The New Circuit City, Quits Before They Begin

A month or two ago circuitcity.com rose from the ashes, and I have to admit I was kinda excited at the idea, I like Circuit city before they went out of business. i started following them on twitter CircuitCitycom, and just yesterday they announced:

Great news right?  Most things I order off the web are less than 15lbs, I love newegg.com but sometimes you have to hunt for free shipping, I have issues with paying a lot or anything for shipping.

I even retweeted the great news, so did several others.

Happy joy joy!  Right?  Nope…  I come into work today and I see this..

Note that this is backwards order…

So that makes your free shipping standards worse than any other place on the internet.  Amazon is at least $25 and up..

FAIL..

Think maybe I misunderstood what they said?  Try this, on a 3lb backpack they will charge $9 for shipping…

Skynet caused D.C. train crash

They are blaming the D.C. train crash on a computer failure.  Apparently the trail failed to stop even though the conductor pressed the emergency brake.  What’s funny about this?  The conductors main job is only to open the doors during an emergency.  So they sit and ride the train all day?  So why did this failure happen?  Skynet, that’s all I have to say..

Senate Unanimously Approves Resolution Apologizing for Slavery

Please tell me I’m not the only one that thinks this is completely insane? There isn’t a person alive in the united states that had anything to do with slavery.

“The Senate unanimously passed a resolution yesterday apologizing for slavery, making way for a joint congressional resolution and the latest attempt by the federal government to take responsibility for 2 1/2 centuries of slavery.”

Verizon FIOS setup at our building

Today the landlord for our building has agreed to have Verizon FIOS setup in our parking lot to advertise for FIOS.  Naturally we thought that would mean a truck with a sign on it parked all day.  NOoo… This is 3 trucks, and 3 tents, 4 reps, 3 computers, 3 tvs and a wii. My window overlooks their setup perfectly and so I’ll be sitting here working today while watching them play wii and sweating their asses off in the Florida heat.  bwa ha ha..  P.S. Install FIOS in my neighborhood.
