Friday's Music

Well, it is Friday, and even though this week was a 4 day week, it still seems like it was a LOOOOONG week. Anyway, I had updated my iPod again last night with some more music, thanks to McGone giving me some ideas, and watching The Office.
Songs I added last night:

Dandy Warhols - "Bohemian Like You" - diggin the tune McGone gave me "We Used to Be Friends"
Travis - "Side" - was on Jim's iPod on The Office episode "The Client".
Remy Zero - "Save Me" - had this song a while ago, but lost it. For some reason I thought this was a song by Travis, but after some searching, realized I was wrong.
Stereophonics - "Devil" - after some searching online, found out this was the song in Rescue Me the other night, awesome song.

These songs fall into a category of...well I am not sure really. The bands are kind of like Top 40 hit makers, that normally I would not really pay much attention to. But every once in awhile you hear a song (usually pops up in a TV show) from one of these Top 40 bands and it is really good. But at the same time, the rest of the music is so-so. Almost a One-hit Wonder type of thing. But what do I know, I am not a music specialist, just my opinion.

This morning I was listening to Alice in Chains mix I made, taken from The Music Bank box-set. I wonder how AIC would have done if Layne Staley had not overdosed? - On April 20, 2002, Staley was found dead in his home two weeks post mortem after injecting a mixture of heroin and cocaine known as a "speedball". - Either way, I still love AIC and for some reason this morning, I just had an itchin to hear songs about death! Kidding...but I was in the mood for AIC.

FRIDAY WORK
Man, Friday's suck around here. There are usually a few people gone, which makes it quiet, and the work is slow. This morning however, I was busy. Not to bore anyone with what I do, I will make it short...I create orders in the mainframe for customer equipment, mainly Cisco routers...
Well this morning I had to produce this quote using a Cisco Webtool, which was VERY slooooooow this morning, and kept timing out on me, very annoying. Anyway, this was a huge order, total was like $1.5 Million dollars, big customer. I got it done, then was told by the person who sent it to me "Oh, by the way, you need to split that up, the webtool will not transfer it correctly when it is that big" DAMMIT!! This thing took me over an hour to do, and now I have to start all over. CRIPES!
This is how my group works, they show you how to do something, then after you know how to do it, they change the process, but don't bother telling anyone. So I find out that what I had been doing for a month, is now different, and what I did was wrong...all the while they act as if I am some idiot who should have known about the changes. How am I supposed to know about it if no one communicates? Am I supposed to use osmosis? Anyway, What should have taken me an hour to do, ended up taking over 3 hours. So I just had to vent.

STUPID PEOPLE
Ok, I have to comment on this, it has happened to all of us....stupid comments by stupid people...

- You come inside from lunch, shirt is spotted wet...genius walking by asks "Is it raining out?" - "No actually, I have this condition where my pores sweat individually at different times, and it produces what looks like rain drops on my shirt"
- When someone says "Have you been outside yet?" You say "no headed out now, or soon", Reply from Idiot "you shouldn't go, it's so nice outside you're not going to want to come back." Of course you dont want to come back to work, but why do people have to say this?
RELATED to the above:
- On my way back in to work after lunch, beautiful day out, annoying guy says, "Aren't you headed the wrong way?" My reply "Well I guess so, if I weren't working, but my lunch is over, and since I need money to survive, I have to go this way"
- "This is horrible. Here, try this" Why would I taste something that you said tastes like an ass sandwich?

Have any others? Post a comment and I will add them.
