CLOSE CALL.
|
Well,
I was right about the election. And I was pretty close with my projected
numbers. Bush 286, Kerry 252. Hell, I was off only by Iowa. And, uh, I think that's all I want to say about
this subject.

NEW HIRE.
|
RRRRRRED.

Hey, guess what I've been
doing this past week. I've been working at CVS. No, no, no, I'm not back there permanently.
I'm just working at John F.'s store for the next week or so to help set Christmas. I readily
admit that I miss that part of CVS (okay, that and the paychecks--heh), so I
worked out a deal with Johnny to work a few shifts to help him out.
In an odd kind of way I enjoy doing shit like that. And even better, I like the fact that I can just go in and
work on setting up Christmas and not have to deal with 80 employees and
672 different tasks. I'm just a lowly clerk at John's store. I got my
blue CVS shirt and my little nametag. It's kinda nice. Of course, once John's employees found out that I used to be a manager they began asking
me what they should be working on or how to do certain things. Ah
well.

Note: Senator John Kerry won Fairfax City thanks to me.

HAND-WRINGING.
|
FIREFOX.

Okay, maybe that isn't all I have to say about the election. Like most every other hard-core anti-Bushie, I was pretty pissed for most of the day last Wednesday.
Pissed and depressed. And I admit I pretty much avoided people for a
couple of days (er, avoided people more than I usually do). However, all this moaning and hand-wringing and
talk of how the election was rigged is getting a little old. It's done.
It happened. The majority of voters in this country prefer to have Bush
as our president. So be it. It's time to shut the hell up and start
working towards 2006 and 2008.

Question:
Anyone use the fairly new browser Firefox? I've been a faithful user of
Netscape for years (despite Netscape's unpopularity) and I was thinking
that maybe it's time to move on to something else. And no, I don't use
Internet Explorer because I just don't find it very user-friendly. I used to use IE for my
on-line banking because my bank's website wasn't Netscape compatible,
but now that it is, I've deleted the IE icon from my desktop. So any opinions out there about Firefox? Or even some of the other
browsers such as Opera or Safari? Anyone?

STOCK UPDATE.
|
Close
Call, Firefox, Gotta Support The Team, Hand-Wringing, Fucktard, New
Hire, Stock Update, and Rrrrrred. |
|
As of this morning, I briefly--briefly--made a profit on all of
my combined stock purchases. Not too shabby considering I was down over $900 at one point in time.
|
|
|
FUCKTARD.
|
GOTTA SUPPORT THE TEAM.
|
Although it does make a man proud to see hefty voter turnout, I don't
subscribe to the theory of Voting Being a Civic Duty. Actually, I'd
prefer that less people vote. Why? Well, quite
honestly, the fewer people that vote, the more my vote counts.
Yes, I am indeed a fucktard.

Did anyone
else notice in the news conference following the Red Sox' World Series
victory that Manny Ramirez used the words "I"
and "MVP" 43 times while Curt Schilling used the word "team" 67 times?
