*mumble grumble growl snarl gnash teeth*
Something is wrong in internet-land and I cannot access my own goddam blog, which means I can't post to it, which means it will go content-free today. Our tech admin insists the problem isn't a truthout problem, and the people I've asked to check it agree. Looks like Comcast is hosing me again.

That and nine other things have made this Crap Thursday before noon has even arrived. Anyone else having a shitty day at work?

1. Well, one of my dogs peed on the carpet...
...but other than that, my day hasn't been underway long enough to know if it's going to get worse or better.

Hope your net problems clear themselves up!

3. Wanna come shovel my driveway?
Comcast sucks here too. I signed on because it can handle the reports I send for my job, but on somedays it can't even do that.

4. I don't suppose Comcast would respond quickly to a customer service
request?

I wouldn't hold my breath is I was calling Telus. They're all the same.

I don't feel like death today, and haven't thrown up in about 12 hours, so today is great in my books.

6. I tried to get to an article
at truthout from Buzzflash and was unsuccessful also. Something is wrong but it will work out. Hang in there and find some roses to smell.

7. Why don't you email it to someone else at TO?
Seems like your tech could post it, eh?

9. Other than a 30 minute session with "Paranoid Man"?
That ALWAYS starts my day off with a bang--thirty minutes locked in an office with "Paranoid Man" listening to him talk about everyone who is out to mess him over and deprive him of his power...

I'm counting it down--only 68 more days until my term on the Board of Review begins--then I'm back doing the work I love on hospitals, and I am freed from this abusive crazy SOB I work for!!!!

10. a lot goes on behind the scenes on the internet
i have been trying to run ads for pinkobuttons. after being censored and ripped off by google, i decided to try overture, which runs ads on the yahoo system, and some of the big news sites.
they are almost as bad as google, but at least they are out in the open with it. they canned a bunch of my keywords, saying that i didn't have enough relevant content to use them. i know they are doing this with simple search functions, but it is crazy. even though they accepted- bush murdered, bush thief, and bush crime family, they bumped anti-bush??
argh.
