Well that was an adventure. Took the boat out. Got to the ramp and the wheels were bowed in. The axle was broken. Not sure how long I drove like that. Guess gyroscopic action kept them vertical while driving. So I ran to Home Depot, got some clamps, rebar, and JB Weld and fixed it at the ramp. It was strong, and made it home fine. The fix was fast, too, so I still took the boat out.

Soooo the GM/SM let go a salesperson I-don't-know how long ago, could have been friday, could have been weeks, and neglected to tell me.

Sooo they've just had access to our e-mail, servers, and sales system all this time because, being that I.T. wasn't informed of the termination, we naturally did not revoke any access. Found out about it today when the new salesgirl showed up and asked for access.

We're lucky the terminated salesperson wasn't vindictive. Sheesh.

EMM EYE SEE
KAY EEE WHY
EMM OH YOU ESS EEE

My underling went home with the keys to the station's front door but left it unlocked. So here I sit waiting for her to come back.

I'm sitting at a restaurant, listening to a pretentious twit rant over and over about the evils of American women, how charming the "more subservient" women overseas are, how women are happier in other countries because they know there place in society, etc.

He gripes how women always complain about "equal rights, and crap like that." He talks about how worldly and sophisticated he is... while his mouth is full of food and some falls out onto his lap. He comments how women in Europe overlooked his "poor financial situation", but American women he tries to date get upset about his unemployed status. And the kicker? He looks like a half-boiled dumpling - pale, lumpy, and round. The man was absolute scum. And of course he's the loudest asshole in the restaurant.

I wish his companion would tell him to fuck off already.

I cannot imagine thinking like that. It just does not compute. I don't understand how people ever did. At some point you'd think you'd stop, and say, wait a minute--this is stupid and illogical.

To be fair, that only happens if you take it upon yourself to go out into the world and let a few new ideas filter into your head.

Well, to start with, you have to externalize all of your problems so that you can blame the world around you rather than yourself. Are you repulsive to the opposite sex and people in general? It must be their fault.

Admitting to myself and the world that what issues I have are mostly self-inflicted hasn't helped me get any. :p

Went to a psychiatrist last week to talk about different things, and we've all but confirmed I've got Aspergers. Depression too, but I've known that for years. Supposed to go back this week to talk more, but if it's what I've got at least there's a reason I have so many social issues outside of just being weird.

Allowed my salt intake to fall behind all the sweating that has been going on over the last week of 100f+ temps. Spend the first day back at work, after a week off, fighting a headache and leg cramps. Today has sucked because of it.

So the General Manager Kramers his way through my office door this morning and drops a laptop bag on me. "I need you to look at this."

"Ok," says I, "What am I looking at?"

"I dunno," says he, obviously distracted and twitching from trying to think of 19 things at the same time. "My son borrowed it, and now he says it isn't working right and I'm gonna be gone for the next 2 and a half days soooo..."

"... you need to be able to use it." I finish for him.

Fearing the worst (this is not the first time I've "fixed" something his son has borrowed), I fire it up.

Yep, somebody reinstalled windows 7 on this laptop (other than me), and they installed Professional when the laptop's sticker is only for Home Premium. So the product key won't work for it. Aaaand it's drizzled in viruses.

Another beautiful day in (takes off Operations Director hat, puts on IT hat) Information Technology.

If his son borrowed it and then tried to nuke it, viruses may not be the only thing it's drizzled in.

I'm trying to imagine that. I bet I could find an image for that on google image search. It rarely disappoints.
