"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself."
Jessamyn West

I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, "how'd that work out for ya?"

I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting??

His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed celphone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He comes home last evening, stating that his "idiot history teacher" confiscated is celphone. The idiot also told him, since it was the second time he had got caught, he could only get the phone back by having one of his parents personally come up to the school to obtain it. He went on to say "I told him, that is MY personal property and he HAS to give it back to me at the end of class" The teacher did not. "Can you BELIEVE that he did that?" he went on to state.

Dumbfounded, I asked him SLOWLY, "so let me get this straight, this IDIOT, took your celphone (the same celphone that you don't pay a FUCKING penny for) away from you because you're STUPID enough to knowingly break the rules and use it during class not once but TWICE??!! Do you have any clue how how ridiculous the statement you just made is?"

The blank stare and glassy eyed pause told me all I needed to know.

"You Have 6,184 Unread Messages" (local spam magnet)   Got a call yesterday from an employee that stated he never checks his email and wanted me to look at something for him.  I wander back to his workstation and he points to his inbox in Outlook.  6,184.  That’s how many unread email messages he had.  I asked him if he uses his email address to sign up for things and he swears he doesn’t.  Yeah, right.  After deleting all his messages I notice that during the deletion time, he had already received five new junk emails.  I had investigated some enterprise spam programs for Exchange, but never followed through.  A former co- worker pointed me to ORF ( Open Filter Relay from vamsoft ).  They have a 30 day trial version with full functionality.  So I installed and configured it. It took less than 10 minutes, and I was dropping junk email off the server like a bad habit.  The program has a real time statistics counter.  F...

Gettin' The Hell Outta Dodge Middle school graduation was tonight. @ was really pumped. Not at graduating 8th grade, but finally leaving SPX. Grades 1-6 at the Catholic school were fine. The last 2 years, though were a royal pain in the ass. The teachers have been there too long are underpaid and had lost interest in guiding these kids. I think I was as happy as he was after the ceremony. I won't miss dealing with those people at all. Right before we left, I told him it was time for us to give him his present. We had gotten him a cel phone but I want to string him along a bit. On Tuesday when we switched plans both * and myself got new phones also. That night, we were showing off the features of the new phones to him. He played along, acting like he was happy for us, all the while wanting his own I'm sure. I purchase a belt clip for my phone and his. I put the clip in a bag and wrapped it for him. When he opened it, there was a look of "what the hell...
