When I'm sittin' on a toilet in a house that I don't know
Lookin' all around me where'd the toilet paper go
Feelin' real uneasy, feelin' real uncertain
Cause I gotta wipe my butt again with a shower curtain
It's those little things those itty bitty things
It's those little things like that that piss me off
Ah, my favorite tune from the comedic genius Rodney Carrington. "The Little Things" (well, the portion of the song I can post) is exactly how the day has gone today. So I have decided to post the "Little Things" that piss me off. Here we go...
Printers
Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be anything but a printer repairman. The world is in desperate need of such individuals who can make printers work properly. And, with the economy in the crapper it's a guaranteed job.
Automatic Updates
Necessary yes, convenient no. The dreaded yellow shield at the bottom of my wretched PC has been a pain in my butt today. It updates at 10 a.m. (such a great time of the day), and then wants to restart every 20 minutes. I don't have time for a reboot because it takes the laptop 20 minutes just to fire back up. I don't have that kind of time today - or any day for that matter. I think the nerds over at Microsoft should add a button that says "restart when I shut down, you piece of..." You get the point.
Break time
I understand that by law places of business are required to allow 15 minute breaks twice a day, but come on. I know the people taking these 15 minute *wink wink* breaks really don't have time to take them. If they had time to take said break then I wouldn't be writing this blog, as I wait on them, to finish what I needed three weeks ago.
Office insects
Maybe I should bring a can of Raid to my office. There are more crickets, beetles, flies and gnats around than I care to encounter in a day. I don't ask for much - but a fly swatter would be nice.
In a related story...
If I'm NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer, I'm pissed off at the world. The driver of the No. 33 was docked 150 points and fined $150,000 for issues with chassis specifications. Crew chief Shane Wilson and car chief Chad Haney will both enjoy a six week suspension as a parting gift for violating the rules. Huge fine, then again, they were all warned and apparently threw caution to the wind.
Bowyer was victorious in the Chase for the Sprint Cup opener at the New Hampshire International Speedway jumping from 12th place to 2nd place in the points standings. Today's penalty drops Bowyer back down to 12th.
All that work for nothing, now that would piss me off.
