Cell Phone Rip Off or LDI my ass!
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008You gotta love the Cell phone Companies. It’s not enough that we have some how acquiesced to paying hundreds of dollars a month for cell phone service. No they have to rip you off on the equipment as well. Average Cell phones cost hundreds of dollars and the top of the line models can cost […]
Home Depot Math Wizards
Thursday, October 18th, 2007Several weeks ago I moved into a new apartment. The apartment was unfurnished so I headed down to Home Depot to pick up some shades for the bedroom windows.
Before heading to Home Depot, I carefully measured the width and depth of the window frame and wrote down the dimensions. The window was 29 […]
What are you, kidding me?
Monday, October 15th, 2007I’m Pissed Off!
I am constantly amazed at how many new and creative ways companies find to rip you off! I’ve been a Cingular customer for years. First Cingular Wireless, was 60-percent owned by SBC. With the re-branding it was a little confusing, but the service was about the same. Now Cingular has merged with AT&T […]
Public Service Announcement
Friday, October 5th, 2007I just got up to get some water and almost walked right into a woman of somewhat generous proportions. This brings me to today’s rant.
An open letter to my fellow cube farm dwellers:
Here in the United States, when driving on our roadways we keep to the right. I think it is an unwritten […]
Freedom of Choice
Thursday, October 4th, 2007For weeks now, Cube Pirate has been engaged in an utterly meaningless tug of war with the night cleaning crew. When they come to empty his trash bin, they place it in a different location than where he likes to keep it. In his cubicle-induced neurosis, Cube Pirate takes this personally. Convinced they are trying […]

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Are there any other industries where “Between 11-2pm” actually means 4:30pm, with a return trip at 6:30pm to fix a previous mistake?
A/C Fiasco
Thursday, August 16th, 2007I visited my friend Brad’s new 4th floor apartment last weekend. When I got there he was disgruntled due to the fact that he lugged an 11,000btu A/C up there only to find out that I didn’t fit in the wall cut-out. I proceeded to laugh at him, and enjoy his misery.
A few […]
Salt in the wound
Wednesday, August 15th, 2007Just when I thought it was bad enough being in my windowless cubicle on a gorgeous late summer day, a buddy/soon-to-be-roommate IMs me:
Bob oh sure
Bob called out sick
Bob goin to the beach
Me you bastard
Me didnt you already have Monday off?
Bob yeah
Bob i’m “sick” today
Bob i had to i went in yesterday and wanted to kill myself
Bob […]
Serenity now
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007The other day I woke up around 4:30 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I finally just got up to face the cubicle. I figured at least I would be able to leave in time to get an oil change, which I had to do anyway before a road trip this weekend. I called […]
