my sometimes-skeptical social commentary

Archive for the ‘not-funny’ Category

Over the weekend, the Jolly Ranchers on my desk were not stolen.

Nor were they eaten by the people who work in my building.

I guess Jolly Ranchers aren’t the favored candy of thieves or moochers.

I wish I could say the same for the iMac.

After all that time trying to cancel, it really looks like Vonage considers me one of their former customers.

I had this amazingly interesting idea while I was at work, but I didn’t have time to write it down, and now the idea has slipped my mind.

When I opened one of our computer labs this morning, I found a few hundred pages of a presentation on the printer–and it was still printing, more than 8 hours after the computer lab closed the night before. The person who printed it last night probably didn’t realize how long it would take to process it–with a full page for each slide, and a color background, it takes a while–more than 8 hours in this case. I deleted the remainder of the print job.

(Note: The name on the presentation is not the name of the person who printed this, so don’t blame the author.)

I got this email today:

So I clicked on the link that says I can opt out of their marketing campaign, and I got this response:

How cool is that? The CAN-SPAM law is helping me!
