Journal Journal: My rant (since it's the new popular thing) 6

Do your fucking job. It's the same job you've had for 3 years. You know what you have to do when you come to work. There's no fucking reason you should be surprised that you have a task to do that you don't particularly like. We have 3 main components to our job: Hardware assembly, server & application loading, troubleshooting.
It's that simple.
You get paid $75,000/year to do it. Thats right $75,000/year to do what's mostly 60% level one tech stuff.
It's not very difficult and you have a relaxed work environment.
Maybe IT is not your thing. That's no big sin. Get out! Let someone else in that enjoys it.
I've helped you troubleshoot the same types of problems for the past 3 years. It's about time to take some initiative and do it on your own.
Take a goddamned interest in your assumed profession and you might be able to solve some of these things on you own.
I'm not getting paid to constantly bail you out.
If you need to confer on a procedural issue fine. But don't try to get me to do your work.

I don't care that your mid 40's aren't going very well for you.
I don't care that your son is a pussy and your daughter is a slut.
I don't care that your marriage is falling apart because you husband hates you.
Big tits and a smile will only get you so far in life before you have to start putting out. Get on your knees a few times a week and I might be able to put up with your shit a little longer. But you better be damn good at it.

I don't have to listen to any woman's problems unless I'm fucking her.
If I'm not fucking you, don't rag on me.
If I'm not fucking you, I don't want to talk about anything of a personal nature.
If I'm not fucking you, I don't have to listen to you unless there's a business reason.
I get enough of that nonsense at home. But I get the fucking to ease the pain.

In front line combat and in support roles, a lot of fine folks have given up a part of their lives so you can sit on your can in relative peace and watch Reality shows.
To all of them and to all of you poor dumb bastards who have served and are serving at this moment.
Thanks.

edit. Made some corrections when i got home and realized i got some of the old birds mixed up.

First Person Shooters (Games)

Journal Journal: 5-11? I think I was being optimistic.

I didn't get to watch the game. But from the Play by Play it doesn't look like there were many problems. Just a failure to get into the endzone.

Must take the good times with the bad I suppose.
Ironically i'm a lifelong Cubs Fan.

More on that later this evening...

Sci-Fi

Journal Journal: The Worst 10

Yep Science Fiction.
Raiders have entered a time warp and became the team they were 5 years ago. Pre-gruden.

they will be lucky to go 8-8 this year.

Please bookmark this journal for reference at the end of the season.

Journal Journal: Dear Lord, Smite these fools. 4

The court vs the 10 commandments stone is/has the dumbest thing i've seen in the news in a while.
These fools bowing down before the thing praying smells more like Idolatry than anything.

While the words may be significant they aren't destroying them by removing the stone.

Fundie Fools are making the rest of us look bad.

Journal Journal: Smoked my own meat 5

Although it is the holy grail of self love among males, Get your mind out of the gutter.

Today i smoked pork ribs of such splendor that I don't know if i'll ever be able to top it.
I have my dry rub pretty much perfected.
But I think I'm ready to graduate from my brinkman to a bigger smoker.

Any other smokers out there with any thoughts?

Journal Journal: Thanks Asshat! 6

Ooh look a spiffy new check for $1200.
Hrmm this is a advance on the child tax credit for this years taxes.
Wait a minute, I figured my withholding and estimated payments back in february figuring the tax credit as part of my over all figure.
Well I just need to turn around and send it back on April 15th. I guess the interest earned will cover the amount of postage.

So remember kids if your in a sitation like mine don't blow the "windfall." It may come around to bite you in about 6 months.

I just realized that this could cause an underpayment penalty in the right circumstances. So I guess I need to recalculate everything before quarterlies are due next month. sheesh.

Whomever gave the president the bright idea for this: Thanks for wasting my time.

Spam

Journal Journal: Spam Filtering 7

Anyone have any good lists or can point to list that can be a good starting point for a spam filter.
I have to write a bunch of rules for a filter and am too lazy to start from scratch.

Hey at least I'm being honest.

Anyway I see a lot of examples but haven't actually seen a list of blocked hosts, etc...
Something like the supertrick hosts files for blocking popups
Actually I think i'm just looking for a good word list.
