I don't IM my girlfriend anymore for that very reason. We had big enough arguments to break up over because of ****ing instant messages and emphasis... since we stopped that, it's been glorious.

I HATE when people think the company should be buying them the latest-greatest phone/laptop/device. However I love listening to responses when someone tries to provide business justification for an iPhone or Android phone vs the BlackBerry they already have.... It's work people, you don't need the company to pay for a toy or your damn text messaging to your kids!

Damn. So you're saying I have no chance at getting a droid? Took the wind right out of my sails on that one, lol.

I really liked my BlackBerry, other than when it started messing up and the scroll ball would only scroll down and not back up lol.

I wish the government was better about watching their funds like you guys are talking about with IT stuff. Every time I deploy I get issued things I already have. I would turn some things down, but it's so hard to get the stuff when you actually need it that you just take it when you can and save it for later haha. However, sometimes when you really need something and even when you give them justification that should suffice, even then they want to get stingy. Oh well.

One thing I'll never agree with though is the way funding works. When the end of the year comes down and they say "oh, we have $100,000 we have to spend or they'll cut our budget next year and we'll need the money then, so let's buy a bunch of shit we don't even need". WHAT?! And I know it all goes back to not being able to get the money next year, but maybe that's where we should start the change. If we could only live in a world where people were trustworthy enough that when they truly needed the funding they could get it because those giving the money knew it was truly needed. Does any of this make sense or am I just rambling? lol

I work for them... I completely understand where you're coming from. It's exactly how I feel.

I hate when the roller ball does that, haha. It hasn't gotten permanently stuck, but does have its episodes.

As usual, I'm picking up what your puttin down. It is weird how that all works. It's irony at its best- I don't agree with it either, but at times, I'm on the receiving end of 'having to spend the remaining budget dollars':lol:

I'll go at least 5 under.

I hate it when people are waiting to get on the elevator and they run into you as you're trying to get off of it. People need to understand elevator etiquette!!

that means you should get in the right lane, just because you only want to go ten over doesn't mean they don't wanna go 15 over, if you are not passing get in the right lane, there are as many signs saying that is state law as there are posting the speed limit.

I beg to differ. Mebe in the hills there are signs that say for slower traffic to keep right but in the greater Denver area there are few to none. I think they should be posted around more.

People piss me off when they are going 5 under in the left lanes. I think the law should be enforced and posted more on our highways. It would and should make traffic better on I-25 and 6th Ave.

+1. 65 and over, the law is Keep right except to pass... it's not "Faster traffic left-lane".

Although 65 is the law too, driver's ed taught that the left lane is for passing. But good luck with that here
