fuck you.  seriously.  i haven’t decided if you’re assholes or just idiots.  likely both.

so, i’m perusing your page on the ALDS match-up between the sox and angels.  there, under “Angels’ Local Headlines”, is this gem, that begs to followed: “No coming-out parties for Lackey“.  who can resist that?  naturally, i clicked the link…and got directed to the “sign up for espn insider” page.  are you fucking kidding me?  you dimwits are routing outside content links thru your subscription site?  there is a reason i don’t subscribe to espn insider.  namely, i don’t want to.  it’s a damn good reason too.  stupid crap like only allowing your paying readers to follow links to other sites, even if it’s a mistake, only reinforce my opinion that give you jackasses money would be a waste.  even though i’d get to read gammon’s column.

great. so, my internal work IM seems to have lost connectivity. we’ll add that to list of today’s frustrations. along with the fact that WID never deployed the latest version of our service to the INT box. oh, it went to QA and was released in production last week. but it’s still not in INT. what the fuck? we’ll tack on to that the request i just got for documentation on this service, so the people who took over maintainence of it (last fucking year) actually have some clue as to what it does.

this is on top of the frustration of not being able to test my own work. seems to be working in lower environments, using the same code. and it doesn’t seem to be data driven, as, well, transactions that should hit well established error processing code (ie: none existant policies) aren’t going through. i have no information at all as to what is going arwy. which is leading me to believe the transaction just isn’t being run at all. bugger.

but what i really want to say is that disney is evil. not just in the usual “disney is evil” sense. they’ve gone beyond that. today, i saw a commercial for some show called “my friends tigger and pooh”. apparently, this is a cgi cartoon about a little red-headed girl who solves crimes with tigger and winnie the pooh. seriously. what in the name of all that is holy is this crap? who thought this would be a good idea? i’m not even a big fan of pooh. but shit like this is just wrong.

disney: dedicating to rooting timeless classics in a very specific time! woo hoo!

i think it’s time for a drink.
