2:43 p.m.

It’s been awhile, I need to catch up on my bitching and whining.

The holiday was awesome. I got some cool stuff, and that 10 days of not working really made yesterday seem like a death sentence.

First, I would like to mention the awesomeness of the Wii. Anndrija and I played at John’s on Christmas Eve Eve while I did my laundry. I think that was one of the highlights of the wiikend. Now, you can’t get a fucking Wii ANYfuckingWHERE. Desperate attempts were made all wiikend, but they were all futile. It has been hypothesized that there is a conspiracy between Nintendo and all the retailers to create a supply shortage so we can all suffer through January until the Wii is re-released, thus increasing sales and revenue for all parties. Despite this shocking display of capitalism and greed, I would still give one of my uteri for a Wii. Because yes, I have one to spare.

Second, it turns out tthat my mother was upset with me partially because she never got the email I sent explaining about my GRE, etc. Let’s hear it for undelivered emails. My personal relationships aren’t quite explosive enough, they need the additional static of malfunctioning technology to put some bigger waves in the ocean, or whatever.

I would also like to bring attention to one of the biggest abominations since the Ford Pinto: The PT Cruiser Convertible. Who is smoking all the crack at Chrysler to think this butt-ugly monstrosity was a good idea? Seriously. It looks like a VW Beetle trying to take a shit. Of course I feel strongly about this because of the dumb twat driving a copper PT Cruiser Convertible that caused an unnecessary slowdown at the Hwy 50 onramp/34^th Street. People are stupid and can’t drive, and I will leave it at that.  In addition, why do manufacturers insist on inundating us with horrible metallic colors? Does anyone really need a COPPER Mustang? Some cars are ugly enough without the shit colors.

Furthermore, I’d like to add that my office has expanded across the hall and everyone has a “temporary” extension until the original extensions are restored. So you can imagine what a clusterfuck that is. And if I hated answering phones before, you can also imagine what an increased pain in the ass it is now, having to check a fucking schematic for these “temporary” extensions just to transfer a call that I could give a shit about in the first place. Not to mention the majestic view of the phone technician’s ass that I have been exposed to for the last 13 business hours, as he lackadaisically attacks the snaggle of phone wires in the closet. On a side note, said phone technician practically tore me out of my headphones yesterday to tell me that he wouldn’t bother me unless he had to. Interrupted my enjoyment of Opie and Anthony. To tell me that he wouldn’t bother me. Unless absolutely necessary. Phone update: SOME of the original extensions have been restored, but we don’t know which ones. So the clusterfuck continues, and now it’s expanded. There is something to be said for order in chaos.
