Hype-r-drive

I’m getting very sick of the local TV news around here. Their continual hype and self-promotion is driving me crazy. I watched the news last night and they had their storm team reports talking about the impending disaster that would be our morning commute. As is often the case, the conditions were not nearly as bad as they reported. If you ask them why they do this, they’ll say it’s out of concern for the community. They want us to be prepared for the worse. If you want to go something good for us, just report the facts and not spin them just to get better ratings. I’m sick of it.

They replaced all the fluorescent lights in the office. They are so bright I get blinded looking up at them. Crap.

I got a Blackberry last week, and it’s very cool. I get all my office email on the thing, plus my calendar, Yahoo mail and I can surf the Internet. I’m wondering how I got along without it.
