Today has been the sort of day where I get accosted every ten minutes by an Instant Priority Assignment. They don't affect the entire organization, these assignments, but the person bringing them to me can't do their work until I get up and fix their computer problem. (With the exception of the woman who interrupted my lunch to say 'I know you're eating and this isn't a priority, but- as soon as you're done could you get up and make it so that I'm not in boldface any more, I can't seem to make the computer not do boldface'.) So far I have avoided doing anything more unpleasant than growling inwardly and saying 'What?' instead of 'hello' or 'yes'. I'm glad there's not much more worktime today...
For me part of the venting process is occasionally making ludicrous threats. The trouble is that I tend to make my threats with a straight face, and people may or may not take these threats seriously. Therefore, I thought I should list a few things here that are not to be believed or taken seriously if you hear or see me yelling 'em.
1. I'm moving to Canada.
2. I'm running away and joining the circus.
3. I'm gonna go join the Coast Guard/Air Force.
4. I'm gonna disappear and turn up again several months later in Poughkeepsie/Hyde Park (home of the Culinary Institute of America).
5. I'm gonna disappear and turn up several months later in whatever bit of California has the extension campus of the Culinary Institute of America in it.
6. I'm going on vacation in Alaska this summer and I'm not coming back.
7. There's a Secret Service office about fifteen miles from here. I'm applying to join.
8. I understand FEMA has a computer position open in lovely Minnesota/Wisconsin/North Dakota.
9. I've got three survival books and a guide to tanning hides and a functional hunting bow. Fifteen minutes at Sports Authority for extra arrows and broadheads and no one's gonna see me again for a year.
10. I'm gonna buy an assload of neodymium magnets and clap them onto the next computer I see.
11. I'm gonna go bow hunting for SUV's.
That's about it for now. I feel a bit better, but we'll see how the remainder of the day goes.
