My department is reorganizing due to some retirements. Not a huge deal. My top boss is a waste of state funding. While, I'm not directly affected. A few people have been unwillingly dumped into leadership positions and have responded to the idea of more responsibilities with a nervous breakdown. WTF?!? This isn't entirely a Fail for me, but I'm hoping to transfer to Newborn Screening. I do keep hearing the phrase "Do more with Less." It's really starting to sound like "We're fucking the fuck out of your fuckers."
Oh dear lord. Last Thursday or Friday I made some rice for lunch, but it burned in the pot into a charred, glutinous, hard mass. Thinking that nothing could possibly consume that, I left the pot out for a while--until today. I went to clean it, and about 8 horrific mold colonies spanning a rainbow of colors are munching away at that "inedible" mass. I made up a pot of boiling water to kill everything and am letting them soak in that, before emptying the water, hitting them again, emptying out the mass into the trash, and then cleaning the pot with boiling water, Dawn, Mon Ami, and Barkeeper's Friend, in that order.
JESUS FUCK I HAVE NEVER SMELLED SOMETHING SO BAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
The smell of that rice...It was the smell of millions of infant corpses, screaming a death rattle prayer to a cruel and merciless god who neither heard nor cared for their pleas.
Bamboo water. No, worse. It's as if you distilled the water off the bamboo water. And then poured that essence into a mass grave under the Sonora sun.
I got in trouble at school today because a teacher didn't understand what I was doing in the computer lab and didn't listen when I explained it to them. My school really sucks.

Nothing can smell as bad as the bamboo water... could it? *Shudder*

This happened to me once or twice, but then I talked to the IT guy and he let everyone know I was fine doing whatever I wanted to. I ended up helping the school transition to a new IT guy over the 10th to 11th grade year, but it turned out that the new guy was one of the horrible retarded IT guys. He still used me to help him do IT work, and he respected that I knew my shit, but he had ridiculous policies on internet usage and had crazy ideas about some stuff. He installed a horrible, horrible firewall that was easily defeated by proxy servers, but it was still a bitch to deal with. It blocked random schools and colleges websites so I had to help the teachers get around it sometimes too.
One time, he told me not to use Firefox, because he saw me installing it on a computer. I asked him why, and he said "The man the made Firefox is a Hacker, and if you use it, he'll steal all of your information. What's wrong with Internet Explorer?" What the fuck. Fail of the last two years of high school.

People like that comprise the majority of IT workers, because most companies can't afford anyone good. Often, someone already working there will be "promoted" to IT.
I'd be surprised if more than 10% or so of the IT workforce in the US has a degree in Information Technology, let alone a non-CIS computer field.

Just watched what is probably going to be the last episode of Cranky Geeks. I'm going to miss that podcast more than any other I've seen/heard that's ended.

What? but I just started subscribing to that podcast. Goddammit.

See, my IT guy is the guy who got me in trouble. He's just a crazy, cranky old man.
I don't know why, but I believe I should be proud that I still have absolutely no idea who this Justin Bieber kid is. I don't plan on changing it either.

Mold is horrifying.
