Precaution

I got a notice from my ISP today the RSS feed for my calendar might have been hacked. [1]I didn’t even notice the calendar had an RSS feed.  oops!  I don’t really use the RSS feed for the calendar however, if you added it to your reader, please delete it.  I have also disabled it.

Work It

I flexed my schedule today and went into work early.  I had to attend a meeting with the DHR people regarding our base wages/compensation.  Under our contract, our dept qualifies [1]every year w/o fail for a special opener to renegotiate for higher wages.  Anyway, I had to be up at 7:30 am.  You know how happy I was about that. 

Only 3 other departments qualified and our case was the most compelling of everyone present.  The City often pleads poverty in attempt to deny us any increases at all.  However, with the recent news coverage on us and emergency services in general, we were hoping for some extra leverage.  The numbers don’t lie.  Our case is so cut/dry it borders on ridiculous that the City would even attempt to deny us an increase. 

We presented our case methodically and factually.  We didn’t make accusations or wild statements.  DHR, in a rare show of trust, even complimented us on our fair and honest dealings in the past.  We took this as a good signal however, money talks and with SF claiming a 338 million dollar deficit this year, we have no idea how the chips will fall.  Our proposal wouldn’t really change anything on a citywide scale so it is feasible. 

So now, I’m all done for the day.  I got off at 1900 and I’m a tired teddy.  I was all set to come home and take a nap however, the roomie promptly informed me he had a skiddish trick coming over.  Here I sit scarfing down dinner and cranky.

If you are on my bloglist and you haven’t updated your blog in over a month, you got cut today.  You know how to reach me if you come back from the dark side.

Did anyone else notice that the captcha’s for blogger were hella hard to read this past week?  They seemed to have fixed the issue but it has made commenting a challenge.  The goal is to prevent sp@mmers, not everyone.  Me thinks someone got canned.

Adam from thisboyelroy and Brad were here apt. hunting here in SF this weekend.  They found a place pretty quickly and it sounds lovely.  We got a chance to hang out..  I must admit, I really have missed them.  We went to see Ironman.  I enjoyed it immensely.  I wasn’t too keen on Robert Downey Jr in the lead role but he did a superb job.  Some of the meaningful undertones of the movie were a tad rushed in my opinion.  However, the movie had good acting, good plot, good special effects.  It accomplished what I like to call plausible believability.

I was mean to someone this weekend.  I regretted it immediately but I felt cornered.  I knew what he was doing with his passive aggressive comments.  I should have risen above it. [1]One of my best friends is a master at being passive aggressive so I should be immune by now.  I made an off-hand comment and he pounced on it trying to divine some hidden derogatory meaning.  I’m not a duplicitous person.  If I think something, I will tell you.  I don’t need to use sly tactics to get my point across.  However, I’m a big believer in two wrongs don’t make a right so I still feel bad for losing my temper.

Why are all the models in the Valtrex commercials so hot?  One would assume the genital herpes is only spread by hot straight men.

Back in the Saddle

Nothing like a little dirty talk to stimulate the blog numbers. lol  And I can report after 3 nights in a row of shenanigans, Mr. Happy has insisted on a break. 

In other news, it is FRIDAY!  My work day hasn’t even started yet however, I’m glad the weekend is upon me. 

I also heard a dirty rumor about my buddy brettcajun.  I can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of said rumor however, I heard my fellow cajun might have ‘been served’ during his last tennis competition.  I fully expect Brett to give me his unbiased response. *G* 

Confuscious Say…

My little post yesterday set off a shit storm of emails.  Sorry, I forget sometimes my reader base is constantly changing. 

The long term readers knew what I meant however, I got a ton of confused emails over the NSFW post.  Yes, I restrict the more explicit parts of blog. [1]There is more explicit? Yes, a shocker huh?  Mainly, as family and coworkers sometimes stumble over it.  Frankly, I don’t care to share my exploits with them.

If you care to see such things, you have to register NOT subscribe.  Subscribing just shoots you an email when I update.  Once, you’ve introduced yourself, I’m happy to boost your access level.  Click the lower left link marked "login/register".

Be warned, your universal WordPress login will not work (yet).  I’m looking at some plugins that might change that.  However, you can recreate the same user/password to keep it simple.  I know, "God, what a hassle" right?  Well them’s the breaks, suck it up if you want access to the nitty gritty. *g* 

So there you have it.  The grand scheme revealed.  Nothing so exciting as many of you inquired.  Just a modicum of restriction.  No, I’m not doing porn. [2]that one made me laugh No, I’m not ashamed, I’m just not stupid.  No, I’m not telling hidden stories about other bloggers. [3]Good lord, some of you need to get out more.

Again, sorry for the confusion.  In my defense, I am 37 now.  They say the memory is first to go.  (shaddup Brett)
