Work.
Dating.
DVDs.
Stuff.


Work was meh today.  I went in with high hopes, that since I had a list of things that need done, in sort of a most important to least important order, I could accomplish something.  So I went for the easiest thing on the list to get that first thing accomplished and take that as ammunition for the rest of the day.  Start on a high note ya know?  And it was a simple task.  There is a section of the web site that has a link.  It currently does not have an underline, and well it makes sense to put one there on hover.  I know how to do this in my sleep.  I opened up the CSS file and made the change. I refreshed the page.  Nothing.  I cleared the cache, refresh.  Nothing. Still plain white.  I double check that I uploaded the file.  Yep, the change is there.  I refresh again.  Still no change.  So I change ALL "a" links just to be sure I was using the correct CSS file.  Every other link BUT the one I was working on then had an underline on hover.  What. The. Fuck.  Content Management Frameworks all need to die.

There is no dating. Which is entirely all my fault.  No, 90% my fault.  Well no, since I made the brain dead decision to move to this area.  And to think, when I made the turn at the first intersection off the turnpike I thought 'Wow, this is a populated area.' I was wrong.  Meh.  I've started to put out the job search feelers.  I had one nibble.  I probably mentioned this already. This weekend I'll saturate the market as it were.  Things are never going to change at work, so I'll never make more than 4% than the last year.  One of the reasons I'm single is that I'm too cheap to drive to ABE to meet women.  Gas is $3.19 a gallon and my apartment has electric heat, blah blah.  So discretionary income is very very low.  I save what I can.  I spend thriftily.  I splurge once in a blue moon.  Dating/Going out has never been factored into that.  This is not healthy, I know this.  I have no friends.  Coworkers are okay for small chit chat, but I have a thin skin when it comes to certain comments.  Besides its hard for me to be outgoing.  Every thing it seems has conspired against me, at least regarding dating.  The worst thing I could have ever done was graduate from college.  I was not a stud or anything, but there were opportunities all the time.  I guess a partial solution is to move to a college town.

I'm intrigued by this redbox kiosk thing I see around.  A dollar a day, After 25 days you can keep the DVD ( I wouldn't, Walmart is cheaper ).  Ease of use.  Cheaper than Netflix and since I like to watch a movie when I am in the mood for one, it makes even more sense.  The local kiosk is in a store that is open 24 hours. Instant gratification.  I may try it this weekend.

Odd.  The ice cream in my freezer is soft.  Yet the turkey burgers are as hard as a rock.

Anyway.  Have a good one.

redbox is great. by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Jan 10, 2008 at 11:59:52 PM EST
Except when everybody starts using it. Waiting in line just to return your DVD for people who don't know what they want to rent is annoying.

During the holidays, the big titles were all out. It took me three attempts to get Mr. Bean's holiday.

Movies for $1 are swell.

We used to use it pretty often. Redbox's $1 movies are AWESOME!

Irony: ammo says it's time. Tom is blocked.

I made the brain dead decision to move to this area.

Yeah, always a good idea to visit a city before you move there.  Usually your face-to-face interview is a good time for some scouting.

Things are never going to change at work, so I'll never make more than 4% than the last year.

Some of us don't even get that.

Not saying your employer doesn't suck, just that some other employers suck more.
