A Passing

Briefly... Early this morning my father passed away. He was 82 years old. He was kind, loving, always concerned, passionate about his politics, dedicated to his family and as good a man as I could ever hope to be. He was an architect and designed buildings and renovations that were built as close as... Sign in to see full entry.

The Bigger The Lie...

I haven't written here for a while, but a lot has changed in my life. And I've had to take some time to clear my head. The biggest news is that I have a new job. Thank God. And now I am slowly learning to live like a normal human being again. I have weekends off. I work regular hours. And at the end... Sign in to see full entry.

On the mend

Biopsy results, and excision, a veiled threat, and an interview. Sorry it's been awhile blogit. So let's start with some more drama at the company. It is common practice for all managers to make statements designed to marginalize people, and managers at the company seem expecially practiced at this.... Sign in to see full entry.

The One Thing That Really Makes Me Angry

In follow up to a previous post I want to talk some more about computers and protecting yourself. Apple has a very closely guarded network of support proffessionals for your mac. If you need support you can contact Apple by phone or take your computer to an Apple Store. You can also contact what is... Sign in to see full entry.

What is a Tertiary Hard Drive?

Here is an example of how painfully theatrical some employees can be. I'm speeking of those who are desparate to feel they are important and intellectually superior to others. One of my biggest pet peeves is the pretentious use of language, or flat out using the wrong word while attempting to sound... Sign in to see full entry.

True Story

Last night, I stayed in a hotel to try and get a good nights rest. My commute makes getting to work almost as much of a pain as the work itself. Also, the people who live above me seem to have lead in their heels and every one of their steps sounds like an old WW II movie where the 500 lb bombs are... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't be a bitch, and remember to smile

When I am working, I like to be able to focus on my work - not have to deal with constant chatter in my ears, someone hovering over me and checking what I'm doing, or speeches about what we should hold important. Yet this is the way we are treated at the company. The company has become so obsessed... Sign in to see full entry.

Hack Attack - Windows vs Mac

A comment by annicita saying that she thought "windows is much easier to hack" gave me the idea to try and clarify this issue. First off, 'hacking' covers a lot of ground and can mean lots of different things. If you get your hands on someone's administrator password and log into their computer... Sign in to see full entry.

Protecting the Brand

At the company managers often use the phrase "protecting the brand." What does that mean exactly? It means protecting an idea - specifically, the idea people have in their heads when they think about Apple. After I had purchased a Powerbook back in 2004, a friend of mine where I used to work asked... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Eris, the goddess of discord in greek mythology, was not invited to the wedding Zeus held for Thetis and Paleus. She showed up anyway. And when she was denied entry into the ceremony, she inscribed the words "To the Fairest" on a golden apple and tossed it into the crowd of guests. The apple provoked the narcissism of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite who each thought it should belong to themselves. And a feud of vanity began that would eventually lead to the Trojan War. I mean to cause some trouble, but for the right reason - at least I think so. I may embellish the truth, I may even lie to make a point. But I'm doing no worse than the company I've worked for. Ultimately, I just want people to know the real nature of .
