Is my name fucking Bill Murray?
29Apr08Attention Road Ragers
28Jan08When I flick you off for being a dick in traffic, the correct thing to do is continue along your merry way. Don’t stop in the middle of the road and start to get out of your car. And when I go around you, do not proceed to follow me to my office. These are […]
Thin Skinned
11Jan08Along with my early morning rant I sent a two-sentence e-mail to HR:
Could you guys PLEASE put a prominent link to [benefits-site] somewhere on the staff site? I lost a ton of vacation time last year and I blame the fact that I can never find that stupid URL to check my TOP balance.

Vacation Caps Suck
10Jan08My company’s paid time-off plan is pretty generous (for the US, at least). The accrual method was pretty foreign to me but those 6.5 hours per semi-monthly paycheck add up to 19.5 days per year, plus two “floating” holidays.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
I’m not sure where to […]
Excel Sucks
22Dec07What did I ask Excel to do? Cut. Fucking Cut. It’s Two-Thousand-and-Goddamned-Seven, and Excel has trouble with Cut.
iPhone Annoyances #12
01Oct07Why doesn’t every iPhone app support rotation? It sure would be nice to be able to use the keyboard in landscape mode for Mail, SMS, Notes, and anywhere else that I have to type. I’ll grant that the on-screen keyboard isn’t as awful as I expected, but I do much better with it in landscape […]
