Work itself was quiet tonight. However things still got pretty interesting. To give you an idea of how bad the storm was, part of our building got flooded. It wasn’t anything too horrible but we did have to close off the entire area. 3 guys tried to push the water out but it kept coming back in as it was entirely level.

I believe it mostly has something to do with the repaving of the driveway. They did a shitty job of it. Now there’s lots of little pools for water to collect in, that and the trenches don’t work properly either. Oh! Also the roof upstairs is leaking. Fabulous.

Participating in Black Friday? You might want to read this.

This is just ridiculous.

Granted, I work in retail. And I hate seeing people buy shit just to use it for one weekend. But this takes it a little too far, especially for legitimate returns.

“Your personal information is entered into a huge database and like a credit score, they tabulate how many returns you do and if you go over the limit, you are denied returns,” he said. “The worst part is that they won’t just deny returns to Home Depot, but to any retailer that participates in The Retail Equation.”

I don’t have to worry at least. I shop online. I’m fucking afraid of Black Fridays.

Blogospheric Naval Gazing / Clown Shoes

Myst Blogs will be shutting down.

Went through my bookmarks today and found this at the top of MystBlogs.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Myst Blogs is scheduled to shut down on December 31, 2012. If you would like to take over Myst Blogs, including the domain name, please contact Denis (denis.defreyne at stoneship.org).

And another one gone and another one gone ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!!!

On another note I wonder if anyone will take it over. Ah well. I think this calls for a new tagline.

“I was banned from MystBlogs because Men’s naked chests are too scary.”

Early Morning Open Thread

Not much to write tonight. Work was uneventful. Although I did talk to one of my coworkers who is interested in purchasing a laptop. That got me to thinking about upgrading too. Don’t get me wrong I love my laptop, but wouldn’t mind going Core 2 Quad or i5. Of course it isn’t too much of a priority since it still does a lot of what I need when I’m away from home.

Playing with the blog again

I’ve been noticing that whenever someone comments it leaves a fake url (or a regular one) at the bottom of the post instead of within the persons name. So I’m experimenting with another template. This one looks similar but has even more custom options. Let me know if anyone is having issues with it.
