Monster is a Coca-Cola lovin’ company. Our soda fountain machine dispenses Coke products, there’s occasionally Vanilla Coke cans or bottles in the food vending machine (we don’t have a soda vending machine), and they always buy bottles of Coke products whenever they order lunch for meetings. (Although lately they’ve been getting cans instead.) Today…not a […]
Read More Pepsi: The Choice of a Greedy GenerationWasn’t so bad afterall. Christine’s nice. …but I still wish I called in sick. I still feel like poop.
Read More AftermathSo a week ago I made a minor change in Monster’s DoubleClick system without telling anyone. It was done to make things easier for people and cut minutes of the time it takes them to enter an ad order. …and it has, but users were apparently confused at the change. Yeah, I guess I should […]

To: Christine G. I just thought you’d be pleased to know that your department consumed 64 Wendy’s chicken nuggets today. -Patrick Delahanty Senior Web Applications Developer I was responsible for 19 of them myself. 🙂 I’d have done 20, but I got ripped off and was missing a nugget from one pack. Grrr… (Of course, […]
Read More Status report for my bossOkay, this is completely stupid. Apparently a division of TMP Worldwide is “People.com”. Their web site is techpeople.com…because People Magazine has the real people.com domain. It strikes me as incredibly stupid that anyone would name a company after a domain they don’t have. “Gee, maybe I’ll go start a company called ‘Yahoo.com’ and put the web site […]
Read More People.com or People.com?Jeff Taylor, our company’s fearless leader (or one of them anyway), promised us juice in the office this morning. There wasn’t any. My co-workers and I were really looking forward to getting to the office and having some juice today…but we were denied. Man, don’t promise things you can’t deliver.

I need to go buy more Mentos tonight. Secret AXNY plan. Backup plan, actually. I won’t be able to make Hamtaro cookies before I leave. …and I’m not sure people would want to eat my cookies anyway. I suck at cooking and baking. Bought a Pepsi Blue in the office complex cafeteria. My co-workers (still) […]
Read More The Freshmaker!It’s been a while since I’ve given a real update on stuff. I might not have time to write the whole thing now, but at least I’ll catch up on a few days… I went up to my parents’ house a week ago to help them pack up and move. They had to be out […]
Read More What I’ve been doing for the last week and a halfI got the official job offer from Monster.com today. They’re going to mail me an offer in the mail that I’ll need to sign and return, but as of today I’m officially hired! I start Monday. [starts singing the “I’m Hired” song from MST3K] Now that I’ll have money (or at least the promise of […]
Read More I’M EMPLOYED!Yay! I got picked for jury duty in June! Wheee! Unfortunately, if they ask if I’m related to anyone in the legal profession, that would probably get me kicked off. I hope not since I really want to be on a jury and do my part for truth, justice, and the American way. In other […]
