Im a Realist

People who come by unannounced…there should be a name for them. I took a day off today because my boss asked me to work yesterday while everyone else had a day off. Home alone for an entire day was a dream come true. I was planning to do NOTHING ALL DAY.

Around 10 I finally got out of bed and moved over to the couch. Still in my underwear, bowl of cereal and Transformers on my blu-ray. 20 min into the movie the door bell rings. My thoughts are that its just a door-to-door salesman or a jehova couple, so I was gonna pretend no one’s home.

Door bell rings again…still sitting quietly on a couch. A few seconds later someone is knocking on the door. So now I am pissed. WTF?! Even if you think that someone is home you should get the hint if no one answers.

A few seconds later, another knock on the door. So I get off the couch and rush to the door ready to rip this person a new asshole. I open the door to find out that its my girlfriend’s mother who decided to come by and say hi.

I am not yet married and I already don’t like this woman. There definitely should be a name for people like this.

I had a meeting at noon today, so I didn’t have time to grab lunch before it. It got out around 1, so I decided to run out to Subway and grab something quick for lunch.

I am standing in line and there are only 2 people in front of me. Here comes my turn and I order a “$5 footlong” on wheat. The girl pulls out the last bread from the tray, and I ask her if the bread was fresh. “Of course,” she replied. I pay and sit down to enjoy my sub. I take the first bite to find out that the bread is rock hard.

Here is where the story gets better. I finish the sub without saying anything to the Subway people, because I don’t have time nor energy to argue. I am about to walk out and  see the girl bring our a brand-new tray with wheat bread on it.

Ain’t that a bitch!

So Windows 7 is coming out on October 22, 2009. I am still running Windows XP Pro and will not upgrade to Vista. I have heard too many horror stories. It seems as if Microsoft is just trying a different branding and marketing approach to Vista.

My girlfriend works for an HR department at a local temp agency. Their CEO was dumb enough to upgrade their 27 workstations to a Vista operating system. My girlfriend told me that the company’s IT bills tripled in last 8 months. Does that make sense???

Where I work, we have all Macs, that means no IT bills. Thank goodness, my boss is not an idiot that falls for the latest trends.
