Also, can some one tell Murphy we're having a kid and that he needs to come over and get bombed at the Bonerville Ranch

Thoughts...

Did anyone notice the coincidental timing of two big news stories yesterday- republican tea party protests and the homeland security report warning about the increase in right-wing wacko extremest groups? Hmmm....

YOU are the victim of identity theft and the fraudster calls your bank to transfer money into their own account. But instead of asking them for your personal details, the bank assistant simply presses a button that causes the phone to produce a brief series of clicks in the fraudster's ear. A message immediately alerts the bank that the person is not who they are claiming to be, and the call is ended.

i see this as being a direct path to mind control. oh great, they can send a signal through your cell phone to control your brain. great. just plug me in while you're at it.

cool tech though. imagine having to burn off your inner ear like you would have to do to wipe out your fingerprints? ouch.

Pirates

what i don't get is why these guys seem to be able to do whatever they want. whats the difference between these pirates and terrorists? land vs water? for fuck sake, they have tanks! the real terrorists don't even have tanks. why aren't we wiping them off the face of the earth?

i want to be a pirate too. they can control shipping lanes and steal cargo ships. i'd love to hijack a giant container ship. think of all the awesome crap on board! plus theres only like 5 crewmen to run those things so it'd be easy. you can do whatever you want in international waters too. (sweetpea, i'm looking at you)i bet i'd be a good pirate. Drunken McSmokey, terror of the seven seas!

what d oyou want from work? 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 4/09/2009 11:06:00 PM

over too many beers i had a very sobering conversation with my boss tonight. (oh yeah, i'm drunk now too so everythin youy read shoud be taken witha grain of salt.) basically, i'm not on the "bad" list right now. they like me so i'm going ot be able ot keep my job. as great as that sounds, it may not be worth keeping. but it might be. thats what they want me to think. i've put in two years there  (new personel record)   and appently i've got one more to go, unless oh course i screw up or be honest or do what's right for the company or do anything beisde suck on the balls of every boss above me for a year.because i be there longer than they are. or not. depends on whose ball i suck on and who gets fired first. its like a dice roll.

the question we always seem to leave each other with is, what do you want out of work? why do you keep showing up everyday? to pay the bills? to keep your job? to impress your boss? to save the world? keep the peace? change the countires enery usage? pay for bikes?

wait i have not eaten sinlge piece of food for 11 hours now. oops.

ahhh crap i'm drunk. of course that's what this blog was founded on. crazy rants that have no place being broadcast to the public. enjoy. i feel as i'm over due for a good one since i so rare ly write like this anymore. this will always be something i regret psting and i know better, but i feel as though i'de be cheating this blog by not doing it. an avenue to ride thrant down was this blog's purpose and it has succeeded.

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Thursday, April 09, 2009 11:35:00 PM  

"thrant" should be a new word. Verb "To engage in the act of ranting". Websters here i come

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Friday, April 10, 2009 12:04:00 AM  

I propose a new rule:

"Only talk to your boss if he is more drunk then you are"

Its worked so far for me, anyway.

I quit work because I didn't think we were making any difference. 9 people spending $3M/year writing papers that one or two similar folks at other uni's would read - wahoo that's change! Though I liked spending my federal pork money at the food coop and on local beer, I couldn't pretend the work was important enough for the satisfaction of the director. Quitting seemingly wasn't such a hot idea given the current economy, but at least now I get to shop at the coop in the morning when it's not packed.

I don't follow your situation Matt. They want you for another year, but you're not sure about it? Was it a contracted position, or for a particular project?

By  Damon, at Saturday, April 11, 2009 12:01:00 PM  

Hypenco?

yeah, i think he was more drunk than i at the time, he was a good 2 beers ahead.

its not a contract position, i'm permanent. i think the part i skipped over in my altered state was that things aren't going well so stuff like raises, 401K's aren't going to be around anytime soon so why would i want to wait until it does come back when i could just get a different job at a place. and one of the things i was getting knocked for is not playing the corporate game. i need to be nicer to my bosses and not make them look bad, right or wrong. i guess they don't like that.

By  Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Tuesday, April 14, 2009 5:47:00 PM  

I wouldn't look for another job just for benefits and raises. They pretty much don't exist right now for anybody.

Think karma. One day you'll be the boss and the last thing you want is some punk kid calling you out all the time. No wonder they want your skin. You either have to play the game or be your own boss. There isn't much middle ground.

By  ron, at Tuesday, April 14, 2009 9:37:00 PM  

I have to agree with Ron. I make alot of waves at work, but I always try to show respect to my boss. Have I challenged my boss publicly? Yes. Have I gone overboard before? Yes. But I know where to draw the line. I also know that my boss knows exactly what I am worth to the company. A double edge sword, and we both know it. I'm productive, maybe more than two new people would be. And I make more than what two people start at. I can't fuck up or I'm gone. Doesn't matter how right I've been in the past. As soon as I fuck up, I'm out. And we both know the dollar value of the kind of fuckup I would have to make. So I propose a new rule. If your boss makes an obvious bad decision, object in private once. Failing that, see what kind of popular support you have, and determine who amongst that holds the most sway with your boss's boss. If that is not a viable avenue, and there is no turning the boat around, well, then... you need to make your opinion known, but again only once and do it respectfully. Everybody already knows your boss is a jackass, no reason make it seem more so. Challenge the idea without calling anyone out. But only once. Beating a dead horse annoys people and turns them agianst you. The main point is show respect. Its the most difficult thing to do, sometimes, but necessary. Ron is very right about raises and benefits. Forget it and be glad your getting a check. Don't be a spoiled American. Selling anything right now is an uphill battle, much less trying to get people to pay you on time. That puts alot of cash flow stress on a business. Not matching 401k helps a little. So does reducing benefits, especially if your company has a self funded plan. Claim fluctuations are a real bitch on cash flow for small companies. Unpredictable, except for the fact that stress causes heart attacks. But I digress. Looking over now I see the thing about "thrant", and I agree. I propose a new rule: "Thrant" is a word that means "To engage in the act of ranting".

Remember to polish your boner and eat a herring today so long from Norway, so very long. And I say, drink up and enjoy polishing your boner this far from Norway. Dutch penis elm disease. Herring doctor joke.
Cheers.

fuck the world 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 4/06/2009 07:08:00 PM

first off, screw Cox communications, the FCC and the YES network. aparently i live in some kind of mystery no yankees void. Cox won't provide the YES network or let national ankees game get through on ESPN or FOX. they play ESPNews instead.  They blame the FCC. the FCC won't let you get anywhere near someone with enough brainpower to make a decision let alone achieve an independant thought. the YES network closes at 4:30 during the week. they are the lucky ones.

arcane blackout restrictions are the cause of my anger here. MLB won't change them. the FCC can't do anything right and for some reason i can't get yankee games where i live at any cost. (well, the true cost is direct TV with the MLB package, but i rent, maybe i should change that first, but that requires a stable job, which i don't have right now, cause the economy is in the tank, and no one is buying cars... DAMN IT! fucking snowball). 

i'm not going to talk about it here but something amazing happened at work today. not only was a problem caught and accidentily passed on anyway, but it happened again with the same material, at a different plant. twice to the same stuff.

i have cox cable and got the yankees game yesterday. we have the digital cable and it was on one of the mlb channels. i think you would've been upset if you watched it anyways.
