MISTARQUUE CHECK YOUR PEEMAIL!!!111

Electricity
I now have electricity. There is still a bunch of bullshit around it, but I'm tired of explaining it to too many people so I won't do it now. In any case, I have electricity now, and thus air conditioning and internet. I'm still looking into how I can get Reliant to reimburse my hotel costs.

Work
Work is a freaking joke. The team lead is an idiot and an asshole. I've started ignoring his emails because there is really no point and I'm wasting my time in trying to explain everything to him. If he doesn't understand Siebel and he doesn't understand Remedy, there's no way he can understand the process in the middle either. The fact that he can write a select statement against one of the tables doesn't show him to be qualified for anything.

Also about work, we will soon be moving from our nice offices to semi-cubicles in another building. That sucks a tremendous ass, but at least the team lead will be on a different floor than I will be. That should prevent his bad habit of keeping me late on Friday afternoons because he thinks that he's clever for coming up with a bullshit query against wrong tables and comparing to wrong data to show how my process is somehow "wrong." I know what's wrong, and it's between his ears. Fucking Indians.

Period
I normally don't put anything this personal on the site, but the wife is late and we're slightly worried. She already took a home pregnancy test, which came back negative, but she'll take another in a few more days or so. It's about five days late, but we'll see what the cause is and if/when it comes next. This is just about the worst time for us to have kids, so I hope it's not that. I don't think it is, but you never know.

Bush works for al Qaeda
Bush has done more to support al Qaeda than Usama bin Laden himself could have done. The news is reporting that 1) al Qaeda is increasing to record levels in size, and 2) al Qaeda is planning to perform a major attack on the U.S. this summer. How about we go ahead and impeach Bush for his stupid assed war in Iraq? The guy is too stupid to be a traitor, but he definitely fucked America over. I think that people who vote for him probably deserve to have their right to vote revoked as well. I'm not saying that Kerry is good, but at least he's not a redneck version of Ozzy Osbourne. Hell, Kerry can at least eat a pretzel, stand up without falling down, or talk like a normal human being. Bush is a fucking burnout retard. Kerry is a politician, but at least he would limit his fucking over of America to a reasonable degree.

those tests by yankeehack (5.66 / 3) #1 Tue May 25, 2004 at 04:23:20 PM EST
The tests nowadays are usually reliable (read: extremely sensitive to HCG) a few days after the supposed missed period that I'll bet she isn't pregnant, but rather that she miscounted or something silly like that.

The tests today are damn good. She's not pregnant.

The only people to get even with are those that have helped you.

I'm sure she didn't miscount, as she's been tracking it in a notebook at the advice of her gyn. She's apparently got something called polycistic somethingoranother that can affect it. She stopped taking pills back in February or so, so I don't think that is it at this time. She's blaming it on her weight though, unfortunately. She's not fat, but she wants to be skinnier and is pretty down about that, so combined with this she is not happy.

oll.

I am so wrapped up in my own little world that I just can't understand why someone would support Bush.  Maybe they don't know about X, Y or Z... maybe they only watch FOX News... whatever it is I'd really like to know.

The poll was sort of tongue in cheek, but at the same time it's true. I don't see how anyone could support Bush without having something major wrong with them.

Reasons by mrgoat (3.00 / 0) #16 Wed May 26, 2004 at 08:22:48 AM EST
As near as I can tell, the reasons people support Bush, at least the ones I've heard are: The economy is improving. Kerry would raise taxes. Bush has created jobs. Bush is fighting for the middle and lower classes in America. And one guy I talked to said, "Kerry's so stiff. I feel like I could go out and have a beer with Bush."

Now, those reasons may not be accurate, (and one of them seems to profess an ignorance of Bush's DUI record), but they're reasons nonetheless.

Come to think of it, I think I'll find some Bush supporters tonight and ask for an enumerated list of exactly why they support him, and see what kinds of answers I get. It would make a good topic for a diary. Nothing scientific, just anecdotal.

About the team lead by Steve Ballmer (5.50 / 2) #4 Tue May 25, 2004 at 05:28:48 PM EST
Does he just happen to be an Indian national who is employed by your company, or is he here temporarily so he can learn the process and move it to India?



Good question by theboz (5.33 / 3) #9 Wed May 26, 2004 at 01:22:24 AM EST
I think he has his green card, but I'm not sure. It doesn't really matter much to me though, since I'm a contractor and will be gone in a few months anyway. Of course, I said that a few months ago as well and got extended, but I don't care as long as I get a paycheck.

The people in India that work for my client are pretty dense though. I'm looking forward to the outsourcing backlash when companies start going out of business because of how incompetent the people in India are. All the good ones immigrated here and other countries back during the dotcom boom, and only the morons are left.

I heard a Bush speech on the radio yesterday. by hulver (6.00 / 1) #5 Tue May 25, 2004 at 08:01:54 PM EST
He was talking about demolishing the Abu-Garib prison in Iraq.

Great.

Apart from he could pronounce it.

He got to the Abu part, then paused for about 3 seconds while he was trying to work out how to say the rest.

