Resets more than an original NES


Yes yes....i'm not an art major but at my job I do have some leisure! LOL (hope my boss doesn't read my blogs! LOL) Anyways...so my 4th inferior Products on demand loves to stop in the middle of a song and go to the menu. Personally I thought that the damn thing had an attitude with my choice of music (which from what my friends say is totally understandable...and you all suck too! But moving on...). This is a known issue with Apple! *...blink blink...*
ummm
ok....so WTF is the fix?!? Lemme go ahead and fast forward the "genius" bar dicussion
...blah blah..reset? ...blah blah...restore? ..blah blah..upgrade software? ...blah blah...steve jobs a hummer?
And I've done all that! And I still don't know how the last "troubleshooting" tip *hee hee* gets my iPod working but I'm not one to question the "geniuses" there. So here I found the article of 200 damn bullets. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8888918
You should be able to scroll to the end of these damn things and have it say "You're Fucked" if there isn't an answer.
Gawd dammit Apple! If I wasn't such a fuckin sheep I'd...I'd! oooooooooooooOOOooH! (sips double tall skim no foam extra hot latte). So I'm gonna see some overweight, glasses, goatee 17yo named Sasha to hopefully swap out this iPod with something that works. I'll fuckin slap Billy or Sasha if they make me walk out the store with my current iPod and some weak ass advice. And you people want me to get an iPhlop?!? L...M...F...A...O! As if fuckin meself in the arse with my music isn't bad e-nuf, lemme go ahead and toss communications in there too! F that!
Ok....that's enuf about me bitching over stupid shit! God Bless America! iLuv that it's STUPID shit like this I get to bitch about, and not real world problems! Good life! Good Life!

Can you CC into the future?

Ok so let's see...the Circuit City (NYSE:CC) took a huge risk when the board decided to layoff all senior sales associtates and bring in some young will work for minimum wage hot shots. I mean the mentality must've been "OMG! How can we be losing so much $$$ when we got the same hot shit BestBuy's got???"....think...think...smoke....think...*DING*! We're paying the Sr. Sales associates way too much $$$! Let's let them go, bring in some new guys and let them do the same thing the Sr's are doing! I'm sure our products will make up for the lack of training and sales experience they'll bring to the table! Besides, people would rather save $1 then have someone educated speak with them. We know consumers, they're clueless! Much like our decision making!
"All in favor of laying of Sr. Sales associates say 'Ai'" 'AI!!!!!!!!'...promotions around the board, great thinking team!

Ok, I do let my imagination run wild...but you get the gist! Now if you have time in your hectic schedule to watch TV or even subscribe to the Sunday newspapers you'll see that CC hasn't taken a dumbass pill in the marketing/PR department. So why oh why is their stock selling for $1.80? Ok, besides their management's AWFUL decision making and lackluster...excuse me! Blockbuster withdrawing their bid to purchase CC for $6 /share why not buy this company? Who (*achoo RADIO SHACK!*)...bless me! Who would want to buy into the Circuit City chain that also has a number of stores in the US and Internationally? Are we ready to let go of Circuit City and give Best Buy the monopoly? Who's competing with Best Buy? Wal*Mart?? I don't think that's a fair comparison...Radio Shack focuses on the electronic side of the house and has it's own branded products with some interesting gizmo's. Wouldn't it be great for Radio Shack to EXPAND their market to DVDs, TVs and offer a larger variety of products? Clearly it is NOT in Best Buy's best interest to purchase CC as I'm sure they would love the kill.

Also who's best interest is it that CC doesn't close down? That question has me think of AMD & Intel. AMD has gone down to chinatown, but if they go under who will Intel compete against? I don't think Microsoft & Apple would let AMD go belly up as they would have only one major-chip provider to turn to unless Apple wants to burn their own chips which I'm sure M$ would applaud as APPLE products start off with "Ooos and Ahhhs" followed soon after by TURN ON GAWD DAMMIT! if you got an iPhone or are on your 4th inferior Products on demand (iPod), can i get a Hell yah? LoL!

Ok but back to Circuit City...things to focus on: It's competitors (as a whole, not piece by piece), It's Board (CEO, CFO, ETC...), It's been in business since 1984, the economy (are we really in a recession? I still can't find parkin at the GAWD DaYm mall people!), the GAS factor (not petrol, does america Give A Shit?), the products they offer, the team (not just the Board), and finally who would benfit greatly by offering CC a buy out at say $4.50 p/sh? Hey Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC) sold @ $2.00 a share, so $4.50 is nothing for those greedy bastards to sniff at!

