  • I’m just about to head to bed, but figured I’d take care of any site maintenance that might need attention, like moderating comments and such. I just deleted an avalanche of spam from my inbox. I think I’ll have to disable the comment form. It’s generating too much junk, and as far as I know,…

  • I’ve searched through the Freedomscientific technical support bulletins, and there’s no info for my current problem. This is infuriating.

  • I have a post that’s appearing on the front page at least seven times. It seems as though the email went out several times. But every time I try to delete the duplicates, Jaws locks up, and I have to restart the system. Hopefully I can get this sorted.

  • I talked to Ray earlier this evening, and he told me that he had asked the advice of an acquaintance of ours more knowledgeable in the law than either of us. Basically, it comes down to this. As long as the company pays me, and doesn’t say anything derogatory, then they can dally as much…

  • I just looked at my paycheck. $589.74 isn’t bad. I’ll pay all my bills, and maybe have a little left over to put in the Paypal account. I’m saving up to take a trip as soon as I can. I’ve managed to get through today with very little sleepiness. I don’t know if that’s good…

  • Triage just got a call from an agent, asking for clarification of what classifies as stolen meds. The agent had a member on the phone who said she lives on a house boat in Illinois, and that a Mermaid or fish got on the boat, and stole her meds. John dialed in to listen to…

  • I just got done reading a post on Jewlicious about attempts within the Orthodox community to deal with the issue of premarital sex. The post has 681 comments at this point. It literally took me all afternoon to read through everything. Jesus. I emailed UM (who I’ve taken to referring to as Mr. Frodo due…

  • There’s a posting for an administrative assistant that just went up today. I’m definitely applying. I hope I get it. I’d like to put an end to this unproductivity.

  • Since it’s been nice here today, and it’s supposed to be even nicer tomorrow, I decided to open my windows. I stood at the front one, trying to open it with all my might, but it wouldn’t budge. I thought maybe it was stuck, and kept at it. Then it hit me. It was locked.…

  • I’m sitting here trying to load my email, and for some reason it doesn’t seem to want to load. It just keeps sticking. I’m going to have a real problem if I can’t get this to work.

  • Today the company provided cupcakes and balloons for those of us with birthdays in January. I ate the cupcake, which wasn’t half bad, and they asked me what color balloon I wanted. A blue balloon is now flying over my desk. I really wish I had a marker. I’d love to write something witty on…

  • While still reading through the latest posting of Haveil Havalim, I found this little gem. I’m not sure if I should link it or not. Do I provide humor for you all, while giving this idiot more attention, or do we just try to sweep him under the rug and hope he’ll give up. Let’s…

  • I got to work this morning, and John called me down to his desk, and gave me the birthday card he forgot to bring yesterday. I opened the card, and saw that it’s the same one my Grandma sent me. Now, since the variety of Braille cards is quite limited, this sort of thing is…

  • That’s right folks. I haven’t even been here one hour, and they’ve already presented the earth-shaking, momentous piece of information I’ve been waiting for. And that new piece of information is … A new DB_interface ID. Yes, that’s going to fix all the problems. I can feel my blood pressure rising. John’s supposed to come…

  • No, it’s not some mystical number comparable to forty-two, it’s just my age as of today. I’ve adopted the custom of saying the particular chapter of Tehillim (Psalms) corresponding to one’s age, so that will change today. Instead of reciting Tehillim 26, I’ll recite Tehillim 27. It reads as follows: 1. Of David. The Lord…

  • Originally published at customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I’ve gotten the post via email function to work. The LJ crossposter doesn’t allow for backdated posts though, and that’s going to create a problem if I forward anything other than something posted later than the last post. Hmm.

  • Originally published at customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. Partisanship is finally starting to eat at one of our most cherished technologies, in fact the technology that supports a lot of others: The internet.

  • Originally published at customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. It’s time, once again, for the open trackback post, where you get to shamelessly promote yourselves and your work at my expense. Just trackback this post, (see the trackback URL at the end and copy shortcut to paste it to your clipboard), and your links…

  • Originally published at customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. John says there’s some info on the way concerning the DB-Interface, although he doesn’t know what the info is, and we won’t find out until Monday. I’m wondering if there’s a declaration of accessibility in store. Maybe, they actually are working on it. That’s what…

  • Originally published at customerservant.com. You can comment here or there. I managed to fall asleep at work today, which apparently is a no-no. UM saw me nodding off, and John came to my desk and said I probably shouldn’t nod off, and said that if I need to stay awake, I can get up and…
