Actually boring outside of work and busy at work. I did however find out that if I make stats for the next 30 days I would finally be hired on permanently. As my manager advised me \u201cWe\u2019re hiring 20 people, 10 have already been hired. You were not one of them. And I can tell right off the bat it\u2019s because your stats suck!\u201d I was almost shocked simply because, I didn\u2019t expect Scott to actually put anything straight out there like he was doing. It was kewl, though I\u2019d rather have him be straight than blow smoke like so many others here do. Needless to say yesterday was pretty much and \u201cIDGAF\u201d day, and I spent most of it drifting off into daydream land and answering the phone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Today is not really nay different other than the fact that ATT is having router issues, which is prompting everyone to call us, because they can\u2019t get to our website or the mail and news servers. So I\u2019ve spent most of my day giving retarded analogies about who would you call if I-10 were blown up and you were unable to drive to work on it like you\u2019ve done for so many years or months. In the end the response is the same if not very similar, and that would be to find another way around it. And with that final glimpse of light beaming into the dense, dark craniums most have been able to put 2 and 2 together and come up with the realization the problem is not ours and to try another service or from another location. Whereas other are still stubborn and swear by the first born child, that we should be taking responsibility for the issues. I so want to simply conference one of them in with ATT and start bitching at the poor soul on the other end to fix the problem because we said so and anything short of success is an utter failure and therefore unacceptable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>But I won\u2019t, simply because, that\u2019s right today as well as yesterday is an \u201cIDGAF\u201d day. Which is why I haven\u2019t told the dumb ass instructor on the phone whom, I\u2019ve told 5 times already to type his name in a box, hasn\u2019t been advised in a my patent baby voice that he needs to review his Outlook Express tutorial and that he can\u2019t play with other big kids until has had passed his test. No instead I\u2019m letting him babble about his own stupidity until he realizes I\u2019m not paying any attention to what ever the hell he is muttering about in whatever foreign accent he his speaking and only then when silence is golden shall I proceed to grace him with the knowledge of common sense, and guide him to typing his name where the blinking cursor next to \u201cName\u201d lies in wait.<\/p>\n<p>Now the list, oh yes the list of yester years has been dusted off and is making it\u2019s debut in the new millennium.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><u>5 Reasons why YOU should not attend a Online University<\/u><\/h1>\n<p>?1)???? If when told by your computer manufacture to \u201cPut your mouse in the middle of the screen\u201d, you respond with \u201cI can\u2019t it keeps falling off and landing in my lap\u201d, you shouldn\u2019t attend an Online University.<\/p>\n<p>?2)???? If your clocks continuously blink 12:00 after power outages for more than 1 year, you shouldn\u2019t attend an Online University.<\/p>\n<p>?3)???? If you rush home every evening heart racing, pounding against your inside to hear the words \u201cYou\u2019ve got mail\u201d, you shouldn\u2019t attend an Online University.<\/p>\n<p>?4)???? If you turn off every appliance in your home, due to fears of hackers, you shouldn\u2019t attend an Online University.<\/p>\n<p>?5)???? If you have to have your 5 year old daughter pause hr game of The Sims, Living Large\u201d, come in to turn on <u>your<\/u> computer, setup the printer, start your game of solitaire, and then explain what a right click and left click is, you should do 3 things. The 1st is to invest in a laptop for your daughter so she doesn\u2019t have to walk so far to provide tech support for you and can simply play her Sims game on the laptop. The 2<sup>nd<\/sup> is invest in a Speak and Spell for yourself, once you have mastered the art of this challenging hardware software combo, you can gradually move up to items such as Playschool\u2019s \u201cMy First PDA\u201d, the techno advancement includes such things as learning your 123\u2019s and ABC\u2019s. The 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and most important is you should <b>NOT<\/b> attend an online University, since your 5 year old may find the stresses of playing Barbie and working on your graduate degree a little unbearable, since she\u2019ll be doing most of your work for you.<\/p>\n<p>?<\/p>\n<p>?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-114\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/thursday-august-15-2002-at-0809-pm?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-google-plus-1\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-google-114\" class=\"share-google-plus-1 sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/thursday-august-15-2002-at-0809-pm?share=google-plus-1\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Google+\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-114\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/thursday-august-15-2002-at-0809-pm?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/thursday-august-15-2002-at-0809-pm?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-1235658-114-69e07950e1bda' data-src='\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=1235658&amp;post_id=114&amp;origin=djmgyx.net&amp;obj_id=1235658-114-69e07950e1bda' data-name='like-post-frame-1235658-114-69e07950e1bda'><h3 class='sd-title'>Like this:<\/h3><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height:55px'><span class='button'><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading...<\/span><\/div><span class='sd-text-color'><\/span><a class='sd-link-color'><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s no weekend blog this week since there was really nothing to write about.
