Happy Monday MoFos

So...


Had a fantastic FF weekend.
The League season premiere is this Thursday.
And I'm back at work.

My current desktop background serves multiple purposes for this rant.

1. Sometimes my computer makes me extremely angry (e.g., PPT, Excel "Not Responding" and subsequent loss of extensive amount of work)
2. Sometimes the people I correspond to make me extremely angry (e.g., email, IMing, personal and professional)
3. Sometimes I'm just angry for no apparent reason.

Tangent.
How can people deal with desktops COMPLETELY filled with icons/shortcuts? Yes, occasionally I'll post files on my desktop, but I do regular cleanses (as you see above). But I see WAY too many computers where it looks like your documents folder had too much to drink and puked all over your desktop. Disgusting. Clean your ish up. Especially when you do a ton of presentations for work. And if it's your home computer. There is even less excuse.

I need a smaller, fancier desk at home. Due to the configuration of our place, my current mammoth IKEA desk prevents us from being adults and having a dining room table... my inversion table is a secondary obstacle. A nice glass one would be... nice.

Tangent.
B&H Photo Video is offering half off Lightroom 3. Pretty good deal. Is 31 years old too early to buy your first officially-licensed (non-game) computer software? I have... 20 hours to decide.

Tangent.
Sometimes I feel like business casual was created to keep a brother like me down. I like to dress the part, and I feel like the part dresses me. When I wear a suit a tie, I tend to act a little more mature, talk a little more mature, even walk with a little bit of a strut... unless it's open bar at a wedding.
But this whole business casual thing, where you can wear anything jeans and a polo shirt to work (or even a t-shirt on Fridays)... well, that just messes me up. If I'm going to dress casual, I will then act casual... and that, my friends, just gets me on a daily slippery slope down heal to poor, non-ergonomic postures, excessive inefficiencies at work, and non-optimal performance reviews.

Tangent.
$5 Regular Footlongs at Subway all month.

Eat Fresh my friends.
