…about buying fast food.

Stood in line for some food. First line I stood in was for the rightmost cashier. By the time I get there, the line closed. The cashier went on a tirade of how people were getting his autograph that some sports star gave him. Something like how his ink didn’t try (glossy paper) and how the store was giving the sig away and he was gonna just transfer it by pushing it on the patrons autograph object. So I’m a little stymied cause I get to the end of the line only to have it closed. But the guy next to me was nice and said I could have his spot. But I think that was cause I complained to the manager and he said something. Don’t remember. Then I got in the first place of that line and saw that they only had nuggets, fried, tater tots, and corn dogs. But they had 4(!) dipping sauces: sugar icing, honey mustard, BBQ sauce I, and BBQ sauce II. Mmmm. So I got 5 nuggets, which I asked him about the meat type and he said some fancy words to the effect of minced meat, when it was just like a regular nugget. And 2 corn dogs.

So I’m paying for it and the guy behind me takes the food and goes and sits down with his party and is about to eat it when I said hey, that’s mine. He says no it’s not and I’m like, yEaeah, I’m paying for it right now. He’s like oh, that’s right, I already ate…Okkkay…Something about him filling out the order form? but we never used an order form. Then my cashier starts ramblin to the head cashier bout how he can’t stand the customers and the head cashier retorts about sucking it up and how he can’t understand the young people’s ghetto hip language but he just tries.

That was a stupid dream not worth posting on anyone’s site. But hell, I had to wake up at 5:00am to drive to the airport this morning.

I’m off to my first Tech Session. Later.

Got a call from Nielsen TV Ratings company this morning, but the lady asked if it was a business and I said yes, and she said, sorry must’ve dialed a wrong number. Doh! And there I was looking forward to swaying the ratings…anyways, for some stupid reason I always thought they’d just call the same people over and over again when they get stats for the ratings. Has anyone ever gotten a call for TV ratings? What’d they ask you about? Did they give you a GC for a free pizza at the end?

I found this off of Mark Cuban’s blog. I thought it would be pretty amusing for those that follow the Hollywood scene really closely, e.g. Entertainment US Weekly readers!

• Asus nForce2 Ultra 400…blahblahblah…dual memory channel mobo
• Barton 2500+ (1.833Ghz) –> maybe o/c to 2.200Ghz (3200+?)
• 2 x 256MB PC3200 cas 2.5
• Alpha PAL8045 520g(!) heatsink — nearly 1 pound (=545g)

• $45 USB2 aluminum external HD chassis — my rendition of the iPod, only larger and 4x the capacity (160GB). And it doesn’t play no stinkin’ music.

Except that person we know bought “hot” items instead of cleverly badged fakes.

LOL.

I believe some of my first entries were over the stuggles I was having with my main workstation. And now it has come full circle. That same workstation which was continuously on (no reboots) for the last 98 days has unfortunately died due to a faulty circuit. I came back home to find the computer off and when I tried to power it up, the smell of smoldering PCB hit my nose. I opened the case to find the motherboard fried due to a failing -power coupler(?)- voltage regulator. Anyhoo, it’s an excuse to upgrade right? I was hoping to spend the money on a used ThinkPad or competition tires for the rims I just acquired. Oh well, time to dip into the non-existant emergency fund. Lets see what the state of technology is at this moment…
