It's work rant time, bitches!#$@
So, I have a million and ten software updates to do, thanks to Micro$oft's tom-foolery with their goddamn buggy code, and hackers and script-kiddies everywhere. Tonight I ran around work turning machines on so I could do nightly maintenance on their bitch asses, and show them who the fuck is boss; lo and behold, a machine in the student computer lab didn't power up. I took the case apart... and wouldn't you know it? Some fucker must have dropped it or kicked it; one of the retaining clips on the cpu heatsink/fan had broken off, and the damn thing was hanging by its power cord... OFF the cpu! Motherfucking stupid little bitches!!! So I'm crossing my fingers that I just need to replace the HSF and not the cpu as well. Seriously, shit like that pisses me off. Why can't there be normal fucking dorks at this school, that install games like warcraft and scorched earth and the anarchists cookbook; instead I get shitheads who think it's fun to kick the false plastic drive bays in. Fuckers. I only have one of the grades under control, because my brother is a student. I know all his friends, and they know I'll string them up a fucking tree if they fuck with my shit.
That and they think I'm cool... I guess that helps.
You know, it's funny... I had some troublesome junior highers last year, and they stopped fucking around after I chatted with them. I was straight up with them. I told them, look, don't fuck around a lot, don't make shit obvious, and I really won't care. I'm not purposely out to watch your every fucking move like a babysitter, I'm just here to keep shit running. I think they appreciated that, because I've had zero problems from them since (they just give the teachers shit instead, but hey, that's not my problem).
Word.
Oh yeah, I'm not going to Seattle today. My buddy Rodney has to move a little early, and he's too busy. Kinda sucks, but he's only moving to Fresno, so I can still visit him (I told him I'd try to get his parents drunk, hahaha).
He's rad, a really good friend that I made by playing computer games.
This weekend I think I'll work from home, just because I can (and the extra hours on my paycheck are always a plus). There's also some family bbq or something going on, and I'm all about the free food. Oh, and hot coworker's boyfriend is out of town, and she said she's going to a party tomorrow night. She was trying to get me out of going to Seattle, so perhaps I'll entertain her and go along. I'm pretty convinced she doesn't have any real friends anyway, so I have to see them in person.
Besides, what's a party without Josh???
Holy shit, I just realized something... I'm posting on a Saturday morning at 4:20am, and I'm neither drunk nor hung over! Jesus christ, I hope the world doesn't end!
Oh, and a general message to everyone that reads my damn journal: if you run a Windows machine, please, for the love of all that's holy, run Windows Update. Stop the email virus spam madness, stop the blaster worm craziness, just make it all go away! Go go go!
Props to all mah peeps, yo.
p.s. - This thread shows my appreciation for tons of you guys!

That's rad, how'd you meet her?

The quotes in there remind me of this lady who used to run the raddest coffee bar in the world, in Eugene.
