In case you were wondering...

Your tie is supposed to "end" at your belt. Now, exactly where on your belt I dunno. I give it a range. If you manage to stop it at the middle then good for you. At the top, wow, you're an expert. And at the bottom, enh, you get it but your sloppy.

But, I keep seeing IT people with their belt ending somewhere in their midsections. Like, just about where their ribs stop.

This is WRONG. And if you wear your tie this way, you too are WRONG. Ya know, it's like wearing...

Boss's boss...

Posted 08-26-2008 at 07:10 AM by Merovigan

My boss’s boss.

The position of your boss’s boss tells you a lot about your position in a company. It tells you how far from the top of the organization you are. It also tells you how much shit can roll onto your head, and how much shit you can put off onto the people below you.

Posted 08-20-2008 at 07:03 PM by Merovigan

Something was said in a forum post, to the tune of "The problem atheists have with the religious is that the proselytize."

Defining us, in the Us vs. Them dichotomy

Posted 08-11-2008 at 11:42 AM by Merovigan

Humans need enemies. It's weird, it's retarded, but it appears to be natural. Many people seem content to allow their enemy list to flow to them through whatever groups they find themselves part of. Democrat, American, Christian, Black, whatever group you closely identify with grants you plethora of "haters" for you to juxtapose your own needs against.

You want freedom - they want inequality. You want safety, they want destruction. You want hot sauce, they want mayo.
