I learned today that the Indian restaurant that I keep meaning to go to for lunch sometime, but haven't managed it for the last three months for one reason or another, was just on the news for breaking 23 health violations.

Today I learned that the days of Dupek spamming the front page of the board with thread after thread have returned.

"There's no substitute for victory."
-General Douglas MacArthur

This Seems right up your alley chaz!

I have one of those CD player/radio thingies for the shower and today I was listening to Psychocandy during my morning scrubbing. The trebly environment of the shower, coupled with the CD player's cheap speaker made that record sound really bad.

Psychocandy by Jesus and Mary Chain sounds really really bad in the shower.

What did you learn today?

Do you know what I find rather pretentious???

When people exit their cars in a big parking lot and they don't activate the alarm/lock beep until they are 100 yards away. Why do they wait so long? Are they trying to make some sort of grand exit statement? I beep mine right away. You..?

If I was a thief, I'd jump right in just after they exited, and way before they had time to activate the beep. Hide in the back and steal everything after they went in the store.

that the first Mew album sounds a lot like the second one, not that this is a bad thing.

the last track my most recent last.fm friend was listening to was…

Carcass "Keep on Rotting in the Free World" hmmm whose personal playlist does this best belong on…

I have to provide a writing sample to work at an IP lawfirm for only doing paralegal work. WTF!

How 'bout those who activate their alarms when they go into 7-11? Paranoid much?

We take writing samples from everyone we hire - even the receptionists. Although a particular position may not involve any writing, the sample is one good way of gauging a candidate's ability to communicate clearly.

I learned that the real coffeeshops in my new work location are sadly lacking. FYI businessowners: put up a coffee shop in Navy Yard and you'll make a ton of money.

Signed,

I need my espresso shots.

Don't get me started….I've used up my toy allowance for the next few months.

Today I learned that you CAN have an additional Domain Controller in a Windows SBS2003 environment, provided the new DC has R2 and you run the forestprep command from the R2 installation media on the origional SBS DC.

Who knew?

I learned that the band that sang "How Bizarre" is from New Zealand.
