Yea, it's spendy. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on myself, but my daughter would like it. Also, I've enjoyed his comics for a long time, so I can rationalize some of it that way. Pay him back for past enjoyment. The only thing she's really asked for is school books, and that's not much fun; well school books, and a trip to Georgia so she can see her boyfriend graduate boot camp. Her mother bought her a ticket for that, and I got the books.

Department meeting for the next 2.5 hours. If there is a God, please strike me by thy lightning immediately.

I had a coworker who figured out roughly what everyone's salaries were and made an app that figured out the cost of meetings. He'd tell his boss - "That just cost $2,300". Eventually streamlining began. 😛

Edit: If you're Cost Plus, you're screwed. Bring your phone.
 
I feel your pain brother, I've got an asynchronous group project going and I'm trying to coordinate with everybody to get the thing moving.
 
I spent over an hour figuring out exactly how the power draws of my system's components got divided across the separate 12v rails... My Enermax supposedly has three. Werd.

Edit: And I'm pretty sure the Taco Bell I had for lunch just came out as a liquid.

lol that's great. Most meetings REALLY are a waste of time too. I totally don't miss those from when I was in IT. Some of them were useful but most were not. My favourite is when my coworker and I were literally in the middle of racking the new SAN and the IT manager barges in calling a meeting and when he said now, he meant NOW, like literally drop what you're doing. We figured we could take the 10 seconds it took to line it up right with the rails, but no he started yelling at us. So we had to put it on the ground and leave it there. The meeting was basically him complaining about why the SAN deployment was so slow. Uhh maybe because you keep pulling us away from the project?
 
Checking into the Hilton, I found out that my hotel room was way at the end of the hall, rather than being a bit closer to the elevator for quicker access. F@ck my life man.

That's brilliant!
 
Finally decided to move a big nightstand into a cramped space... Effing nightstand didn't give me anything to easily grip when moving and the tight space made it even harder. Didn't even want the piece of shit...
 
I drove past a guy with a dump bed on his pickup. He had a toolbox mounted in the bed. It bothered me that I didn't have a camera to snap a pic.
