The Reason For Naming Storms After Women

This just in, fresh from Slashdot:
They name storms and hurricanes after women because when they come, they're loud and wet, and when they leave, they take your house and car.

Public Transport Stinks

I had some trouble with one of my accounts receiving e-mails and after some administrative work I fixed the problem. So I opened the Delo newspaper web page in search for electronic versions of some pages to catch up with things I didn't receive. And then I stumbled upon its blogs. Wow, they have blogs! One post title received my attention immediately. About the smell on city buses. Especially the route 7. I use the same route to get to work. A lot of old people on it in the morning, and all till the noon. Oooooold people. Smelly people. The sort of people that goes to cemetery very early every morning.
Seriously.
What is wrong with these people? Every damn day, very early, to the cemetery and back home to lunch. I mean, they don't have a job anymore, why do they have to get up so damn early? Last I heard nobody escaped from cemetery yet. And what kind of life is that, socialising in the cemetery?
I may have to start a petition for route 7 to no longer include the city cemetery. Let them use route 2 or something.

Being A Tough Boss

So then, I got fed up with doing manial boring tasks and hired a poor student for peanuts. He doesn't like wasting time on buses to come to work, so he works at home. We chat on irc to iron out details of tasks. And then at one time I just got fed up with him, too. I mean, what good is he to me, if I have to explain everything, virtually doing all the thinking for him? I may as well do the damn thing, too. And it will even be faster.
