Walk wasn't too bad, but thanks! Of course, I haven't looked at what my hair has done...

I'll probably even be able to beg a ride off someone this evening if it is still raining. I don't actually mind the walk when the weather isn't crap.

I had a boring dream last night. It was just basically normal stuff in a normal day. Usually my dreams are weird so it was a big disappointment.

I've been watching Battlestar Galatica while treadmilling in the morning. When I get done I start to heard drums and see flashes from my day ahead. I'm making the kids' lunches. I'm walking the kids to the bus stop. I'm in front of my work computer. It's me in front of my work computer. It's me in front of my work computer again. It's me in the cockpit of a Viper...no...wait... that's me in a Honda Civic at a stoplight. It's me making dinner. It's me telling the kids to stay in bed (that's the dramatic scene).

Sort of boring, but on balance better than being hunted to extinction by intelligent toasters and replicants.

A man says to his psychiatrist, "Last night, I dreamed I was making love to my girlfriend." The psychiatrist says, "You have an unconscious desire to fly in an airplane!"

Ba-dum DUM.

I swear, I think my corporate employers have the dumbest internal computer services department for a international computer company ever. They are enforcing stronger password rules. Except, get this: it also applies to your old password on the password change form. So if you go in and try to change it, it rejects your old password for not adhering to those rules. So you can't change it on your own.

Instead of fixing the code, they are asking you call the helpline.

sarameg, you're so naive.

oh, I'm sorry, but that is hilarious.

Yeah, that is suboptimal.

Here's a joke my high school girlfriend told me:

What did the bag of potato chips say to the battery?

"If you're Eveready I'm Frito-Lay."

They routinely do shit like this. I can't believe they get contracts to build this stuff for other people! Recalls some infamous contracts. Oh, wait.

Nearly 100K employees. Calling a helpline to change their password?

"If you're Eveready I'm Frito-Lay."

I hear that afterwards the bag looked Ruffled.
