US education system at work? … I hope not.
A couple of Quebec comedians decided they’d place a call to Sarah Palin. And in doing so, make her think one of them was France’s president. And she fell for itt. No, sorry, tripped and fell for it. The conversation lasted nearly 10 minutes before she was finally clued … Read the rest

And because I can, random links of teh dayz.
Because all my content is in the *other* post. ***************** If you can’t get to this or that website over the next couple days, you probably won’t be too far wrong if you blame Sprint. Apparently, because of some pending lidigation, it’s decided to cut connections to Cogent, who’s … Read the rest

Bored. So, link dump.
I’ve been up for just over an hour, give or take. So far as I know I have absolutely nothing whatsoever planned for today, though considering this is me we’re talking about, that could change in like 5 minutes. So, content is nill. Pointless links incoming. ***************** Only in America … Read the rest

You’d think she’d learn.
A lady with a thing against the police has decided, with a little help from her friends, to clog up the 911 system with phoney calls. She now gets to sit in jail. Most people’d call it poetic justice. Me personally? I call it what happens to our society’s stupid. … Read the rest

This is why I do tech support in a call center, folks.
Woman arrested for threatening to take a broadband repair tech hostage. Haha. I can see where she’s coming from, but um, tiny bit of overreaction going on, methinks. I mean hell, the girlfriend makes those comments at least once every day or two and you don’t see me running for … Read the rest

Um, uh oh?
One of these days I’ll get into the habbit again of randomly dumping semi-humourous entries up here with links to articles/news stories/etc that demonstrate the utter moronicness of the average person. But for right now, um, is something broken on Canada’s job bank? Sorry no jobs matched your query. Please … Read the rest

Now that took balls.
How many IT people have threatened to do this? Lord knows I would have if they gave me that kind of access. Every IT person’s ideal revenge is right there. Just goes to show you, your tech support person can be your best friend, or your worst nightmare. Do *not* … Read the rest

The thing about tech support: you’re never *really* done.
A sign of just how eventful my week’s been; this is pretty much the only thing of any real significance, since I’m still waiting on things like, you know, job applications to come to fruition (I’ll post more on that tomorrow, or later on tonight). I did my usual thing … Read the rest

Is it bad that I’m using phone surveys to badmouth Bell?
I just got off the phone with one of those internet usage survey things. They had questions about Bell/Sympatico. My answers were, quite understandably, less than glowing. I’m a very bad person to be taking a survey for statistics purposes, methinks.
