I graduated highschool for a reason, and it wasn't to go to college.
Not only are 95% of people who call me idiots, they're also cheap/expect things handed to them. Evidenced by the guy who proceeded to screw up his system, complete with oh my spyware up the wazu, and then demanding pretty much that it be fixed for free. Yeah, that'll happen. People like that fine gentlemen should have one finger removed from each hand, be shot in both knee caps, and have their computer user's license revoked. And if their computer's halfway decent, like the killer XPS this customer had, it should go to me. That would make the world a better place, I think. And one enthusiastic geek very happy.

… and I can go home. I wanna go home. I love my job, I had an easy as hell week, but I wanna go home. Or maybe that's just because since about… oh… 3:00 staying awake has become a real trick. Could be a distinct possibility. Ah well, whatcha gonna do? 46 minutes and I'll know what I'm gonna do. Go home, half crash, forget I have a job for 3 days… oh, the suhweetness. The countdown is on. And now, it's at 45. Yay end of week!

… do I start to develop coldlike symptoms after being at work for 4 or 5 hours or so? Inquiring, and slightly irritated, minds want to know.

And like anyone on any friday, I find myself very, very reluctant to actually go to work. Is that bad? Survey says… signs are hazy, ask again later. Ah well, at least there's an interest there I might be able to catch for another little conversation before my shift starts. I shall leave the rough translation to your imagination–specifics from me you will not get. Deal.

Welp, it's official. After 82 miniutes, Nicole Richie's one free flake. If it were you or me, we'd get nailed with a year. Hell, if it were me, they'd nail me with a year and shoot the idiot who let me drive. The irony is, little missy Hilton spent a grand total of 3 weeks in the exact same place for the exact same thing. It must really, really be all kinds of awesome to have money.

30 runs scored, and not for the home team. Texas 30, Baltimore… a grand total of… drumroll please… 3. Oh. My. Lord. Not since, and I feel shamed to admit it, Toronto lost 22 to 2 15 years ago did we see something like that. And not since the 1800's before that. Or so history's quoting us, at least. Um, ow. I'd feel bad for Baltimore, except–um, they're in the same division as toronto. And anything bad for them has gotta be good for toronto. If I tell myself that often enough, the same might hold true for the Leafs. But we're not talking about them. Not until October 15th. Or sooner if the withdrawal gets to me.

Performance reviews are coming up at work. And the timing rocks. I just checked my mail this afternoon, and apparently, my land lord just got approval to jack up the rent by about 2% by April of next year. For those of you who haven't quite caught on yet, yeah, that all kinds of sucks. I like having money–not giving away money. I'll be keeping an eye on the rental demands over the next bit… something tells me, though, I may be looking for a new hole to crawl into when my lease ends. Stupid land lord. Stupid rent. Stupid money I don't have. Stupid me for not having it. I want a raise.

Because I only have a couple minutes before my shift starts.
And I have managed to make writing this entry last past my having taken my first call. Suhweet. I think.

According to certain forecasts, it's upwards of 33 degrees C outside right now. Which, ordinarily, wouldn't be unexpected. Except it's 6:00 PM for crying out loud. And by the time I get off work tomorrow morning, it's supposed to still feel like 30 degrees out there. And to that, all I can say is… oh. Crap. Take your clothes off and the first 2 layers of skin and tell me if you still feel warm. On the bright side, there's at least a breeze out there. This bit of optimism is dampened slightly, though, by the fact that said breeze is not exactly what I'd call cool. If anyone wants to convert this to that stupid system the US uses, go nuts. Just don't tell me if you do–33 degrees C almost makes me wanna cry as it is. I don't need to hear a higher number.

I'm on a couple scanning related mailing lists–police scanning, for those of you wondering, and as soon as the southern Ontario runaway was spotted near the Renfrew area, both mailing lists I"m on went absolutely nuts. Which is probably an understatement for the amount of radio trafic they were listening to. They eventually arrested the guy when he came out of an unoccupied home in the area. You may see it on the news–and, possibly, you may have seen something about it if you watch America's Most Wanted. He's heading to London to stand trial for 3 murders, apparently. Including the murders of the elderly couple who's truck he stole to get up here. Now you know what you can buy me for Christmas.
here's a clip of the radio trafic that resulted from the arrest last night. Thanks to one of the guys on said scanner lists for providing this clip. People living north of the border, consider this your advanced headline news notification. With the typical James twist–I wish Canada still had the death penalty.
