Work kinda sucks I think

So they opened 26 new reqs at the Lexington site. That's right. Twenty six. There's gonna be 26 new suckers working in Lexington, MA in a couple of months.

Just jolly great...

Here, we've lost Dat, Patrick, Rick, Bruce, Jane, Robards and Florence. And we haven't had a single replacement req to replace any one of the seven people we've lost in the last year or two. And Lexington is getting TWENTY SIX freakin' reqs.

What's up with that?!

You know, you put together all these "coincidences" and right now, it seems very much that the writing is on the wall. This support site isn't gonna to last much longer. Maybe a year, maybe 6 months.

Oh, I'm sure they won't close us down right now. It would cost too much, and we're still needed. At least until those 26 new bozos get up to speed on ClearCase.

Well, you know what? I don't think I'm going to wait around for them to invite me to leave. I'm starting to look for a new job, send out resumes, that sorta thing.

Who knows? Maybe I'll find a new job soon... :)

No more camera!

So now I'm lost my darling camera. SHIT!!!!!!!

Yes, that means no more new photos for a while. Yes, that also means I'll have to shell out another few hundred to buy a new camera. SHIT!!!!!

Nobody to blame but myself, for being stupid and careless and leaving it around. ARGH!!!!!!

Oh well... Let's be positive about this. It was time to upgrade anyway?!

Paypal ain't worth shit!

Check this out...

Paypal protection ain't worth shit!! Luckily got Citibank credit card protection. Otherwise I'll be royally fucked. So be warned... Use your credit card for paypal transactions unless you like donating money.
