I'm having a bad day.

I hate my teacher, I hate my course and I hate my school.

Someone amuse me, please.

I have been coding in ASP for the last month. Now ASP sucks, windows server sucks, MS SQL server sucks and here I am doing this huge project in ASP, because my boss is too much of a chicken

yeah, I've got you beat, I'm doing a Novell 5.1 practical test

not around here it don't.

this teacher seems to have a knack for setting up computers that just don't work for some screwy reason. Like yesterday i had a linux box that would not run the arp or ifconfig commands, among others. even though there was no reason why they shouldn't have worked.

with novell it was a login script that will not work the way it is supposed to, but will work in a slightly different way.

Okay, here's something stolen from the Brunching Shuttlecocks, because everything is more fun with monkeys:

This is the smallest monkey in the world. It's tiny! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a hand-held monkey! The applications boggle the very mind. To begin with, you could use it to distract anyone from anything. "Excuse me, Mr. Rampaging Killer? Why don't you put down the gun and take a look at this hand-held monkey? Does it not have clever little forepaws? It eats gum and sap!" It would be a lot like those old comic book ads where superheroes defeat one-shot villains with fruit pies, only better. Because it would have a monkey. A-"
