WHAT!?!

I often find myself wishing I had a button that would force the caller to pick up the phone. happy Wednesday everyone. Only two more days until the weekend. Woop!

Don't mess with I.T.

I took his powerpoint, embedded it into a word document, then pasted that word doc into a excel spreadsheet, then I compressed the excel sheet, winrar'ed the compressed file, winzipped it and then sent it to a linux server where I changed the winzipped file into a .tar extension. Once that was done, I took a screenshot of the .tar file, and emailed that using AOL and a 5kb modem.

Take that!

Never Do Drugs at Work

I think we should move all holidays that usually require a day off equidistant from each other. All of them should branch out from Christmas. this way there is never the lull from christmas day
45.2 days in between holidays. so if we get a day off for christmas, that makes roughly february 15th for another day off. Then April 1st, then May 15th, then July 1st, August 15th, then October 1st, November 15th, then christmas again.

I know that this has nothing to do with the above comic, but really did you want to read about my views on male enhancement?

Who Moved My Cheese Then Killed a Co-Worker

I just love the classics. that poor guy from Battlestar Galactica. I forget his name, Isaac? maybe. Anyhow, I figured this would be a good way to showcase how new managers can easily move into their roles, with little if any interference. Maybe I will write a book on how to handle company changes like evisceration.

Meh Fridays

Sometimes it just seems like even though stuff is happening all around and you are running all over, that the day is kinda dragging.  Ninjas, killer slices of cake, zombies with chainsaws tied to them, sharks with lasers, batmen, all these can still be tossed in favor of a depressing grey afternoon of the soul.

On the lighter side, I am getting a better feel for the characters in my comic. drawing them has become far easier in the past couple of weeks. The artwork might not be a lot more, but it is enough for me to enjoy looking at it. I have also held out for a "less is more" aesthetic regarding the backgrounds. I need to get the actual text figured out, but I will work on that over this weekend. I am still wondering if using text worked better in PS than in elements or Painter essentials (which by the way I am getting very sick of)

Holiday Parties

A little bit of this and that

After whining online about no coffee in our office today, I was suprised by a co-worker handing out VIA packets. This is not a commercial for starbucks in any way. I am just going to say that, DAMN did I ever need that. I haven't slept well all week long, and it has showed this morning. No I have a delicious cup of joe in my hands, and I am very pleased. I also tried some of those x-massy flavored ( I am linking this, because everyone should try it) creamers from the store. I have Egg Nog creamer. It is also very nice. No way will I finish it before dec though. Very sweet.

I also noticed that my habit of post-it noting everything that I come across has nearly controled my workspace in the office. This needs to stop, and soon! Today begins a new day for Raleigh! Today will be the day I clean up my desk!

In the upper left you may notice my presription bottle. Fear not! Its only for my stomach. Years of eating insidiously spicy foods has taken its toll. (I know TMI)
