Tomorrow is Tuesday. But will feel Monday.

I had essentially this conversation with a sort of high level guy at my work today. Part by voicemail, part by email, but if it were an actual conversation I’m sure it would have gone exactly like this. For purposes of this posting, we’ll call him “Lumberg”
Lumberg: “I need this done for Start Of Business tomorrow.”
Me: “You mean Monday.”
Lumberg: “No tomorrow.”
Me: “Well, it’s Saturday 3p making tomorrow Sunday, so you must mean Monday not tomorrow because today is Saturday and there is no ‘Start Of Business’ on Sunday.”
Guy: “No, no – me and some of the higher ups of the company are meeting with the customer tomorrow.”
Me: “On Sunday?”
Lumberg: “On Sunday.”
Me: “….?”
Lumberg: “Yeah we’re gonna need you to work on Saturday… Yeaaah…. And about the cover sheets on your TPS reports…”
Me: “….!?!?!?!”
Lumberg: “Yeaaaaaah…”
Squirrels in the Garage
Posted by: Taz McNasty in bow on April 14th, 2009
So I have a family of squirrels that have taken up residence in my garage for as long as I’ve lived here. They have several points of entrance to the soffits of the garage some of which I’ve plugged up. I’ve even taken down the soffits and cleaned them out with bleach hoping to deter them from coming back. I’ve allowed my neighbor to have build a BBQ pit strategically placed so that the smoke would seep into the garage and encourage them to leave.
Now looking out my window, it appears that the FUCKING SQUIRRELS have chewed away part of the roof shingles to make their own entrance near one of the spots that I had plugged up on them years ago.
I’m going to go RamBOW on their tiny little asses real soon.
Computer Monitor
Posted by: Taz McNasty in bow on April 14th, 2009
You know how when you re-dock a laptop it never picks up the monitor resolution correctly and you have to reboot it to get it back correctly. Well the same thing happens when you have a KVM switch and you boot the computer with the switch set to the other computer.
So yesterday I did this accidentally and I then accidentally set the resolution back to some resolution that my monitor doesn’t support. And now it doesn’t display at all.
Today for some reason it’s also not working on my other computer. At all. For no reason what so ever.

Work Bow
Posted by: Taz McNasty in really bow on April 9th, 2009
Last night I got a call around 7:00 pm to dial into a conf call about an urgent issue. So I did. I ended up working until about 8:30 on it.
Then around 10:30, I saw on my phone that i had missed calls since 10:00 about dailing in again about another related issue. So again reluctantly I called in. They asked for changes to the work I had done. No one was talking timeline so I specifically asked. They wanted it developed, tested, and in production for 8am this morning. BOW.
So I did the development. But because this was so last minute, all the people who normally do the migrations from the dev to test environments weren’t around. Cause they’re sane people and were sleeping at 1:00 am when I completed the work.
So now it’s past 8am, it’s stuck in dev and I haven’t even heard anything back from management about the effect of this not being in or how critical it is to our customer or any crap like that.
Fuck You Project Bob Evans. Fuck You.
I need a new job. Bow.
And BOW the economy.
Breakfast Meat Face Off
Posted by: Taz McNasty in not bow on April 9th, 2009
After weeks of polling, it is a tie between two meats. Pork Roll and Sausage.
Personally, I’m a bit shocked that Bacon didn’t make the cut, but fair is fair.
So now in a no holds bar face off to the death, you must choose.
Loading ...Dogfish required to remove calorie content from website
Posted by: Taz McNasty in kinda bow on March 25th, 2009
Just saw this @dogfishbeer
Just got letter from the Feds… they say we have to take all our calorie content info off our site!
Apparently if we have calories, then we need to have a bunch of other info. There is NO logic… I think we need a bailout to get it done
Ear Popping
Posted by: Taz McNasty in bow on March 23rd, 2009
Having a head cold congestion and flying 2 flights in the same day, the second of which hurts like hell as your ears get all pressurized and finally pop at like 50k feet, only then to have them get re-pressurized on the descent hurting like hell and then never popping again.
I landed like 18 hours ago and my right ear still hasn’t popped.
BOW.
