More Naming Conventions...

From a customer...

"I talked with Jim Busby earlier today..."

Spelling

It is impossible to spell "convenient" correctly on your first attempt.

Personel Inquiries

Often during the day, people pop into the office, or IM me, asking where someone is. I usually don't mind this, but it can get tiresome. For analytical reasons, I've decided to record these inquiries for the duration of the week:

Monday, 1:30 PM - P&T come in looking for Robbo
Monday, 2:05 PM - B instant messages me "Hey Og, do you know if Rob will be back in today?"
Monday, 2:31 PM - M asks "Where's Robbo at?"
Monday, 3:28 PM - Anon asks "Is this guy ever in?" while pointing at BIG!'s office

Last Wednesday

The 19th will be my last Wednesday until fall. I will begin coming in on Tuesdays starting the the week of April 25th. ALthough I will kiss Wednesdays I am excited for the upcoming Tuesdays. WIth Tuesdays of course comes the potential for the rebirth of the traditional Taco Tuesdays from The Taco Johns on Regent. My standard order will be 4 hardshells with sourcreme and a ole's. I will also require 4 packets of mild and 4 packets of hot sauce.

Injury

I think I hurt my left wrist golfing. Thing is it doesnt hurt when I swing a golf club. Just when Im typing and stuff.

POP vs POS

One's good one's bad. You figure it out.

Wednesday

Im looking forward tobeing in the office tomorrow. A couple of non-B meetings but there should be plenty time for a meeting about the "world", or maybe a meeting about some "trivia"l admin work we need to do, or even possible about growing out own "horse"radish garden.

The biggest concern continues to be lunch. Gummer? Pizza? We could even celebrate the nice weather with tacos.

DONG!!!!!

A DONG!!! signifies a misguided customer alert. I got a big huge DONG today. Somebody tried to do something we expressedly said wouldnt work and then complained when it didnt work.

Rock

The Fridge (Photo)

And here's a photo of the new fridge...

The Fridge

So we have a new fridge. After numerous soda explosions and generally faulty operation, we finally decided to get rid of our old fridge. Robbo took donations and Poles worked the Craigslist angle to get us a great deal.

Last week we moved the new fridge in and unplugged the old one. While it was already a disgusting mess, the past few days haven't been good to it. Today the movers came to get rid of it, and as they carted it down the hallway, the fridge slowly leaked it's smelly water. Now, the entire hallway smells undescribably awful. I overheard some people down the hall talking about it... luckily the B has a one room buffer, so we're safe (I hope).

I'm concerned the hallway does not have sufficient ventilation to remove the smell. It could be with us for days.

UPDATE - the building manager is mopping up the stink! I'll go investigate and see if it remains....

UPDATE - the stink has been reduced, but is still noticeable...

Things that piss me off....

Ok Im at Piggly Wiggly this morning. I have under 12 items. This means I am allowed to go in the 12 items or less line, also known as the EXPRESS line. This line is the FAST line. People who have just a couple htings use this line to pay for their purchase.

So tell me why they put the 102 year old checker who still doesnt know how to use the built-in scale and has to have a conversaiton with each person buying stuff. Look I want to get in and out. Give me the fastest most unfriendly person in the epxress lane. Move'em in and move'em out.

Decoration

I was sitting in a chair that I usually dont sit in today. It doesnt face the TV so it doesnt really get any work. My wife and I (Hi Honey!) were having a general conversation. I looked at this table to the right of me. On it was this metal collandar type thing (like what you use to strain the spaghetti) It was filled with pine cones.

So I have a bowl of pinecones in my house. Im betting that it has been there for well over 3 months and this is the first time Ive noticed it. If you sit on the couch its probably 2 inches from your direct siteline when you watch TV. Im pretty much oblivious to my surroundings.

Ducks

Always remember the ducks.

Best Crazy Captain

Humphrey Bogart in The Caine Mutiny or James Cagney in Mister Roberts?

You Know What I Don't Understand?

People (and by people I mean couples) who share an email address. Like "toddandsue@charter.net". WTF? Can someone explain this to me?

DING!!! (semi)

While I didnt have to deal with actualy J-code, I did have to talk to a J-customer. It was worthy of a DING!
