Not Today...

I don't think I have any posts scheduled for today so it may be a bit slow around here. I worked until 9pm last night and was pretty tired so I didn't get anything else written. I will have "This Week on America's Most Wanted" up mid-morning but that's about it.

My manager at my farthest store was off for the last couple of days and with it being Friday night I went in for shift change. Pulled a few items that I thought they might be running low on and checked with the servers and cooks to make sure they didn't need anything else. They waited until I had been home for 45 minutes or so and called me back. "We're out of lettuce". I said that if they wanted they could drive to the next exit and I would make sure that the folks working would give them enough to get through the night. The woman that called me refused, citing the fact that she wasn't willing to leave and lose tips. I don't see how she would unless they are so fucking greedy there that they won't watch each other's stations. I told her that I had already been there and asked if they needed anything and wasn't going to leave the house and spend 45 minutes to get them two or three heads of lettuce when they had the opportunity to tell me about it prior to that. She was not happy in the least.

So then one of my other stores started calling me shortly after 1am this morning. Needless to say I haven't had much sleep. I am pretty pissy this morning.

The Georgia-Alabama game is tonight and we are supposed to be going to a party at a friend's house this evening. Being as how the manager that's off this weekend has left me woefully understaffed I may or may not be going at all. Asshats.

Just needed to rant. This week on AMW will be up in a couple of hours.

I Might Need Some of These in Helen...

I just ran across this sucker last night and thought it was funny as hell. While I can really see the need for a product such as this I couldn't stop laughing...

Thursday Thongs - NSFW

Jasonr611 was kind enough to let me use his photo "Hooked" for this week's Thursday Thong, go check out more of his work if you get the chance...

The pic is in the extended entry. For some reason the javascript isn't working anymore to expand it on the main page so you'll have to click the header or permalink to view the whole thing now. I think it's the lightbox plugin that's screwed it up.

Big Buttons

Got some of these via email last night and I thought I would share.

Don't Ask Me to try the Chocolate Milk...

ahh. Mother's Milk. The drink of life. Children have been drinking from the fountain of wonderment for thousands and thousands of years. It carries nutrients and all the thinks one needs to grow healthy and strong until you are old enough to eat and drink on your own.

Hans Locher is cooking with it in his Swiss restaurant, Storchen.

Yuck. As much as I am a titty man and like nothing better than to suckle the last thing I want whipped into my soup is breast milk. Something about it just gives me a tummy ache.

Hey, how 'bout some swiss cheese!

Tramp Stamp Tuesday

Just because I've been busy posting about other stuff lately did you think I would forget about tramp stamp Tuesday? Well, yeah actually I forgot but here it is, a bit late but it is still Tuesday around here.

My Take on Google Chrome

So I decided to check out Google Chrome and downloaded it the other day to check it out. I am back to using Flock again as of this morning but I am still not happy with it.

I really liked Chrome and probably could have come to use it as my default browser. As a matter of fact I had even set it as default until last night. It is faster than Firefox, Flock and IE 7 (and 8) on my system and used quite a bit less memory. I also like the way it compartmentalizes the tabs and memory usage. If one of them became non-responsive the rest were fine and I could kill the task without crashing down the other 25 tabs that I might have open at the same timr. I was very impressed with it. Using Flock, Firefox or IE for a couple of hours and a bunch of tabs and windows open I usually have to kill the whole process after a couple of hours and forget using iTunes and actually listening to music at the same time. WIth Chrome I was able to not only listen to iTunes but keep several different windows open and working at the same time.

So why the switch back to Flock?

I spent two and a half hours working on a post last night. Several thousand words. Shadowscope was apparently offline for 40 minutes or so for some reason so the last autosave Movabletype had done missed 3/4 of the post. I wasn't aware of it because my connection was fine. Anyway, I went to publish the entry and of course got a DNS error. When I tried to go back to the previous page most of the entry was gone. I wanted to cry. With Firefox and Flock I can spend an hour or two working on an entry and if for some reason my draft isn't saved on the server I can go back to the posting form and most or all of it will still be there. I have even used Task Manager to kill flock and when I reopened a new browser window it has saved my entered text. That in itself is worth sticking with to me.

I don't even mind not having access to plugins. If Google would add in saving of text entered into forms I would switch back in a heartbeat. It's just not worth losing two frigging hours of work.

I used to use Windows Live Writer to post blog entries but it's too damn buggy, which is why I switched back to the MT interface in the first place.

Rest In Peace Jerry Reed

That good old boy Jerry Reed has died from complications from emphysema at the age of 71. Anyone whoe gre up in the seventies will remember Reed from Smokey and the Bandit as well as other films later on. He and Kris Kristofferson sort of paved the way for country music stars to get into Hollywood.

I was about 11 when Smokey and the Bandit came out I loved that damn movie. Of course Burt Reynolds was the coolest to an eleven year old but old Jerry, he sure could sing. Plus he's an Atlanta boy. There's not too many of us born and bred her that are still around.
