Quick little update today, I wanted to put up some interesting media from yesterday's trip to Six Flags but didn't quite have the time. So:
News of the Moment
Payphones are going up to fifty cents around here. The Washington Post had an interesting voyeuristic piece on what you can overhear around payphones. It's interesting how it's becoming a bit of class thing. (via Spike Report)
Funny of the Moment
In my old office we had a power cut that lasted an entire day once because
some British Gas people managed to do something nasty to the electrical
cables outside. Drilled into them, or something, I dunno. Anyway, our
office manager sent a letter of complaint to Britsh Gas about the fact that
due to their incompetence we couldn't use or PCs or anything for a whole
day.
A couple of weeks later the letter arrived back with a post-it-note on it
that simply read "Gas powered computers?" and nothing else. He was going to
write back with another complaint, but decided it really wasn't worth it.
When I'm lying on my death bed, looking back at my life, one of my fondest
memories will be of my manager storming into my room, almost shaking with
rage, and showing me that letter with the little yellow post-it-note
attached.
