It's not here, either, but you can press charges on destroying intellectual property. There are other things too. Plus he could be held civilly for damages and the like... NOT a smart move.Bin Noddin wrote:No clue how good he had it - hope he learns.... pissed away 25.00 an hour and benefits to steal 300 in tools - dumbassThis is not legal here in Maryland - don't know how it is in your state.Take the cost for new tools out of his last paycheck

Whats worse - he now has a blemish on his work history that will follow him around anywhere he tries to get work in this field. People are not overly willing to hire an software engineer who has a propensity to fuck up websites and steal shit from their employers.
What an idjit. Make that... considering the thread... Fucking Idjit!

Well, fuck, that was a stupid move on his part! Unfortunately, all I know about Flash is that I don't like it. As far as I can tell, I can't copy and paste information from sites which use it. I suppose company might view that as an advantage-- since it keeps people from stealing images and using them on their websites, but, darn it all, I have no intention of passing anyone else's stuff off as my own! I might use it as wallpaper or something, but I would never claim it as my own! Plus, I can't cut and paste contact information or directions from Flash websites, either! Its back to the old handwritten notes copied from the screen....
Anyway, I'm not going to get to be the fucking Maytag Repairman spokesman. I really didn't expect to get the part, but it was annoying I got cut before getting my minute in front of the camera. They lined five of us up in front of a panel for an introductory thing, and my nerves got the better of me. I was just a little off, and that was enough.
Then I couldn't find my car in the fucking parking ramps at Navy Pier! AND they charged me $19 for parking!!! I missed a turn for getting back on the Interstate, and got a tour of Chicago. Never did make it back on the Interstate, actually, which meant a longer trip but no toll....
Just after crossing the state line, I remember my cell phone. I'd managed to forget and leave it in the car during the audition. It had a missed call on it. I did a call back, and it was to set up an interview for a half time, Limited Term Employment job at the University of Wisconsin. (A friend of mine had put me onto the job-- which means I'll owe him one if I get hired.)
Arriving home I found a second message waiting on my machine-- about a job I don't recall applying for.... I tried calling back on it, but the caller had gone home for the day, and the guy who answered the telephone didn't know anything about the job. I need to call them back on Thursday.
Now I am getting a fucking headache again. After today I am tempted to try to use vodka on it!
Wheeeeee!?!

Our companies entire website is a flash movie. I have no clue if this is industry standard, or an acceptable practice - but I am having a hard time updating it using flash 8. Anyone who knows how to do the following - please PM me and give me the tips I need. Help is useless on this damn program, and I need to update it as the version I have is still full of Lorem Ipsum and needs all of the new text dropped on it.
It is just plain stupid to build an entire website as a Flash movie. You see it done a lot, but unless there is a complete alt version that people can get to easily, it will flunk the accessibility test.
My sympathies, but what you need is a web designer with a little real-life perspective. As an example of what I mean, take a look at www.stern.de. It is readable by virtually every screen reader and represents (by my lights) one of the best examples of serious accessible design to be found.
I'm not using the PM channel because I hope our web-designing brothers and sisters and their clients who are fortunate enough to have discovered the eplaya will find some way(s) to benefit from this discussion.
Good luck!
Fuck! I'm spending a good portion of today trying to get my psych. meds. refilled. I have never had good luck getting my psychiatrist's office and the pharmacy to actually COMMUNICATE with each other! Apparently, everything is purely my responsibility, and none of it is theirs....
Well, my medical doctor's office finally got back to me about the results of my blood test. At least, with supplementation, my testosterone level is finally out of the "little girl" range. After some prodding, I finally found out it is still in the lower end of the normal spectrum. (And the doctor still doesn't seem inclined to do any further tests to see WHY it was in the sub-basement level in the first place! Nor to actually confirm that some of the symptoms of a low testosterone level might have been behind my employment troubles.) With my medical doctor, the best news is that I am moving and will need to find another, hopefully better, doctor....
Damn! I got a job interview Thursday! I don't want to attempt it without my fucking medication!!!
Maybe I should take to calling them every few minutes until something happens...?