Ok I gotta workout...will weekend blog in a bit!

Th Night

Aight so this week i'm gonna be pet sitting and playing with this brand new 2.5 dual ghz centrino, 4GB ram, 240GB 7200 RPM, 512MB Vid Card, Int finger scanner/webcam/mic, brightview 17" screen! Ohh yeahhhhhh.....mmmmm....talk geeek to me! oooOh! HP Laptop I'll be in Springfield this week and have a 4BR house with a sunroom n hottub all by me onesies! Oh yeah, dirty is gonna chillax this week! I do have an interview on Monday though and the recruiter actually shot me an e-mail sayin to dress professionally. My instincts was to reply back with: Huh DoooooY! but, i guess this thing called maturity (damn u aging!) had me just shake my head up n down thinkin of what else I "could've" replied back with...I was also thinkin, so is that a No for showing up in just a purple thong? It's a business attire I use for my "night job".

Awwww....I sure do miss technical recruiting. It was the BoMb when I was a recruiter...u got lonely by not interacting with people, but your hours freakin rocked especially if u were hiring the right people. From what I hear, things are more organized and structured in Kuwait! Where the hell was I at when I was trying to get that setup! LoL! wow...this blog went from pet sitting, to gettin a hard-on off this HP Laptop, interviewing to technical recruiting. Talk about your A.D.D., eh? So tonight I'll head home and pack some stuff up for Springfield (my KFC! w00t w00t!), another laptop (or as I call it...my Xtop! GigGity!) and some clothes.

Oh yeah, so bout this other job...it's suppose to have actual work! The site is running SLLLOOOOOW on exchange and needs an upgrade! YES! FUCKIN YES!!! I wanna be part of that setup! That would be sooooo freakin cool. So what about this other job....OK, so here me out! lol! This night job is aight, but monotonous. So I was actually toying with the iDea of workin at apple from 10 - 2pm (just for fun and to possibly learn more bout Macs). But this new job is right next door to my current one and is looking for someone from 9am - 3pm...meanwhile my other job starts at 330pm. OMG, rolling in the dough! I don't think that after taxes I'll need to hop over to Kuwait...I mean hell, with my weekends clear and being able to tell either job "I can't make it in" what's the point of going back to the sand? I mean YES! I'm going to miss my friends out there, but its a dealing with the traffic getting to work sucked and not being able to move up within the company...ummm, yeah that sucked too! Why limit myself? My friends will eventually make it back over here, and if not! EgH! There's always myspace and Gmail.

Also this week my inferior Product on-demand (iPod) broke...the Hard Drive just started clicking and what better time to go out, then when you're outta warranty? Right? Right? So again, initial reaction was to smash the fuckin iPod in front of their store and shout out a BIG "FUCK YOU APPLE", but damn this aging thing, I didn't! It felt good to think about tho....So I decided to take a walk around the lake with a friend and smashed the shit outta my iPod! It felt good and when I picked up the pieces I was like noooow ur fuckin broken and I don't have to pay some asshole at the genius bar to tell me that. So after 4 hours of grieving I went to target and picked up iPod #4 (WTF? When will I ever learn)...but this time when I was like TALK FLASH TO ME! I've got a backup mp3 player from 2001 that works because, hello! flash memory! So I got the 32GB iPod Touch. Had people say, y not get the 16GB iPhone for the same price? Well given the fact that I'm going through iPod #4...Do you really think I'm gonna trust apple with music AND telecommunications? Yeeeeeaaaah...no thanks, I'll just carry two devices and when iPod #4 crashes...me & the HTC will have a good laugh and probably chuckle "Can you hear it now?...Nope, its fucked! hahaha" (yes, my HTC talks to me..jealous?)

I'm also undergoin an investigation and had my investigator call me with ?'s. So I answered her questions and next thing you know Adan(m) calls me up the next day and was like "Dood! Some investigator called me and was asking me all sorts of questions". That was pretty quick! 2 days before all this Marlon gives me a call. So I'm at my Dad's office and of course he is as comfortable with me being gay as a cat is swimming across a lake. So we're talkin and he asks me how was my visit with my sister and stuff and then we got down to business. He gave my name to an investigator and needed help with his investigation and gave my name. So all the same it was great hearing from him and it gives me pleasure that I ca help him out professionally :-)

So wish me luck n stuff, I interview on Monday (and not in a purple thong! lol!) and am tired of typin! lol! Laters
