Fuck You, You Fucking Fuck

[digitaldiscipline]

Tourette's has made its appearance at my office. I just uttered the phrase, "Fuck you, Jim. Shut the fuck up. I don't give a fucking fuck about the fucking geese. Fuck you."

Jim is a guy who sent us an email. I've never met Jim. I presume he's some peer of the boss.

But the boss has ascended to the top of the shit list by uttering such phrases as, "That's unacceptable," when I mention the inflexible twelve-day turnaround the CD bulk printing place has. Well, gee, I can't do a fucking thing about it. Maybe if you'd worked over the holiday weekend like some of us to meet this deadline, I wouldn't need to kill you.

Grrrrrr. . . .

probably substantially faster - we're looking at maybe a max of 100mb per disk

Closer to a long workday then, for the 1000 discs... That and a box of those cd envelopes with the clear window in them, and you'll be set.

See how fast Tiger can ship to you, and present boss with A Plan.

we have a single 24x writer here, as well as a 48x a if you count the laptop. add in the 16x and 48x at my house, and that's plenty of burning power. i only need 200 or so for the short-form deadline, and maybe a couple hundred more for the ones we'll probably miss the next deadline for.

the ugly bit will be the printing of the labels.

just showed the boss - he blanched at $1500 for the unit w/ the printer. however, he was intrigued by a 1-to-3 for $600 option. we'll see what happens.

regardless, i am damn glad i had a talk with one of the folks at my apartments' leasing office about working for them last week - better money, bennies, and rent credit sound hella good right about now.
