BabyBjörn

A few weeks ago I attended a 80s themed baby shower for a colleague and his wife. One of the gifts (as always one of the gifts is) was a BabyBjörn. Tim (or Tom as he has previously been known as here) immediately set out to learn how to use it. Even though there were a few baby size babies there, he found something he liked to carry around much better....and found that the leg hole was perfectly positioned for the tap. The pictures aren't that great because the Polaroid camera's film (remember the 80s theme) went bad.

Cartoon Progress

After compiling the lists of suggestions and removing duplicates (there weren't that many), I am at about 380 names. That should last me a while, but I think I am going to need more. Craziness! The most submitted name was Speedy Gonzales. The one that I was most shocked to see (as in I would have NEVER remembered it) was Jabbberjaws. The silly shark that always said something like "Nak-Nak-Nak!" like the 3 Stooges. I shall have to go back and see who suggested it and give them some big thanks. Which out of all of these do you think would be the COOLEST printer name ever?

More Help...of the Cartoon Character Kind....

Today I FINALLY got approval to start naming the 800 or so printers at my job after cartoon characters. I don’t have to do all 800 at once, but I really need to start putting together a list, thus ANY and ALL suggestions will help. South Park and Sponge Bob are off the table. This reminds me of the time that Todd and I tried to name all the Disney full length cartoons!

The ones I have thus far are:


Batman
Boris Badenov
Brain
Buggs Bunny
Bullwinkle
Buzz Lightyear
Calivn
Danger Mouse
Destro
Donatello
Dot
Eyore
Foghorn Leghorn
Gargamel
Gonzo
Hobbs
Kermit
Leonardo
Linus
Marvin the Martian
Michaelangelo
Optimus Prime
Pinky

Ren
Roadrunner

My Weird Father In Law

A while ago I posted about my weird mother in law. This post will be dedicated to my weird father in law and the weirdness of his food choices.

For instance he loves:

Smoked Minnows

Chicken Livers

Pig's Feet


Grits

And Banquet Sweet and Sour Chicken

And HATES:

Bow Tie Pasta because he says he feels like he is eating real butterflies.

Now, I am not saying that the things he loves may not have their place and that I think they are gross, I am just saying that it is weird of him to like them, but not the lower list. Hmmm....

Am I Completely Crazy?

So, every time someone throws their cigarette ashes/butts out their car window while driving...and then I drive over them, I imagine that my car might explode. Am I the only one?

Exactly How Blasphemous is this?

For the past week I have been working on one server. It is a very important server, and no matter what I do, it will not work they way it is supposed to work. It either works half way, or not at all. I have spent hours building, rebuilding, configuring, and learning command line Linux scripting. Today (before lunch so I may have been slightly impaired from hunger), my boss came in to see how it was going.

I commented to him, “Do you by chance have any type of consecrated healing oil?”… to which he responded, “I guess we could try the laying on of hands.”

I then answered back, “Do you think there is a patron saint of VMware we should be asking for help?” He then replied, “Does this server need an exorcism?”

An hour later, and not at all closer to a solution, my boss returned. He suggested, “Perhaps we should sacrifice something to it?” I replied, “So, now we have run the gauntlet and gone pagan?”

Since we were on the same wavelength at this point we both said together, “…Or perhaps we should just call in a suicide bomber!”

It still isn’t working.

Mission Accomplished

I told him and all is well.

But I found this, and it made me think of how I was really feeling when I told him.



I hope he doesn’t read my blog one day….Hmmmm…if you are reading this post right now …sorry, but you know I couldn't resist. :-)

Help...

What is the best way to tell someone that the reason their computer is infected with spyware and had to be rebuilt was because of the porn sites they spent time on? Do you just tell them they need to be more selective of how they find it? Do you tell them that they would be better off buying some DVDs from the local porn shop? Won't this embarrass them? I feel like a doctor that has to tell her patient that he has syphilis.
