I am so glad it is Friday.

Got to work yesterday morning to find that a vehicle was stolen from an unsecured area the property. Spent most of my day working with PD on the investigation.

Found out this morning that a bike was stolen from our property the day before. From the secured area. Not as much of a big deal as the vehicle, except for the fact that *we* missed it.

Here's the thing: The stolen vehicle belonged to someone who owned a business, and just recently fired one of his employees. This employee was one of the few people who had the "pin" code to get into the truck, and the owner LEAVES THE KEY IN THE TRUCK."

The stolen bike was not locked to anything, and even though it was in the secured area (behind a gate), it's not too difficult to spiderman up the gate and hop down. Doesn't help that the bike was in plain view.

So this week's headaches are caused by stupid people. THIS is why I hate people.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I had a manager up my ass yesterday about why I havent fixed his broken server yet. Reason is my workload consists of many things more important which I stated and he was cool with but he did insist I get it done soon so yesterday after 5pm when I got 96 servers online, I spent the end of my day fixing his server. In the process of busting my ass to do this, I accidentally knocked over my laptop off the cart I placed it on while trying to remove the server from its rack position. Cracked and broke the screen of my macbook pro. Sooo now i am in the office in NYC having our other IT team replace it for me. Besides being embarrased to have broke my work laptop, i am losing half the day at least and wasting my time sitting here without a laptop instead of going back to all those important things i need to work on. Really frustrated with myself.

Think of it as half a day off!



So I thought I lost my wallet 2 weeks ago (I did lose it...  but someone turned it into my bank a few hours later). As soon as I lost it, I let my boss know, who then called and had my company  credit card deactivated. I am now waiting on my replacement card to come in. Meaning I am without a way to spend money on things needed in the office.

I am also fat, and have broken our only 2 office chairs here. In my defense, the person in charge of purchasing them would side on the cheap end of things, and the chairs were already shit. When you factor in the fact that these chairs get sat in 24 hours a day, mostly by my fat ass, you get a situation where the wheels fucking snap off. So I am sitting here, with 204 things going on (currently taking a quick moment to eat my lunch, on a broken chair (no wheels, and the center cylinder actually sits below the legs, so instead of the wheel-less legs resting on the floor, I am forced to balance the center of the chair).

I cannot just go out and by a new chair, as I don't have my company credit card back yet, and since the chairs I have looked at are more than $100, I need to get approval, as my company expenses it back to the client.

 :lol I'd go to that

So what is the deal for ProgStock?  I am thinking I'll come by Saturday but on the fence about buying a single day ticket.  I just might but I feel like there's very little detail on the website for such an all day event.  But is it almost like 5 different shows? Since there are long breaks between sets and different sites for meet and greets.  I am guessing you get in/out privileges? Also, I tried asking them via twitter if you can bring a camera and I did not get a response since the venue says no unless the event allows you.

Regardless, I'd still come meet up with you all before/after a set or something if I don't get a ticket.  It's only 25 minutes from my house but I don't know if you guys are going to be like hanging at the venue or able to leave and chill at a bar or restaurant somewhere?

It feels like a Monday, as I spent all day at work with my Best Friend (who is coming back to work for me), and I hadn't heard a peep out of my boss until this morning.

I just noticed that I passed Kotowboy's post count - only took 15-months of him not posting to do so!   :D  He'd probably be at 50k if he hadn't been banned... though, he does still lurk.  Hi Kotow.  Still miserable?
