Today I went to the NJ DMV (Never will I ever call you the MVC, you are the DMV, deal with it and the negative connotation that DMV implies; you deserve it) fully expecting to get my license renewed. It’s the first Tuesday in the month of June, it’s 4:45pm, they don’t close til 7:30pm — it’ll be fine.
How wrong I was.
Ornery. That’s the only way to describe how I am feeling today. Ornery is a good word. If it’s not an SAT word I’d be disappointed. Edit: I almost missed out an a glorious opportunity: I’d be ornery if ornery wasn’t an SAT word. I don’t know if that actually works. I think it does. English is weird. Whatever. I’ve said it, I can’t un-say it.
Today’s (the weekly post for this week) is brought to you by Mike, the Ornery bugger. It’s going to be a bunch of things that have me REALLY annoyed at the moment. Not RAGE AGAINST THE WORLD annoyed, more: come on man, use your damn brain. I tweeted out a few of these, but I realized I should just blog it out and fill my self-imposed (currently on-schedule) blog quota for the week (for those not keeping track: the plan was to do one blog post a week for the entire year).
Sigh.
It’s been a week. I was going to follow-up on a previous post about Zabbix API and getting a working status display going, but either Dell or Pitt-Ohio threw a wrench in the works today. We’re not sure who mucked it up, but someone mucked it up and we’ve spent the last two days cleaning it up.
On 3/17 I was driving home from work and I got cut off by a Comcast van.
I sent a request in to their support company to let them know (I’m not a customer so I didn’t expect to hear anything back). I did get a reply, but it was a boilerplate response.
Welcome to 2016! New beginnings! Huzzah! Everyone gets a fresh start, a new slate, it’s time to make the most of what we’ve got and do the best we can!
And for some people, the best they can is a bag of shit.
Time for the rant.
I was driving home from WaWa (yay WaWa! The one on 27 and Cozzens Lane in North Brunswick) on Rt 27, when a Black Mitsubishi Lancer (NJ License Plate starting L11, I think) pulls a hard left turn onto Rt 27 from Sinclair Blvd or Kingsberry Dr. As soon as they completes the turn onto Rt 27 they lob 2 or 3 bags of McDonalds trash OUT OF THEIR WINDOW and onto someone’s lawn.
Normally, I don’t get too upset at people on the road (anymore) but this? This pissed me off. It is January 1st. It is a new year! And what did they think? Shit my car is full of crap and I don’t know what to do with it. I KNOW! I’ll throw it out my window and make it SOMEONE ELSE’S PROBLEM. ASSHOLES. I am so mad. I was so mad that I nearly sped up to them and threw my coffee out my window at them. The only thing that prevented it is the fact that I REALLY needed coffee this morning. Afternoon. Whatever. You know what I mean.
So if anyone sees a Black Mitsubishi Lancer with NJ plate L11-??? please let me know where they go so I can make sure to leave a present on their car. What goes around comes around.
Now time for the promise: More frequent posts. I know, that’s vague as hell, but I’m not gonna commit to a schedule just yet (because I don’t get paid for this and I don’t do ads on my site so it’s all for giggles anyways). That being said, I will try and update as often as I can, and I am going to start with at least once every 2 weeks.
Let’s start 2016 off right and treat each other awesomely, and not like the dick rockets in the Lancer I saw this afternoon.
Sidenote: Maybe it’s time to invest in a good dashcam for my car so you won’t just immediately think “He’s full of bs.” — time to browse Amazon.
That’s all for now.
