Two things:

The first amazes me. It really just nails home the concept of never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. It also makes me think that a prerequisite for customer service is failing second grade math. The thing that killed me was when the guys asks "what's the difference between 0.002 dollars and 0.002 cents?" and the CS rep says "on paper, they're exactly the same."

So, yeah. really brings my blood pressure up, there…

Thing two, is the quote of the day, which, while it is a comment on my blog, is worthy of being the quote of the day. So here ya go:

Quote of the Day:

"but of course, on the international space station they couldn't actually call it a triple barreled shot gun... they would have to call it something like a 'high velocity three-way lead delivery system' or HVTWLDS, for short." - Deedee

Tell me... if you can't see what you're shooting, then why, oh why, do you need to shoot something living?

So today was a good day, which is good, because it offsets yesterday being such a bad day. I don't particularly want to go into detail about yesterday being a bad day. It has to do with businesses, and partners, and indecisive people who think they want to be a business partner up until their fun and games gets to real, so they back out of the business only to decide the next day that they really want to start their own business doing exactly the same thing that the first business was doing and with one of the original people, so they think they can steal said person away from the original business by making comments to try to convince said person that the other partner is holding them back and that if they go with them, everything will be much better and their business will be better, and the world will be a happy fuzzy place, and they can steal the creative ideas that the original partners spent over 6 months developing and that the business partner who left put in writing that he relinquished all rights to when he left. So now I have to sue him. (if he actually does it)

Good day because of two reasons. 1) my go-for-cert run was bumped to a cert run, which I passed, which means I'm qualified to teach one lesson at NASA now. 2) (and far more importantly) I got my name tag. So now my cube has my name on the outside of it. Now I exist!!! ((Descarte really said, "I have a nameplate, there for I am."))

(Mis)Quote of the Day:

"It's overkill... Like killing Russians with a shotgun."  - said inside the mockup of the international space station. 

So, he actually said, like killing roaches with a shotgun..  But I don't think I was the only one to misunderstand, because there was a gasp and silence afterwards.  I didn't even realize what he had actually said until later, when he said it again, but added "instead of a fly-swatter."  so, yeah.  Was relatively interesting. 

In other news, Christmas-time has officially started, methinks.  I've started actively seeking crimma gifts.  I probably should have started sooner, but up until last week, it was like 75 degrees out here.  I could not justify crimma shopping in 75 degree weather.  But then last week, it got cold.  All at once.  Seriously, it dropped 35 degrees in two hours, and stuck there. 

Ok, have to get back to work.  Later.
