Continuing in the vein of the Daily Rant…

First off, thanks to everyone who jumped me on yesterday’s rant. It was wonderful because I got hit with fact and reason and there was no name calling. It was highly appreciated…

Granted… idiot me for not expecting lapig93 to make the first jump. Remember folks his UID is literal 😉 I still may throw comments on that thread or continue other issues along that thread but for today.. here’s something new…

Saying Goodbye online, I’ve done this; you’ve done this…

The daily rant: What’s in your trunk…

Welcome to the Police State of America:

I’ve decided (when the mood takes me) to make my statement about issues as I see them. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m right or have all the facts. In fact, I encourage people to correct me when I get something wrong. I do not encourage people to call me names because they don’t like what I have to say.

That now out of the way…

I am happy that my LDR is no longer an LDR but an NDR. Translation: Long Distance Relationship, No Distance Relationship. Now, yes, there are all the happy, skippy reasons of being able to wake up next to the person and not worry when one or the other of us is going to have our vacation come to an end.

But it’s part of that ending of the vacation bit that bugs me. On the last time I took my S.O. to the airport for her to fly home I got the absolute subjection of where this country lives now. And in truth, it really pisses me off…

free prose by Andrei-

My team wants to hit a software milestone in the next week. I have been invited to spend the holiday weekend (including Monday) in my office running QA tests.

Note: I am a developer and am running QA tests over the weekend because they laid off some of our QA last year not thinking we might in fact… need them.

It’s more bothersome than that because the rest of the developers from an adjacent team that has already hit their milestone, sit around playing online Risk with other members of my team.

Did I mention that they turn off the air conditioning on the weekend and holidays?

Anyone wanna trump that?
