  • Gah. Why does #Valve insist on breaking our TF2 servers once a month? #
  • No pot arrests in denver or boulder counties yesterday. Because people were smart? Or cops overlooking pot use? I think the latter. #
  • The only thing I hate about my job is the fact that I work for such an old boy traditional stick in the mud company. #
  • Like so many other people, I wished I work for a dynamic fun tech company, but those are very rare and honestly, they don’t pay well. #
  • So it becomes necessity over desire when it comes to my professional life. Just have to make things work. #
  • Dude sitting in front of me with painted black nails, a hair bandana, and a soul patch. Mish mash of goth, beatnik, and wtf. #
  • Sitting in a retransition meeting for a transition that I ran last year. This corp trans to us, and now they are trans away. Crazy. #
  • Transition meetings are always tooth pulling. At least to me. Everyone wants the big picture, but get mired in details. #
  • Transition meetings would be so much more entertaining with nerf guns on the table. #
  • I wonder if monkeys ran the world if their transition meetings would be as tedious. #
  • Monkeys have chow and poo to fling at their meetings. #
  • Cool thought for a video game: chimps with rocket launchers with poo war heads. #
  • Chimps with poo grenades! #
  • Team Fortress 2 with all the characters as chimps with poo and chow based weaponry would kick ass. #
  • Chimps in war gear with seemingly cobbled together weaponry in a pixar-like visual style (like TF2) would seriously kick ass. #
  • The more I think of Chimp Fortress 2, the more I love it. #
  • Hmmm. Bus driver decides to exit freeway to take overpass bypass to get to bus stop connected to said freeway. Did it work? Marginally. #
  • My phone battery is about dead. Wondering how mush screen time I can get before ot throws up it’s sim card. #
  • Subsidiary wants to abandon existing rock solid infrastructure to move to untested new stuff with diff vendor, same product. Smart? Nope. #
  • A year after transition, I wonder, what was the freaking point? What a waste of time and effort. #
  • Things labeled as the most perfect food: cutie oranges, bananas, cheese sticks, eggs. Doesn’t perfection imply exclusivity? #

Welcome to Spring

Hi.

My name is Spring. I generally come in around any damn time I feel like it. I try not to stick with the equinox or any stupid human calendar, and I try to keep things lively by jumping back out again and letting Winter piss all over you all. Hope you don’t mind. Keeps things fresh.

You know Fresh. As in Spring. (That’s me, mofo.)

I like to keep things hopping (bunny reference), and bright (sunshine reference), but for the most part, I just enjoy making every SINGLE ONE OF YOU MOFOs SNEEZE. That’s where I get off. Allergies.

Stupid humans. Think you control the world. Then I show up, make a few of you sneeze and a six billion dollar drug industry sprouts up to keep you from sneezing. Just wait though, in a couple years, when my Triffids are done, you won’t have any pills big enough to cure those problems.

But, until then, enjoy mowing your lawns and pulling weeds. Because it is, after all, spring. And there is a time to bloom, and a time to die, and a time to make your eyes water. Enjoy it. Because trust me, the triffid thing I mention is going to be worse. Don’t want any spoilers leaking out about that though. So hush, hush.

And in the meantime, try not to trash the place. I am gone for a few months, and your economy tanks. Gosh, thank goodness Mother Nature didn’t work like that or you would find your self in an ice age every 5 years.

Food for thought.

  • Clear your cookies and the browser cache, call your bookie and smoke your stash. Its a mystery if it’ll work, gotta love those proxy quirks! #
  • I am on the young coed express this morning. I think 80% of the bus population is freshman or sophmore college students. #
  • Watched episode of south park last night where the boys sue george lucas and steven spielberg for raping indiana jones. #
  • All I could keep thinking of was star wars. Indiana jones rape doesn’t bother me as badly as what happened with the prequel trilogy. #
  • The information I provide is only as good as requestor’s listening skills, right? #
  • Time to go home and roll +10 love for the sig other. Not happy with me since my saving roll with screaming child failed last night. #
  • Just noticed that other people have their blackberries fonts way too large. Small fonts mean strangers have a harder time reading your mail! #

  • Snow is falling, sleet is forming quick. The kids are cranky, the dogs lanky, and the wife is feeling sick. #
  • Politics is the first natural byproduct of humans interacting with each other on larger scales, otherwise it is just known as bullshit. #
  • Any human system that achieves its sole purpose can only be achieved by promoting a number of seemingly conflicting purposes lower down. #
  • The bus is late, no surprise, perhaps its fate, not wanting to ride. Sit here waiting, anticipating, expecting the turn of the tide. #
  • Tee hee new harry potter trailer fills me with glee. Which is disturbing. Since I am not a teenager. Or prone to glee. #
  • Word of the day: florid.
    Thought of the day: extreme nostalgia is inevitable
    Ghost of the day: clyde #
  • Second word of the day: torpor. #
  • Next big movie: star trek, may 8th. What about wolverine coming the week before you ask? Meh. #

