I don't wanna work ...
With nothing pressing to do, and being throughly sick of a PM who thinks that she can do my job better than I can, when she's botching up her own job and constantly pushing off her tasks onto everyone else, it's time to make a journal entry!
So squeee! Bless the people who invented Youtube - I've rediscovered my love for all things MMC and *N Sync. Although they really need to upload more MMC clips. If I can ever get my new computer working (had dead RAM), my new spiffy ultra fancy video card has a TV out cable and I can attempt to give it a shot at making my own clips. I need 'Mislead' and 'Got No Shame' - I think I need to go rescue my tapes, which are sitting somewhere in the garage being nibbled on by mice. Oooh. 'Do you want to get funky' too.
Youtube also has video from JC at Justin's concert at Roseland after the VMAs! New single SQUEEE. Dude, it needs to leak, like, NOW. Going into withdrawal. :( when you PLAY. WITH. FIRE. YOU. GET. BURNED. Gah. Nina, do you still talk with Rhiannon? I need someone to squee over JC with.
Random MMC comments, brought upon by watching (ok, listening to them because I'm afraid someone's going to walk past, stare at moving figures on my screen, and wonder why I'm not working) clips now on Youtube.
- I wonder if the contract the teers signed mandated them a mandatory number of appearances each season? Just wondering, since the most random teers make appearances in the weirdest places. I can't think of any specific instances now, but it would be something like JC, Tony, and Matt singing away, and then suddenly from the corner of the screen Kevin would pirouette in. WTF yo?
- The Internet is harsh. Nobody likes Josh or Lindsey. OUCH.
- Every single time I watch Be Good to Me from 7th season, I'm really, horribly, bemused. They chose arguably 4 of the best singers on the show in JC, Rhona, Christina, and Tate for backup, and all they did was SPEAK their background vocals. Hey, I can yell out "WHY CAN'T YOU BE!" 15 times too. Hire me. (Cough cough - this would have been a good time to insert the lesser used teers for their mandatory appearances.)
- Let's Get Together from 6th season was another WTF moment. Who thought it'd be a good idea to bring in a Star Trek theme? Love the song, love the dancing, but I have trouble taking it seriously when Rhona and Matt start banging on a space lander with fake hammers.
- OMG. I pulled up Stone Cold Gentleman from 4th season. ARE THEY ALL ON HELIUM? This is frigging hilarious - in a really awfully bad way.
- I need to find all of those old MMC pictures I have saved somewhere on my computers. I think they're split on like ... 3 computers. If someone has a bunch of really random teer pictures, particularily group pictures, share the love! :) I promise to do the same if I can get my new comp working.
Well, I'm finally getting around to building my own computer. Ok, I cheated. Steven came home for the labor day break and I had him build it. The RAM is dead though - failed Memtest and needs to be RMA'd. So once I do that today and get it back, I finally have to get my hands into the box and install it and then rerun Memtest and install Windows. Everyone, cross your fingers that it works. I am not very hardware inclined. Then maybe I can join some of you in the world of Guild Wars. Until then, I'm stuck with my laptop and Diablo II.
I had my performance review at work a few days ago. My boss reiterated his desire to get me off my current project and put me on a coding project. Yay! I'm apparently doing well on my current project (the one that sucks). As my boss put it, "It's both good and bad for you. Good, in that you're so good they don't want to let you go. Bad, in that, uh, they won't let you go." Boo. I'm going into overdrive training a new guy though - encouraged by my boss in that if I can train this new guy fully, my client will release me faster and he can take my place. Unfortuantely, he needs some help. Who in the world looks at NAM and pronounces it NOM? And it's not an accent issue. Oh dear. This might be awhile.
Heard around the block - "Daddy, it's a WEINER doggie! I want one!" To which my weiner doggie turned around and looked curiously at the shrieker, and I symphathized, since I was that girl 5 years ago. Cally is immensely popular in my neighborhood. Never underestimate the power of a horribly cute furry little dog. I'm amazed that he's so well liked, since he's also the same dog that stands in the backyard / in my bedroom window and barks angrily at all passerbys (and thin air).
