Lovely forms

I just spent a good chunk of my morning filling out insurance forms, aren’t I lucky? Since we’re probably switching health insurance carriers here at work, everyone got to fill out applications and brief medical histories for the new place. Let’s see I woke up this morning to freezing rain and ice, went through that to get to work and fill out insurance forms, could this day get any better? I doubt it!

Anyway, in other news:

Yes, Geek, you are infamous, at least around here. 🙂 Also, to answer your question, I point to you and support you for a couple of reasons; one I like what you have to say, it’s relevant to what I’m trying to do here, which is educate and entertain people. Second, you’ve done a lot with comments and links and such to support what’s going on here, which gives this place a sense of community that I’m totally looking for, so I like to repay that whenever I can, and lastly it’s nice to be able to say that while I may be a geek, I’m not the Geek. *L*

On a side note, I’m still waiting for the day when someone meets me in person and says “Oh you’re THAT Mike McBride, I read your blog all the time!” Then I’ll feel like I’m infamous as well. 🙂

I added the two new Forum system this morning that I mentioned last night. I’m not sure how this will go, but we’ll throw them out there and see if people want to use them to discuss things. It’s all trial and error at this point!

    I was thinking something on the drive to work today about how electricity is sort of like IT. Nobody really notices the power companies until the power goes out. IT is very similar, no one really knows what goes on “down there” nor do they really understand what it is that we do, but lawdy…

  • Comment trolls

    Here’s what I don’t get. Everyone gets the occasional stupid, downright offensive comment, right? Why then do some bloggers make such a big deal over them? Why do they engage these people in an argument, or publicly expose their IP address or whatever other information they can get hold of? What purpose does it really…