  • 10 years ago about this time, I was sitting in the bed of my truck, smoking a cig outside my work. Shots fired at columbine, sit. unknown. #
  • Ktcl played nothing but sad melancholy songs that day. I remember hearing aida by sarah mclachlan about a dozen times. #
  • Appropriately shitty weather today. Gray skies go well with gray memories. #
  • Diggbar sucks balls. Frames suck. They always have, and surprise digg, they always will. #
  • I to the T is it, sysadmins give a shit, bout your probs, your broken fobs, and your weakass website hits. #
  • The function is lyrical, the dataset empirical, the routines are all standing by, so why, oh why, is the result so beyond hysterical? #
  • #Jerkism number 1: pretending to hold the elevator while pressing the door close button. I saw this happen today! #
  • #Jerkism number 2: pretending you meant to hit the door open button when you finally remember someone is standing behind you. #
  • #Jerkism 3: coughing uncontrollably to keep a busy elevator to yourself. #
  • #Jerkism 4: not double flushing when you single handedly kill the poor toilet. Gross. #
  • #Jerkism 5: forgetting a meeting and claiming you had another “emergency” meeting or “something” else came up. #
  • #Jerkism 6: putting ketchup on a brat. Wtf is wrong with some people?!? Might as well eat a hotdog, dumbass. #
  • #Jerkism 7: people whe get annoyed by the way other people choose to eat their food. Jerks. #
  • #Jerkism 8: people who email chain emails. Mom stop it! You will not get a nickel from MS for every forward. #
  • #Jerkism 9: standing at the milk/sugar counter island at starbucks, preparing your magical recipe and blocking everyone else. #
  • #Jerkism 10: insisting to talk about polotics at family functions. Gah! #
  • Ultimate #jerkism: arguing on the internet. I reference penny arcade’s greater internet fuckwad theory in such cases. #
  • #survivor on tonight. Be more entertaining with bamboo swords and random midnight raids by barbarian hordes. #

  • RT @jessyecasale “I think the contestants on Biggest Loser lose so much weight ’cause they cry so much” QFT! Amen. #
  • Cause and effect rules my life. I wonder how one can escape correlation and causation. Because they are not always related you know. #
  • Server has the downs, and I’m making my rounds. The patient is apoplectic, the situation is hectic, nothing to be found? Gotta touch ground. #
  • Runnin Scared #badnamesformonstertrucks #
  • Probably already done: “Wife beater” #badnamesformonstertrucks #
  • Tentacle Monster #badnamesformonstertrucks #
  • Sitting in the dentist office. Little statuette above recp desk of dentist painfully extracting tooth from patient. Meant to be funny? Um. #
  • And why are dr and dentist offices always playing the shittest lite rock pop they can find? Like I want to hear bad 80s singles. #
  • #birthdaywish Number 1 (my bday was this past weekend): Get @chicagoburdman a damn shrubbery so he calms down! #
  • #greenpeace has been trolling downtown for months and months looking for signatures. I hate having to avoid the high fives and salutations. #
  • #greenpeace why do you make me feel like clubbing seals? I just want to make my transit without having to fake smile my way to the stop. #
  • And seriously, why can’t I get from the station to my office without being accosted by someone trying to get a signature or a handout? #
  • #transitfail – new tag for the newly accosted #
  • RT #AmberAlert DENVER Comic creator’s 14 year old niece is missing: ALTERNATE WEBSITE MIRROR http://tinyurl.com/c3fxqt #
  • Amber alerts hit a whole new level of scary when you have a daughter of your own. #

  • #amazonfail, yeah that was a *very* ham fisted move. Almost governmental in its EPIC FAIL. #
  • I would like to know how I live in such a techie city, but bandwidth sucks. Bandwidth should be almost free with all the dark fiber about. #
  • Arguing with my boss is like arguing with a badger. It can be done, but you & the badger are never going to see eye to eye. He has claws. #
  • Anyone else inevitably called while sitting in the bathroom? Wtf. #
  • I guess it is even worse when one is tweeting while on a phone call while in the bathroom. Double wtf. #
  • Gen y versus gen x for the power of gen z in the hellish world of a 3d scatterplot! #
  • Oddness of the day: while using twitterberry, bold alerts me I have message. Exit twitterberry, no messages to be found, anywhere. #
  • Clouds threatening rain. Nothing will fall. Clouds will pussy out. #

Dear you

You know who you are.

Yeah you. The one that I spent a shitload of time on planning and working on making a cohesive plan for. The one that ignored my plan and claimed that they are uninformed about said plan. The one that gives me the stiff arm whenever I try to explain and be collaborative. Then gives me shit about not being collaborative.

You know who you are.

Someday I am going to cover entire office in green jello. Shitloads of green jello.
