came and throwing my jacket back inside. This morning? Freaking, cold. I walk out my back door and across the parking lot to … Read the rest

You know what they say about rules…
A 23-year-old college student who got told she couldn’t wear a revealing outfit aboard Southwest Airlines sure knows. She went and put even less on Playboy. Just goes to prove, tell someone they can’t, and they’ll just make it worse. Anyone who told these people negative reinforcement works should probably … Read the rest

Would *you* pay to tube?
Techdirt saves me from being completely and totally bored out of my frickin frackin mind! Talk of the prospect of paying for YouTube content has, quite possibly again, made its presence known. And to this, I can only say… um, why? If it’s on YouTube, it’s because people don’t *want* … Read the rest

Schedule my lunch at 10:30, will you? I’ll show you…
Ha. Got this call at 10:25 or so, and have so far managed to streetch it out to 11:00. Hopefully we can hit closer to 11:30… y’know, the actual lunch hour. And then I’ll only have 3.5 hours left of my shift. Suh. Weet. Who says I don’t know what … Read the rest

Maybe I live on the wrong side of the border to understand, but…
Is it really worth giving someone a detension and getting their parents involved just for hugging someone goodbye? I know it’s been a while since I was in highschool, but so far as I know that was still acceptible. Yes? No? Maybe so? Does someone living in the US want … Read the rest

When I bought it, it was warm.
Of course, I bought my coffee at 6:30 this morning. And I ended up not finishing the thing until 10:15, when I could actually get off the phone long enough. I’ve taken a grand total of 2 calls so far, and one of those ruined a perfectly good cup of … Read the rest
