So some hacker managed to embed something in the Phoenix website that set off the Google police. They, correctly, marked it as a hazard and blacklisted our site.
My wife spent most of the day trying to fix it and was quite upset and frustrated by it.
According to her, because I know nothing of these things, it's got to do with the server who hosts our site and nothing at all to do with our content. I guess the server can be compromised and that's all there is too it.
So, after 7 years of having our site with the same people, we're looking to move it.
It annoys me a lot. It's not the first time something like this has happened.
I just don't understand what the people who do get out of it.

Not good

What, you may ask, is bad?
When you take your car to the shop and explain to the man which idiot lights came on while you drove home yesterday and he says “Oooo, that’s not good.”

I’m not too worried about the “service engine soon” light.
The ABS brake light does worry me. And, the electrical failure light bothers me too.
I’m hoping that the battery ran down enough that the breaks had issues or something like that.
I also hope fixing it won’t take the $1300 it took to get it to pass inspection back in July.
We’ll see.

Also in the “bad” category was last night.
The normally 2 hour drive to the show took 4 ½. Two of those hours spent in the last 3 miles to our exit on the highway. We don’t know why the road stopped, but it did.
Then, after finally getting there, we were told the show was cancelled. They meant to tell us before we left home, but forgot.
Hopefully tonight will go better.
Again, we'll see.

I’ve been waiting 5 weeks for something from my purchasing department. Twice a week I’ve sent an email to all the department heads asking for the information. Today at our weekly engineering meeting I was asked why I wasn’t done with it. I said I didn’t get the information from purchasing. The boss of the head of purchasing said he’d have him send me the information.
A couple of hours later, I get an email from purchasing with a name and phone number in the subject line with nothing in the body. I guess it is the salesman who sells our company the parts. But, I don’t know the name, part number, or anything else about the parts.
So, I send another email to the chain saying “Your providing me the name and number of our contact is only useful if I know the material we use on the panels. After 5 weeks of my asking, can you give me some reference for this material?”

And, I’m told that was “uncalled for” and I shouldn’t “rock the boat too much”.

Well, I’m a boat rocker. I sent him back a copy of every email he sent me for the last 5 weeks along with my 10 requests for data. My answer was not in any of the emails he sent.
Given this guy was just made a VP and they just sold the company to new owners, maybe I shouldn’t rock the boat.
Ah well, too late now.

So today at work I got another offer for taking care of my wife’s boyfriend over in the next town from me. This one is much more tempting as it is perfectly legal. (Unlike having him pummeled by pork chop wielding Puerto Ricans.)
Apparently one of my friends here at work has a friend on the police force of that town. They tell me that if I just provide a name and address, his driving pleasure will be in jeopardy. As it would be the police doing it, I don’t have to worry about getting thrown in jail for it….

Well, what the hell. As my wife said: “if you’re going to do the time, you might as well do he crime”.
So, I’ve decided to be the cruel, manipulative, abusive person I’ve been told I am.
After the night I had last night, I decided to do something this morning that I’ve wanted to do for a long time now. I had been reluctant to do it for many reasons, not the least being out right laziness. But, remembering Lou the other day made me think of a bunch of things and remember life is too short to put stuff off.
I know it is selfish of me to do this. But, as I said, I’ve decided to live down to expectations. So what if it’s only good for me and will cause pain (especially to me) in the long run? It’s what I want now, right?
I was worried about the legal implications, but from what I’ve read on line, I think I can get away with it.
Maybe if I had something else to do with my day I wouldn’t have chosen this. But, with no calls or visits from folks, only posts to the world about how bad I am, I decided to do what I thought was right.
So, it’s a beautiful day. I’m heading over to Northboro to do what I’ve wanted to do for ages. Who knows, maybe if it works out well I can drop by and see other folks too.
Wish me luck!

NEVER!

I don’t know who the FUCK is sending emails on my behalf to people, but STOP IT NOW!

I am more than capable of fighting my own fights. I am more than capable of saying what I want to say. I don’t need help with it. I don’t want help with it.

If you want to support me, call me, email me, visit me and talk. NEVER EVER speak for me on a subject. It is not appreciated, it is not welcomed, it is not desired.

CUT IT THE FUCK OUT!

Yesterday was the happiest day I’ve had in almost 6 weeks.

Today starts with a “you’re not welcome in my house” (as if I didn't know that already) and now has a poll at 15:1 against my wife coming back to me. And, I’m the 1.

That’s pretty sad.
