Why am I still getting emails that are infected with the novarg.a@mm virus? Are there people out there that are really that oblivious to online security and virus protection? I know that you, my faithful readers, have already checked all of your gear and made sure that the gear of your people is all clear as well, right? If you haven’t, you can download an easy fix that will run on ALL versions of windows and it only takes a few minutes.

Next up is the detail shop. Now they are just stalling. I make changes, but the changes are “what they expected”. I tell them that I can not completely reproduce their current system, yet they continue to beat me over the head with it. I ask for input, but it changes every time I ask. They have concerns that I address then they have more concerns.

If it were up to me I’d leave ‘em to work on the eMachines running Win95 and Access 97 until great of amounts of smoke pour furiously from the power supply and take all of the brand new gateway workstations and LCD monitors out of the shop and bring them into the corporate office where they are needed, and more importantly, will be used.

But wait, there’s more….

club (GROUP) [Show phonetics]
group noun [C]
1 an organization of people with a common purpose or interest, who meet regularly and take part in shared activities:
(from cambridge.org).

Shared activities? Do those include personal, public attacks? Smart ass comments or remarks? Non-constructive critism or comments? I don’t think so.

I believe that a club should be something fun. Get together, participate in the club’s activities with other club members and have a good time. Friendships should emerge. There should be a sense of comraderie. It should be fun!

Or do I have that part all wrong?

Maybe it should be about personal, public attacks. Or harse, unnecessary critisism. Or non-participation in the clubs activities.

No, that can’t be right.

If it’s not right, then why? Why must there be personal attacks? It’s a club. Why must there be non-participation to show protest? It’s a club! Why must there be battles? IT’S A CLUB!. Come on now people. Let it go. I know that there has to be at a least a million other things that would benefit from the attention.

I’m just sayin….
