The Solution!

This goes out to all the BIG companies out there! Instead of giving M$ billions of dollars every year for their second rate software why not use FIRST RATE software that‘s FREE???

There are millions of developers that would be happy to be paid for their services and support! So why not stay in business by kicking M$ to the curb?

Open Source, it‘s not just an option, it‘s a requirement!

I worry I might have to fire my employee
confessed at Oct 22, 06:09 PM

he‘s not doing well….I‘ve tried to help, he has no idea what else I can try to help him, no idea what else he can try to do. I think he‘s just not good in our environment PLUS doesn‘t have the knowledge he should — even if he gets better in the latter I don‘t see the former happening.

This economy sucks and I like this guy, but I may have to fire him. My manager is already appraised and he is worrying we may have to fire this guy too. :(

Radio Conversation

The one thing I like and dislike about my work is the fact that we get to use radio walkeetalkee. ( I don‘t think I spelt that correctly.) I like it because its fun to use and makes me feel important. The thing I hate about it is that people have no professional talking skills while using it. For instance:

Guy 1: “Who has the keys?”
Guy 2: “I have them”
Guy 3: “I think Guy 2 left them in the desk drawer.”
Guy 2: “I have them!”
Guy 1: “Alright, I‘ll check the desk.”
Guy 2 runs up to the desk and shows Guy 3 the keys while Guy 1 is walking down the street to the main building to the desk.
Guy 2 to Guy 3: “So who wanted the keys?”
Guy 3: “I don‘t know, I couldn‘t tell on the radio”
Guy 2 to radio: “Who is looking for the keys?”
Guy 1: “I am”
Guy 2 looks at Guy 3 who then picks up the radio.
Guy 3: “You know, with a bunch of people working right now, saying “I am” over the radio doesn‘t help anyone. We need a name please.”

I answered the phone at work last night. The guy asked me what the wait was. I told him it depended on how many people in his party. He told me and I said I could take him within the next half hour. He started to talk to his family in his room. I heard them say, “Well, when are we going?” He replied,” Well, I guess in a little while, I‘m naked right now.” I really didn‘t know how to answer.
