Well that's not the problem really. There's a bug where Adobe acrobat will freeze (unrecoverable) the entire PC if you try to print a certain page of my company website using the 'Print to PDF' functionality. I'm in charge of trying to figure out why, and how to fix the issue from the website end.



Random thought of the day:

I've discovered that no matter what precautions I make, the 3-6 year olds in the sunday school class I teach will always spill a drink at some point. I've also learned that when a drink spills and is flowing over the side of a table, most kids will sit there in awe, rather than move out of the way so their clothes don't get stained red from kool-aid.

No need for tannerite if you've got a little pan of gasoline and a match.

...not that I'd know. 'Cause that would be illegal and stuff.

But it works. Helluva fireball.

Hypothetically.

Stayed up all night after work, got really drunk, played the company baseball game all day, slept for an hour, threw up on a bank, got hammered again till 5 AM, and here I am now. Good times.

I really enjoy watermelon too much. The thing is...I get full, but I still feel empty.

A bear burgled my bee hives today. I guess we will have bear meat if he comes back.

I still can't get my boss to forward emails to me instead of printing them out and giving me a hard copy.

I also can't get him to use my dry erase board instead of endless post-it notes.

I think Philly should change his movie quote to "Nobody puts baby in the corner" as a tribute to Patrick Swayze.

We waste tens of thousands of sheets of paper every year printing reports for people so they can feel important.

Why are people trying to tell me that when Marx defined communist as someone who is for the abolition of private property that is not what he meant?
