'I'm the commander guy.'

Wow, you've got to love George Bush. Last year, he proclaimed himself to be 'the decider' and now he's gone so far as to say 'I'm the commander guy'. He sounds like a six year old. Crazy.

And if you're towing a Boeing 737 and make a wrong turn, the obvious thing to do is abandon it. How mad is that. I'd claim it and turn it into a house!

AutoCAD upgrades suck. At least today went quite smoothly, and the rhythmic chorus of 'Is it back up yet?' was quite subdued this year. Reminds me of updating the test software at my last job, which went something like this:

1) Call out that it will be shut down and to log out.
2) Shout out over the various cries of protest that they have to finish whatever they are doing and log out.
3) Shut it down 10 seconds later.
4) Ignore the further cries of protest from those who didn't hear me or hadn't bothered to log out, and shout 'Tough!'.
5) Start the update.
6) Get frustrated and threaten to cancel the update and never bring up the application again if one more whiny voice asks 'Is it back up yet?'
7) Complete the update, while continually bitching about the PCAnywhere connection to the server. Start it up.
8) Announce the application is back up. Then log into the application and send rude messages to all those who said 'About time.'
9) Receive another version in the next ten minutes which means going back and starting all over again.
