haaaaaahh. mark's mom came to tejas for some valentine's day nookie. haaaahh mark.

so i'm not into the let's buy some candies and cards and blah blah of valentine's day either. we made a big fucking meal for ourselves and some friends and it was tasty-cakes (tm). then there was much watching of rented dvds. my kind of 'valentine's day'.

so a work event occured today that threatened to make me explode. there's this bigass project that we contracted someone to do the bulk of the actual work for. well. he fucked it royal. then we asked him to fix it in the nicest (and then progressively less nicest) terms. things came along at a snails pace, so we had to jump in and fucking fix the whole shebang. sofar, i think that this is mostly par for the course as far as contractors go. the real problem came when over the weekend, dood decided to finally get his shit in gear and finish the job he was assigned. well, he didn't bother to look and see that it was already done. whoa, no. he just went in and over wrote a bunch of completed project with a bunch of amateur bullshit. now we have to go and fucking reinvent the wheel part 2. i hope this is just the longest deja vu i've ever had and that i'm not actually going to have to shiv anybody.

dammit ass.
