The Truth Comes Out I found this and other entertaining cartoons over at gapingvoid.  Funny, mainly because it's true.  8:27:45 AM    comment []  trackback []

Griping to Hear Myself Gripe For some reason, this morning I have been just a tiny bit cantankerous--maybe it was my morning drive and the fact that the same pickup cut me off once, and almost cut me off twice until I sped in front of him.  That'll learn him!  MUWAHAHAHA!  Much like Dennis, I need to go off on a few rants.  I left early this morning to avoid the inevitable delays as a result of the morning rain.  Unfortunately, I still ran into the delays, and it took me almost 50 minutes to get to work.  Why can't you people drive in the rain?!?!  It's not hard.  Really, it isn't!  I need some air in my right front tire.  Every damn gas station I have stopped at has had some sort of problem with their air pump.  I stopped at three different gas stations in the last few days, and I was met with either a broken pump or an outrageous price.  I am not poor, but I certainly don't expect to pay to pump some air in my tires.  And what's the deal with charging me for one of the most plentiful resource on the face of the earth that I inhale for free?!?!?!?  It's AIR, and it's all around us.  Why the hell must you charge me for it!?!?! Why is it that everyone is dropping an audio post on the blogs that I read lately (ACDub, Kmart, and Siena)?  Is it just a fad?  I laud your bravery in taking a step away from the anonymity that normally comes with blogging, especially since that is something I would never do.  Next thing I know, these three will have podcasts to go along with their blogs, getting the attention of the press in Wired and Time. Speaking of Kmart, his audio post reported an actual upgrade of the subpar service that Comcrap offers in Baltimore.  He and ACDub get the OnDemand service, and all I get is Comcrap cutting my cable for no apparent reason.  Add to that the fact that for some weird reason, I am no longer able to pay my bill online.  There is no point in my calling customer service, as I would be better served talking to the cinder block walls in my office.  It would be easier to find the Holy Grail than to talk to a knowledgeable customer service representative at Comcrap.  Alright, I am off my soapbox.  8:16:46 AM    comment []  trackback []
