Why in the hell do I need to download an installer which in turn downloads the software I want?

If you're one of the code monkeys responsible for this, stop it!

After a lot of consideration, and I mean a lot, I've decided to open my own business in the computer repair field. It's just going to be a simple home-based business (sole proprietorship) that I can do in my spare time. At this point I don't plan on making it a full-time gig.

I had thought about doing this before I quit my last job,...

So it's been a week and a half since I quit my job at the computer repair shop. I've learned a few things working there and a few since I quit.

I hated the pay-based-on-shop-performance model. That was complete bullshit. It was a slap in the face some weeks! It forced us to suggest work that probably wasn't worth it for the customer just so...

So I find myself facing a divorce. Not at all happy about it, but I understand. I've been married for just over 4 years, 3 of those years were wonderful, the last was not so much. The past year I've been very unhappy with life in general and my wonderful wife put up with all my bullshit for an entire year before she called it...

My two weeks are finally up. Last night was my last shift at the casino. I've worked 5 days total at the new place training. I start tomorrow morning full-time. It should be a good change and I look forward to some of the potential that the new job offers.

So I found out at work last night that someone that was hired a month after me got his promotion before me. Interesting (not really) because this person is a fucking idiot (everyone makes fun of him) and is just yet another example of how the nice(ish) guy gets fucked over!

I am done with this bullshit. I will be actively looking for another job...

So the wifey had her gallbladder removed along with 4 stones that she had started to pass. Recovery has been going fairly well. Yesterday was her first day back at work and she didn't have any problems.

At my work I finally made security level 2. What does that mean? damn little other than I am no longer on probation and I get an additional...

So I didn't get that computer manager/technician job (I was second choice.) However, the owner was impressed with my Linux skill set and is hoping to hire me as the secondary technician in a few months after the new manager gets settled in.

This is just the latest (out of probably 30 or more) example of how I never seem to be able to get...

I have several relatives that work in law enforcement (city, state, and federal). I also attended a community college (before I went to a university) as a criminal justice student. So while I do not work in law enforcement I think I have at least an understanding of it and some insights to certain things as seen through my relatives' eyes.

I think it's great...
