Today the office know-it-all/nag/dolt/snitch (yes, this is all one person) was asking me about a monitor which ended up in her work area. It happened to "belong" to me, and I had put it down in that room as temporary storage long before it had become her space. Once she found out it was mine, she started going on and on about what I should have done, and what the proper procedure was to give up a monitor, and having politely withstood enough crap from her before, I interrupted her, and said "Look, stop lecturing me. If you want me to come and move it, just ask me to come and move it." She then (finally!) actually asked for what she wanted, and I said "Fine, I'll be there in a minute," and hung up.

When I got down the hall, and was about to go in and get the monitor, she was all in my face, pointing her finger and wagging her head (in that way that African American women seem to have the unique ability of doing), and saying things about me giving her attitude. I was very calm, and pointed out that I wasn't giving her any attitude, which... somehow made her more upset. Another lady in the office (who doesn't take crap from anyone) got in front of her, repeating "Stop." which led to the first woman repeatedly saying "Get offa me!" I calmly went in and retrieved the monitor and left.

It was all very surreal.

I'm sick of taking crap from her, especially since she knows next to nothing about video production and post-production, yet when educated opinions are required in meetings, she's always the most vocal with her uneducated ones. So, in a way it was kinda nice to have her lash out at me in public like that. Maybe other people will start noticing how nuts she is. :P

Beekeeper Cartoon Amusements: Comix by Jason Little. The "Bee" comic is amazing. I read straight through all the back pages, right up to what is currently a nailbiting cliffhanger (p.61). Read it! NOW!!

The Straight Dope: Why do folks say "Jesus H. Christ"? It stands for "Harold." Really.

The very cool software VideoLAN was made for streaming MPEG over networks, but it turns out It's also rather handy for playback of MPEG video from DVDs and VCDs… which is especially handy if you ever wanted to do an easy screen capture from a DVD.

Own a chunk of the moon!

If you find yourself getting photo tickets throught the mail from your local municipality, you might want to try these fine products. Thank me later.

Strida folding commter bicycle. Very neat. :)

Tired of your beverage spillin in your vehicle when you take those hairpin turns at 140 mph? Then check out BCS- Beverage Containment Systems' Hi-Tech Cup Holders.

Oh god, yes— Dual Shower Head Massage!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is the kind of crap I need to stop bookmarking.

Dual shower heads are pretty cool, though.

Ever wonder what the airline does with your freshly found luggage (after they had lost it for months, and already payed you a settlement, of course)? Try the Unclaimed Baggage Center, where they sell all the junk that you lost at ROCK BOTTOM PRICES!

Okay, well, it sounded cooler when I started. :P

Still some nice stuff for cheap. Rolex! Only fiddy dollah!

Okay, so I'm going to start this thing where I try and just make little remarks about cool new websites I find, right here in my Blog… instead of adding to my bookmarks list that I never really use, but is— I'm sure— thousands of links long. Here goes:

First up is Wherify Wireless, who sells (or will sell, at some point, any day now) GPS tracking bracelets, so you always know where your kid, girlfriend, or granny is at all times. Keen!

Wow, that took me forever to just get it to where it should have been when I wrote it. Maybe I'll just stick with that AppleScript for now. :P

So... I am, once again, trying out a new blog posting software, and it seems as if I were to be able to link to my home page, that would be a very cool thing.

Time to go to work. More la— uhh... "Seeya when I seeya." Yeah. Self-reverse-psychology. Good.

You know, going through here, I notice that every time I say "stay tuned," I don't post again for like a month-and-a-half. I gotta stop saying that.

Well, that certainly wasn't so bad. May even encourage me to post more... who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Anywho...

Now, if I can just figure out how to add links in my text, we'll be all set. In any case, updates on the events of the last two weeks forthcoming. Stay tuned.

(Or... well, really you probably shouldn't stay tuned all the time, or you'll get pretty bored. Maybe tune in one a week or so, depending on your tolerance to me not writing anything. :P)

Testing this whole newfangled Blog poster script. Bear with me.
