Blah blah blah ... fire suppression ... blah blah blah half rack .... nerd-babble, nerd-babble, nerd-babble


Took the 4:10 LSE yesterday. Had the work Christmas lunch. Drank too much wine. Was forced to listen to some jackass talk non-stop into his BlackBerry from six quads over about server racks, fire suppression, remote hosting and other IT bullshit. Dude never took a break. Never took a breath. Never lost signal. He was talking when I boarded at 4:00 pm and kept talking as the train emptied at Oshawa. He talked so loud I could hear him despite the volume on my headphones set to its highest setting as I watched a movie.

I was standing behind him on the stairs as we pulled into Oshawa. I had this fantastic fantasy of grabbing his BlackBerry and drop-kicking it across the train where it sailed over the seats and slammed into a window, shattering into hundreds of pieces. Then everyone around me cheered and high-fived me as a I jaunted down the stairs and stepped off the train. Like a boss.

    Me, and I'm sure the entire car I was on the other night, had to listen to this woman yammer on to someone about how pissed off she was at her kid's school, his teacher, principal and whoever else she was going to call and complain to because her 6 year old brat forged her signature on his agenda.

    Are you kidding me? I'm a ninja. Poof, I'm gone.

    Did your mom re-instate your internet use? Oh, I get it, you just couldn't stay away. Told you, it's an addiction. That's okay. I'll have fun deleting all your crap later.

    I don't think he's quite mastered the Speak and Spell his mom found him at a garage sale. It's obviously stuck on the word, "loser".

    The only thing sadder than a 15 year old in his parent's basement trolling on the internet is a 38 year old in his parent's basement trolling on the internet.