Well, actually, what I would need before the interview would be some UPPERS! The time and weather just won't work for that. (I kinda wish I still had some of this weight loss medication I was taking a number of years ago. It was the best thing I ever found for my mood, and really helped me to lose the weight, too. Of course the feds wound up outlawing it!
)
Well, its about time for me to call the fucking pharmacy and psych. again.
TYL,

Sometimes life is fucked up. A friend of mine died about 3 weeks ago, losing her battle with fucking cancer. She'd beaten it twice before, but it seems that the 3rd time was just too much for her body to handle. She was truly one of the most vibrant people I've had the pleasure of meeting and was entirely too fucking young (early 50s) to die.
But wait there's more... Found out that a close friend at school was diagnosed with ovarian and cervical cancer. FUCK!!!! This lady is only 24 years old, and they think that it may have metasticized (sp?). Not to use a cliche, but why do bad things happen to GREAT people? Why can't this shit happen to someone who fucking deserves it? (Of course, I'm not entirely sure that anyone deserves it... Who the fuck am I to judge?) I cannot stand to see good people suffer, especially someone who has been such a great friend.
*sigh* fuck.

It's finally fucking done.
I signed the forms for the Voluntary Separation Plan and walked out of my job on my own terms today. For the first time in over a decade I'm not working in Telecom and I'm in control of what I want to do next. And I'm not under immediate pressure to jump into something else either.
It's a nice feeling to finally have some fucking control back. And I got out before the ship sunk...and as I learned today the ship was certainly fucking sinking.
I wanted to put up a post letting people know what happened and to say thanks for the advice...especially to you Joel.
So what's next? I've got a second round interview for a government position that looks very promising next week...so it looks like I won't be off work for long! Again, thank you to everyone who offered their support.
Oh and one last thing...Freedom is a wonderful fucking thing to have!

Oh fuck yeah! mylarry and I have been invited to be on fire safety for the Utah performers again. Oh my fucking yes! An Amazing Amount of Fucking Fun last year! ... even if we were so busy with the fuel we didn't really get to see much of the performance .... oh fucking well, the price one fucking pays, but who cares? Fuck me yes!
FUCK! I'm being ostrasized from the Vegas "community" because my former 'best' friend (lying sack of shit) and her child molester boyfriend (yes, her own daughter told me what happened, so it's NOT a rumor) attends these 'parties'. My presence would make them feel 'uncomfortable'. DUH! I HOPE SO!!!
Everyone seems to forget, that it was my friends and I who started this community back up. "Hey Assholes!!! Remember Scorched Feet & Decomdex???" And who was at the first Vegas 1st Fridays????
Fuck all of you that prefer to stay with the "in" crowd so you can attend swingers parties at BamBam's. Not one of you has hosted a work party - but WE have - on MANY occassions! But I guess we are not cool enough. So enjoy partying with a pedophile - and don't forget to bring your teenage daughters!
You all suck! And I hope you die horrrible deaths!!!!! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!!!!!!
<fucking>

Fucking weird weather....
Last night I went over to a friend's house for a get together as bad thunderstorms rolled through. I've storm chased in the past but in February it's a bit early to be setting up all the gear....heck this year's official NWS spotter training class is tonight which is usually held before our severe weather season begins. At around 9:30 last night a group of us are outside on the covered deck when the lightning really picked up and then off to the West we spotted a wall cloud, then a funnel cloud, then it turned into one of the meanest looking wedge tornadoes..... couple that with the TV weather people freaking out as they had their own spotters chasing it and needless to say we didn't stick around to do any cute photography of our own, it was down to the basement for us.
The storm passed less than 2 miles from where we were and you could hear it...but it wasn't the classic freight train roar that sticks in my mind this morning. It was the fucking whistling wind. This storm was sucking up all the wind into it and it made the most eery sound I've heard. Then there was the hail...the yard was covered with golfball sized hail. Literally covered.
All in all 2 miles seems like a long ways away...but when the weather service says the tornado was 1/2 mile wide at one point...it's pretty fucking scary. And we've got 3 more months of this to go! It's pretty fucking crazy.
~~~~~~~~
Oh, and one other good thing....I left my job 1 week ago today, walking out the door at 3:30 pm. Here it is one week later and I have an interview at 3 pm today for a federal job...it would be a major accomplishment if I can land it and I've been told I'm in a front runner status. I hope I get it....even if it means I have to go back to work earlier than I fucking expected.
