Green Is The New Gold

I f*$#ing hate spammers. I am getting 80+ comments a day now that I have to delete. I don’t want to lock stuff down and I don’t want to have to put up a captcha. That’s just not fair to normal people.

SPAMMERS RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE!!!

Why? Why?!? How do they find sites and why do they do this crap?

That reminds me of a story I saw last week… this article about “green” web pages where there is also a link to this site selling some tools for “managing your websites environmental footprint” OMFG YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS! I should worry about MY footprint when there are spammers forcing me to lock down registration on my forums (which IS captcha’d, btw) and creating 80+ comments on here each day? Where someone is “concerned for the environment” there is always someone there to make a buck off Carbon Footprint Guilt (the Catholic Guilt of the millenium).

I’ll make my website as efficient as possible so these f*$#ckers can eat up all my bandwidth and spam me twice as fast. But hey, I can feel good about my CO2 emissions while they cost me money to hock their penis extension pills that DON’T work (or so I hear).

Now taking suggestions for new domain names.

Random Thoughts

1. Justin Timberlake sounds like a girl. (WTH does “Lovestoned” mean anyway? Does he get the Business Time munchies?)
2. There’s a snow pile in the back of the building that looks like a “weenie” sticking up out of the ground.

Wellness… or Not

So there is this concept of a wellness room where one can “be well” in the workplace (aka for nursing mothers to get their groove on in private cuz let’s face it, no one wants to see that). So I’m humming along for months being the only one using the room and gradually more women are having babies and coming back to work when finally one day I notice that the room is increasingly *not* clean. Someone isn’t wiping up the counter after themself. Now, ordinarily I’d say that’s par for the course around here and not be bothered too much by it but this is human bodily fluid we’re talking about here. You wouldn’t shrug your shoulders at seeing a drop of blood next to the coffee machine, would you? You wouldn’t politely step over a puddle of vomit on the floor without batting an eye, no you wouldn’t. So why does someone think it’s okay to leave their drippings all over the counter? To make matters better, there aren’t any cleaning materials in the room except for the bottle of dishsoap I donated out of selfish need.

Clean your shiznit, ladies. I don’t want to have to start wearing a hazmat suit.

Oh I almost forgot the stalking part of this whole topic. Imagine coming out of the bathroom stall after taking a nice liesurely poo only to find someone standing against the wall opposite the door staring you in the face as you come out. Don’t forget that there is a perfectly usable and private stall next door that is open and ready for use. Instead, this person is lying in wait outside the door only you didn’t know it because you were wrapped up in your poo-taking thinking you were in complete privacy unknowing someone was staring at you through the door.

Wellness + Privacy = Important. Use the other room or come back later when the door is open. Don’t stand outside waiting especially when there’s a perfectly usable room available. You can do your thing without a sink, your parts won’t melt if you don’t get them washed within 2 seconds of use.

Only a couple more weeks of this crap, thankfully. What was a nice, peaceful experience has turned stressful, gross and annoying and daughter gets the short end of that poo-covered stick.
