Ok… it’s not what it sounds like. I haven’t gone all rabidly religious while you weren’t looking. The PBF is a collection of OMG TEH FUNNEH comics.

In other news… there are only 12 work days left until I leave my current position and move on to the next. In those 12 days I have to write more documentation than you can shake a stick at (so the person who replaces me will have some sort of clue).

It would have been nice if that existed for me when I got here. Instead, I got the whole “Here’s your cube…. good luck!” approach.

Engrish is what happens to english when the Japanese get a hold of it.

Engrish.com, Jasper.com and Syberpunk.com should pretty much explain it all.

We took my wifes Jeep Liberty to the dealer for service on saturday.

I hate nearly every car dealership. It seems that once they get your money, they no longer care about you. This has not been our experience with the place we purchased the Liberty from, Barton Jeep.

Every time we go there, they make us feel special. They’re unbelievably polite and always go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect (including washing the vehicle every time we bring it by). I love them!

My wife need an oil change and mentioned that it was making a funny sound in the mornings when it was cold. The service tech recognized the symptoms and said it was a known issue with the rear brakes. Even though that part of the warranty was overdue by the date, it was still good by the mileage (12 months or 12,000 miles), so they went ahead a machined the rear disks and replaced the rear pads for free. He said it was “close enough”.

While I was there, I saw something I really liked. The 2007 Jeep Compass.

That is soooo my next vehicle. Of course, I’m opting for the 4×4 version with heated leather seats, 6 disk in dash CD/MP3 player, 18″ chrome wheels, and the sun roof.

I sat in the one in the showroom, and I totally fit. I guess I’m going to have to look at one of these when the time comes to get rid of the short bus I drive now (a 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX).

I just signed my job offer on the new position. I am the new Senior Web Developer at my company.

The starting date is December 4th. Thats when I report to my new cubicle and start calling my new manager “Boss Man”.

Oh man… am I ever psyched!!

Of course, since the position came with a very nice increase in pay, so my wallet is psyched too!
