Party time

Looks like everyone needs to plan a trip to Brazil…if you need to stock up that is.

Oddly Enough News Article | Reuters.com: “SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) – The Brazilian government will distribute 25 million free condoms to promote safe sex during the country’s Carnival holidays, the Health Ministry said Monday.”

Lazy people

I know I complained about people in my office before -yes we still had this soap problem last week, almost a year after I wrote that. This time, however, we have a printer issue.

This woman comes to me because she has trouble printing. I look at the printer and see that she has put two side-by-side stacks of paper in a tray that is set up for large paper. I wanted to slap her. In any printer there is either a fixed size tray or adjustable tray. in either setting the paper is always in the tray tight. 90% of the time there is a sticker for the paper size or when you look in the tray you can see where the tabs are set and what paper size they are set at. Some computer nerd didn’t set this up so you have to be a rocket scientist, they were set up so anyone could change the paper.

I get more questions about our printers, that end up with me adding paper to a printer then I do any other questions here. It’s ridiculous. I don’t understand how such lazy people stay employed. Sure it’s great to have job security by working with a few morons…but I’d rather spend my day working on other issues and not wiping people’s noses.

Blah.

Pacman lives on

So you’re a bunch of smart people and you like games…old school games. You like cell phones and surprisingly you have friends. What do you do?

You figure out a way to play Pacman with your friends using real people and cell phones for collecting points. Yes, you are that super-cool.

Praise be you are naked

I like art and I like to rip on organized religion from time to time, but this one leaves me at the crossroads. On one hand I want to praise the art, the other hand I scoff at it. On one hand I want to start going to church in Germany, the other hand I’m laughing at the pastor’s comments.

What am I talking about? A teen youth group in Germany is putting a 2006 calender with staged photos of erotic moments in the Bible; including nude scenes. Right…you think I make this crap up don’t you? Nope. Check it out at Reuters.

My favorite part of the article?

Bernd Grasser, pastor of the church in Nuremberg where the calendar is being sold, was enthusiastic about the project which is explained online at http://www.bibelkalender.de.
‘It’s just wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with their hair and their skin to the bible,’ he said.

So the pastor is excited that teenagers a taking their clothes off? Wow, that’s what I call old news…maybe we need to redefine the phrase “commit to the Bible”, because I am pretty sure church service attendance would go way up -or way down.

Night night buddy

Apparentely security is really good on some airplanes, they don’t notice when there are people on the plane that shouldn’t be there. AWESOME! I can’t wait for my trip to Mexico now.
