I may not be consistent but I am forgetful.

My faithful following (Laura) has encouraged me to put something on my blog. Let's see. What could I write about that hasn't already been done? I would do Sarah Palin (not that way) but that would be like shooting moose in a wildlife preserve. Is it a preserve or a reserve? If it's a pre-serve, you would think that it would have to come before something else. If it's a re-serve then it should be something that it done over and over. I'm at a loss.

Joe Biden is every bit as interesting as Joe Lieberman so I think I'll leave him alone as well. By the way guys, good job on busting the stereotype that men named Joe are dull.

My company (it's not really my company, I'm more like their employee) had our annual auction of worthless crap that isn't good enough for us to use anymore. I'm always amazed at what people will pay good money for. I mean, how much would you pay for a pallet full of broken computer monitors that you knew without a shadow of a doubt had sat out in the rain for the last month? I'm no electrical genius (or any other kind) but I seem to recall that water is bad for most electrical components. That's why you shouldn't swim with your cellphone.

Yes I do work for an electric company (thanks for asking) but they don't let me get near the electricity. I do however keep a hard hat in my office just in case somebody over at the plant needs someone to come over and plug their printer back in.

That's one of the weird things about being a computer programmer (technically, (snort) I'm a "Senior Systems Analyst"), everyone expects you to be able to solve any problem that is even remotely related to their computer. Just as you wouldn't go to a podiatrist and say, "I had a bird that died 7 years ago. What do you think it was?", you really shouldn't ask a guy that does database programming all day what the best way to get the porn off your computer is. I can drive too. Don't let me near your intake manifold. It will not end well for either of us.

The great thing about this blog is that the number of entries per year really fits into my schedule, no extra effort is required on my part to keep up. I appreciate you letting me feel accomplished at something.
