I’ve been in a meeting all day doing a proposal. My eyes are glazed over, buzzwords running through my head. I swear, if I hear a new usage of the words “portal”, “interface”, “design” or “content” I think I may have to kill someone. I am so tired of “workflows”, “processes” and “procedures”. “Roles” can bite my ass. And the acronyms… CRP… that has to to be the closest to truth in acronyms I’ve seen yet.

Meetings suck.

So, a friend of mine sent me an article about a senator who just can’t keep it in his pants. Now, this article is nothing special, but I found some really interesting points in it.

• A former employee of his won a sexual harassment case against him some year to 2 years after she birthed his child. Now, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it seems really sketchy to have a sexual harassment suite against someone you had sex with. I guess she changed her mind when he made advances following their encounter? Or she filed for sexual harassment, then gave in to his guises? Considering the charge is sexual harassment, not rape or even sexual assault, one would have to consider the sex consentual. Then again, I don’t know Tenn. sex laws nor am I familiar with this suite, so it could be that was all that they could pin on him.
• During their divorce, his ex-wife drove her car through his house. Yet he still lives with her (along with his other house that has his long time girlfriend in it). She still sees him daily. She is 6 months pregnant with his child.
• He is using a law he authored to try to reduce his child support payments. On the surface, it sounds like an abuse of power. Granted, it doesn’t say when the law was written or passed, or any details regarding that information. Could be extremely coincidental. I could go research it, but eehh… not worth it.

Well, my headphones went out on me the other day. One of the ear pieces is falling off, I’ve had to resolder the wires several times, they are just falling apart. So I go get some new ones, and thought “wireless, that would be cool”. So I do some quick research, and decide on the Sennheiser ones. These guys are supposed to be the shit when it comes to headphones. Well, that sorta fits…

First off, they are very light. Light is usually good, but when it comes to speakers, light usually means cheap. And that’s exactly what they were. Now, I don’t mean cheap as in price, cause I paid $140 for them, but cheaply constructed.

Secondly, it’s using the 900MHz signal. I guess I never noticed how much static is on that signal, but it’s worse than listening to FM radio. Just full of static.

The speakers are really crappy sounding as well. Just cheap, like paper cones. No warmth to them at all, no base reproduction.

Lastly is the battery life. Initially you have to charge them for 24 hours. That in itself isn’t that dramatic. Each charge to full after that is 14 hours. If that isn’t bad enough, a full charge gets you a little over 4 hours of use. I couldn’t believe that when I read it in teh manual, so I had to test it out myself. I was flabbergasted…

Bottom line, these bitches are going back tonight.

Well, I accidentally let my domain expire. And then right as it was coming available again to reregister, someone snagged it and it is up for sale. It’s not worth $60 to me, so this is what I am using now. No biggie, just gotta get the word out. Thought I would make the informal announcment/acknowledgement.
