Life at Microsoft

It’s absolutely amazing how Microsoft works.  I’ve been working on a project for several months now and it’s just one roadblock after another.  We’ve done a gap analysis, a Return on Investment, and metrics to prove why this new tool is the way to go.   It is a more efficient tool that will save the company just short of $1,000,000 per year.  Not only that, but a legally binding contract is in place.

Yet, with all this in place, no one is willing to help me with the final piece.  If you were given an opportunity to save your company $1,000,000 with just a flip of a switch, wouldn’t you want to do it?  Of course you would. 

Freaking Microsoft.  This is the Omnipotent Stick in full effect.

A Convenient Truth

I love it when Democrats are exposed as the hypocrites they are. You’ve probably seen the news about Gore’s electricity bill being close to $1400 a month.

Yup, the voice behind global warming awareness is wasting natural resources more than the average American.

Gore claims he makes up for it by investing in $432 per month in green power.

Um, hello? Two problems here:

1. Do the math:  $1359 on the non-environment friendly energy consumption per month.  $432 a month in green power investments.  That’s $927 worth of still-wasted energy consumption per month.  That doesn’t offset anything.  Yet, he states this balances 100%.  We can post that statement right next to him spelling “potato” with an “e”.
2. Gore’s spokeperson, Kalee Kreider, states “Focusing on Gore’s personal electricity consumption misses the point of “An Inconvenient Truth,” which is that governments and the public can work together to reduce emissions.”  

Thanks for pointing #2 out. What part of Gore’s wasteful energy consumption works with the people and the government to reduce emissions? Is it the part about investing in green energy each month? Nope, that can’t be it (refer to #1 above). This doesn’t change the fact that he is wasting fossil fuels just like the rest of the world.

Oh, I’m sorry, did I say “just like the rest of the world”? I meant, 4 times more than the average American with an equivalent size home as Gore.

Too bad I’m not a Democrat. If I was, I could start a campaign raising awareness about blogging being a waste of time and energy. And then blog about it.

Stop being retarded!

So, a little over a week ago, there was the supposed bomb scare when people found little electronic components with an image of the Moonbot from Aqua Teen Hunger Force flipping off anyone who’s eyes may have seen it.

Most of them looked like broken remote controls.

I know talking about this is like beating a dead horse, but I had to add my two cents.

You people have lost your entire sense of humor. That’s exactly what is wrong with this country now. The majority is so wrapped up in security that it has forgotten the fundamentals of what it is to be an American.

Freedom of Speech. Opportunity. The right to be who you are without conviction.

Pull that stick out of your ass and remember what country you live in. Stop overreacting to stupid crap like this. Just remember, when you freak out like you have to such trivial pranks such as this, that means the terrorists have gotten exactly what they want, to make us live in fear.
