This project is going to cause me to kill people. I swear. I have to remind them of stuff every single time, and they act surprised. We've had the same approach for six months. Please stop acting like it's news.

OK, so I did laundry, which is a good thing, since I had no clean pairs of socks left. But now I have to trek out to the post office to get a package that's been there for a week already. I don't want to! It's far, and it's cold!

I do not understand why you can no longer find the non video iPods. Did Apple have all of them pulled from the shelves and destroyed? They should be a cheaper alternative. bastards.

You know what's not a cute way to deal with your project manager? "Well, if you know so much about it, why don't you write it?"

Dude, you're the subject matter expert. I have to know so much about it because you seem to have professional amnesia, and I'm trying to reign you in. But I'm not going to actually write your documents for you. I'm resentful enough about having to do your research.

If you go to store.apple.com and click on the "Special Deals" link on the lower right side, you can find some of the older iPods on sale.

msbelle, check eBay or Apple Refurb.

Christ. Now have migraine.

Fucking nifty lighting.

Good god, ita. For real? I hope you can set them down, nice and hard, because that is so unprofessional.

His boss sent me a note this morning. It was about reporting any resistance on his employees' parts. Work-avoider does not know this.

msbelle, you can find them at the (online) Apple store if you scroll way down to the "refurbished" link. But basically, yeah -- whenever they do a new model, that becomes the iPod, and not one of several.

(edit: x-post toasties!)

yeah I don't want a refurbished. And the stuff on ebay is often going for more than the new stuff (particularly minis).
