Cynically Challenged
Sometimes I think my office mate has some SERIOUS issues up top. He flies off the handle so easily and when he does it's so extreme that the rest of us are wondering where he's getting all this stuff from. Like just now, we received a letter from one of our partners that listed some approved products and what not. It was just their normal monthly email listing any changes.
Well Binky over here flies all off the handle thinking they are trying to screw us because some products aren't approved...products that we specialize in...and that this email is just a slap in the face from them. In fact, the products are in the system and just haven't made it to public consumption yet...but binky over here is thinking they're deliberately sending out emails to us that they are NOT going to approve them.
And he gets so cynical about everything. He thinks everyone is trying to screw us over and that everyone we try to do business with is just out to abuse us. And unfortunately, he's our first line of marketing... not a good face to be putting up front...

Exit & Entrance
July is winding done...finally. Can't say I really enjoyed this month all that much. It stirred up a bunch of emotions in me that I thought I had buried long ago. I return to old projects though... like this blog, so that's given me some therapy.
Tonight is another HF chat. I'm torn as to go or not. I'm really starting to WANT to play WoW so I might just boot up the ol' laptop next to the desktop and put the HF chat on the laptop while I play WoW.

Going In Slowly
I'm not being too cautious in posting this so soon... but I think I might be getting back in to WoW with a new character. I'm trying a paladin...he's got mana, but doesn't use much of it so it's kinda fun. :) All I know is... all day today, I've wanted to boot up my laptop and go in to WoW and play... and I'm at work! LOL
Ditty fer Fiddy...Part 2
A few days ago, I received my Dell DJ Ditty MP3 player. Gawd it's tiny... I know that was one of it's featured selling points but dayum!. This thing is about the size a large block eraser we use to use in elementary school!
As far as functionality goes, my feelings are mixed. While the price was right at just under $40, the Ditty is lacking several mainstream features that other players offer... most notibly the Music Library itself. Oh sure, there's a Music Library option on the menu... but it just opens up the play modes for either Audiobooks or Music and that's all. There isn't a way to select an artist or album. So skipping through your music becomes a chore if you have the thing filled to capacity, which is approximately 150 songs or so.
But skipping through tracks causes another flaw to show up... and I know it's not just my player or a defective one-off sort of thing. Skipping rapidly through the tracks causes the player to stutter... why I'm not sure. But only a complete power-off and power-on sequence can stop the stuttering after you've skipped through too quickly or just bypassed too many songs. I know it's not just my player because my Mom has the Dell Pocket DJ (the one that was above the Ditty before it was discontinued) and when she skips songs it does the same thing.
So if you LOVE the music you are putting on to the play... and don't plan on skipping tracks... and just want to listen to music on a player that is no-frills with a very cheap price tag, then the Ditty is for you... but there are plenty of other players out there that are just a bit more in price with a few more user friendly features.
