Warning! Blogging may be contagious
So I am reading m.s's blog to catch up on the recent goings on as it is apparent to all that I have been neglecting the blog.
Aside
I feel I need to, for a moment, explain that
although I was an english major in college
all the principles of grammar that I learned
have been tossed out the proverbial window.
For some inexplicable reason I am unable
to communicate my thought in any other
form than stream of consciousness. So
while I fruitlessly attempt to verbalize in
any coherent fashion, punctuation evades
me and I am left with endless run ons and
grammatically incorrect jargon. m.s. will
have a field day with her red correction pen.
With that said I continue with "My so called
life"
So I am catching up when I realize that I am not the only cheeseball who has seen and can quote from The Pick-Up Artist. My My aren't we children of the 80's. What's next, leg warmers. Hey is it possible to have virtual leg warmers. There's a new domain name for you. virtuallegwarmers.com
Again I must reiterate the difficulty of maintaining a relationship and a blog when the two are not copacetic. My significant other and computers are like vinegar and water. No matter how often you mix them together and how vigorously you stir they just do not mix. I don't get it. I mean he has a computer that is collecting dust under a pile of rubbish in his closet. My repeated attempts to explain the benefits and usefulness of this piece of machinery are wasted. My time would be better spent banging my head against the wall. O.K. so lets review. As cablevision does not carry the yes network c. can not watch any of the yankee games and is constantly trying to catch the score on "The Bottom Line" on ESPN No matter how many times I say "Hey if you set up the computer you can check the score anytime you want, heck you can watch the whole play by play online" and yes, I actually said HECK he never learns. Be patient Grasshopper. All good things come to those who wait. Yes sensei.
So now c.h. has succumbed to the glory of the blog under the guise of education. Hah. Say what you will but no one can resist the power of the blog. "Each time I think I'm out, they pull be back in". c.h. is now the computer Guru at work. The neophytes we work with are so freaked out by our intranet so they come running over to him all day begging for his help. He says click here and hit shift F9 and he is revered a genius. The monument should be erected in the lobby by early fall. I jest. I can't wait to see what he does with his blog. He may not be an expert yet but wait and see. Prepare to be amazed.
On a similar note, while I love my job and most of the work that I do, I pisses me off that the company still can't recognize the potential of our small department. I am no computer whiz. I can hold my own and I understand concepts but I don't love it the way m.s. and c.h. do. If they gave m.s. the oportunity she would have the website redesigned and functioning like clockwork in no time. She is such a customer service oriented person and thats a great balance for me. c.h. well, what can I say excpet that he is amazing. He is going to school to become MCSE certified and could singlehandedly replace CAMPUS. I on the other hand love the organization and statistics of the job. I like the technical side to, don't get me wrong but I prefer fighting for the cause. I am a "going to the mattresses" kind of girl. As anyone will tell you I am very opinionated and am not shy about sharing those opinions with other. While this does not always make me the Fan Favorite, I don't mind because sometimes things need to be said even if they don't always want to be heard. We could do so much for the company if they would only give us the oportunity. How often do you find three people who enjoy working together, who get along well both at work and outside of work, and who compliment each other so well. We could conquer the world if we wanted to. But that would entail leaving our terminals and that just does not compute.
Damn, said non computer friendly significant other is here with nourishment. Until later...................
