(no subject)
There are some websites and boards that I lurk on. I admit it. I am not going to claim that I am super popular and I am hiding from my fans that want to im, pm and any other kind of m me. I just like to be able to drop in and look around and not participate. Drive by surfing.
Does that make me a bad community member? Maybe. But I feel like I have made my contributions and if I don't have anything to add constructively, I shouldn't say anything. I don't want to stir up any wank because let's face it, there is more than enough of that in real life, so no need to create more for someone else's Fortress of Solitude.
A board that I like to play on has started a trial of no more anonymous log ins. If you are there, everyone knows it and can see where you are. I guess there have been some issues of people being little secret squirrels and stealing nuts from there and then throwing said nuts all over the rest of the web. Tsk tsk. Now I am in a bit of a quandary. Do I still do my drive bys, and deal with the possibility people may see me, or just wait and only go there when I feel ready to face the world. I am one of those last few people that thinks that they are anonymous when they are on the web (yes, I know...), so I am not sure how I feel about this all. I fully realize and accept that it is completely within the rights of the folks running the site to run it however they see fit. Their money, their time and effort, their decision. I hate it when a few morons ruin things.
I also hate the following:
- The fact that all of a sudden my roots are showing and they are predominantly WHITE. Stupid white hair. I am not nearly old enough to have this much white hair.
- The my place of employment has looked to the Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol for funding. We are going to end the year $600,000 over budget because they had some fantasy unrealistic budget that they created last year. Little Simba said that maybe people will lose their jobs, who knows. Didn't say we were safe so the fact that he and the rest of his cohorts are going to be treated to a wonderful lunch in a private room at the Oceanaire, makes me want to kick things, and the lunch of course will be on the clock. Which speaking of clocks, there is a new payroll system and now EVERYONE is required to clock in and out. If I have to hear one more VP bitch about their hours and how unfair it is and how hard they work I am going to yodel. Although, it was funny to see one of them come in on their day off to work a few extra hours (which was a few hours on youtube).
- I can not get warm. I am freezing my cookies off.
- My vision has been getting a little wonky and when I went to the eye doctor, she told me that my nearsightedness has vastly improved (wut?) but my stimatism has gotten much worse so now all of my glasses are too strong but not strong enough. I have, lets just say lots of pairs, so boo to unforseen budget breakers.
- When I called home to let me folks know I would be able to visit for turkey day, my mom told me I may not want to make the 4.5 hour drive. It would seem that it is incredibly selfish of me to just visit for a day. It isn't fair to her or the rest of the family when I am only there to visit for a day or two.
- Lj right now because it is being very uncooperative.