You think he'd at least read it out to himself first.

I disagree by theboz (3.00 / 0) #17 Wed May 26, 2004 at 09:33:13 AM EST
I'm pretty sure that if Bush were not elected, or at least if he had not failed to do his job prior to 9/11, the terrorist attacks would not have happened then. Of course, in any case, Bush seems to inflame everyone, so I don't doubt that with him as president we'd be attacked one way or another. However, I believe that Gore would have kept up at least the same levels of concern as Clinton did, so 9/11 could have been prevented or minimized. At the very least, the reaction would probably have been to actually do something to fight terrorists rather than do a halfhearted job against the Taliban and go whackoff in Iraq.

Terrorists did strike on US soil, during Clinton.  And I don't mean OKC either.

Prior to the first WTC attack, Clinton did not do a good job focusing on terrorists. In his defense though, this was like a month into his presidency, and after that he did do a pretty good job against it. I imagine he would have been a lot more effective had it not been for the hatred that the Republican controlled congress had for him. Newt Gingrich even complained about how Clinton focused too much on Usama bin Laden.

re: Bush, redneck by nathan (6.00 / 1) #21 Thu May 27, 2004 at 03:07:34 AM EST
Bush is a Yankee who affects a redneck persona to make himself more electable. link



Correct by theboz (3.00 / 0) #22 Thu May 27, 2004 at 09:30:27 AM EST
However, being a redneck is a state (or lack thereof) of mind, rather than being from any particular location. I also consider Usama bin Laden to be a redneck.

he's not a real redneck by nathan (3.00 / 0) #23 Thu May 27, 2004 at 11:57:50 AM EST
I'm from a farm deep in western Canadian farm country. My cousins had Confederate-flag stickers on their pickup truck (odd as that might seem,) and everyone for hundreds of miles around grew grain.

Bush wouldn't last very long with that lot because his hands are too soft, he's too accustomed to creature comforts, and he doesn't know what work needs to be done to run a farm (or to pull a shift in a tire factory or a grain elevator, deliver a colt, whatever.) They would tire of him fast if he came to visit for a week. I mean, clothes don't make the man, and it takes more than boots to make you a cowboy. He affects a blue-collar style, but it's as superficial as his understanding of world history. The problem is that he affects the style convincingly. But he's no more a redneck than, say, Noah Wylie is a doctor.

All this said, I find it frankly offensive that you're comparing the likes of Bush and bin Laden to rednecks, who by and large live tough lives and have a hard row to hoe. The guys in Cool Hand Luke are rednecks. Bush is just an asshole. Likewise, bin Laden inherited rather than earned his construction millions, and before he went all Islamist, was like a living caricature of the spoiled, worthless Arab playboy. Some of his followers are genuine Arab rednecks, from the sticks of Yemen, but just as many are city-bred middle-class college-educated malcontents. Likewise with Bush. There's many a Bush voter, even in Texas, whose closest contact with blue-collar life is his builder or the mechanical bull at the bar.

You don't have to be a redneck to have the ambition to remake the world in your image. In fact, the two aren't often found together. Genuine rednecks are usually too busy trying to run their private lives to worry much about some hellhole ten thousand miles away.

Definition of redneck by theboz (3.00 / 0) #24 Fri May 28, 2004 at 12:52:11 AM EST
Your definition of redneck means essentially "country folks" while to me it is a derogatory term to describe racist, xenophobic, ignorant, overly religious, white trash. It doesn't mean someone who works on a farm or is respectable by any stretch of the imagination.

Your definition of redneck means essentially "country folks" while to me it is a derogatory term to describe racist, xenophobic, ignorant, overly religious, white trash.

Why are their necks red in the first place?

If 'redneck' simply means anyone who is racist and xenophobic, does that mean that there are black rednecks and Indonesian rednecks? I don't think there's much evidence of Bush's religious convictions, or of any really unusual ignorance on his part. In all honesty, how many HuSites know the name of the Mexican head of state? How many know what Putin's job title is? How many know who the Prime Minister of Canada is? How many could find Moldova, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica, and Kyrgyzstan on maps? Could, say, P. Diddy or Barbra Streisand answer these questions correctly? Bush is certainly less informed than he ought to be, but I don't think that he's extraordinarily poorly informed.

I'm making a big deal out of this because people tend to conflate your definition of redneck with the country people to which it also refers. I have met bigots in NYC and Denver, but no one would call an NYC-dwelling bigot a 'redneck' unless he was recently arrived from Georgia. I'd really like to make it clear that redneck should not be a term of opprobium, because using it that way is a slap at the non-racist, non-bigoted country people that it implicitly denigrates.

Moldova by nathan (3.00 / 0) #27 Sat May 29, 2004 at 08:51:09 AM EST
Moldavia is the historic northeastern kingdom of Romania, you know, Stefan cel Mare, all that good stuff? Moldova is the official name of the northeastern corner of Moldavia, which was called Bukovina (by Austrians) or Basarabia (by Russians) before the USSR detached it from Romania after WWII. It's across the Pruth river from the rest of the country.

You got the others, right? nudge nudge
