BB and myself took it upon ourselves to fill our staff meeting to the brim with stupidity.  Not difficult to do.  Just ask the boss questions about his favorite project, and stand back.

If Zippy hadn't been taking two to three hour lunches every day for the last three weeks, we may have had mercy on his soul.  Probably not, but you know, that doesn't help his case any.

Also, we turned in offender number one in the network war to the HR department yesterday.  The guy who remotes into his desktop at home to do all the things we forbid doing via the work network during work hours.  Streaming, surfing for hours at a time, blah, blah, blah.  The boss thought it was cute and funny.  Once we blocked outgoing RDP requests and he changed the port on his home system, we failed to see the humor.  HR was not amused at all.

Strike one.

We also blocked access to the verizon sites that allow picture and text messages to be passed via email to a cellphone because someone upstairs seems to have a problem spending their day contacting their friends that way.

Strike two.

We'll get our network back under control, or go out in a blaze of dumbassery trying.

So, a certain cartoon arrived on DVD for the first time yesterday.  I went to pick up my copy and standing around the kids DVDs was a group of guys my own age, all with their arms crossed, all just staring at the DVD I was there to pick up.  Apparently none of them wanted to be the first to grab it in front of the other.  They were there the entire time I made my way down the aisle to get there.  I walk up, grab my copy, walk away.

When I reached the register, I turn to see the entire group right behind me, each with their own copy in their hand.

I'm a fucking trend setter.  Mostly because I don't give a shit whether people see me buying kids cartoons because, well, cartoons are awesome yo.  Also, other people never much impressed me, so I gave up approximately three years into my own life on trying to impress them.  I do what I do 'cause I do it.  Problems?  Sort them out amongst yourselves.

You know what sucks?  When you figure out a really kick-ass way to scare your SO and they turn it around on you.  Mrs. NFB likes to be scared.  So, I find ways to scare her from time to time.

This one backfired.  And that sucked.  A lot.

No, I won't share details.  Suffice to say she won this time.  She won't next.

DONE.  Outz.
