Memos: Trying a New Title Edition

• Memo to every other person besides us who works in the Atlantic Technology Centre: Nobody is impressed that you supposedly work in a high-tech company. Every company in that building is living off of government contracts just like everyone else in this sorry city. And it really wouldn't kill you to return a 'hello' on an elevator now and then.
• There's a new little Starbucks in the ground floor of the ATC. I've figured out why they don't call it 'small', 'medium' and 'large' and instaed say 'grande' 'whatever' and 'somethingelse', it's because they don't want you to realize you're paying $2 for a fucking SMALL.
• --- Post about xmas shopping removed. You never know who reads this thing.
• I was out at the Formosa Tea House with my mother last weekend where she said the funniest thing ever, as she was inspecting the sushi that the waitress placed in front of her she said "It looks like man-made cucumber slices." I thought it was funny, anyway.
• My dog needs to seriously realize that just because she's outside and we're inside doesn't mean she's been abandoned forever.
• Lesson #3 of good program design: instead of going of to create the best data structure ever, write the algorithm you're going to use it in first, and then you only need to write those particular needed functions right away, and as you test your program and the structure you can fill in the rest afterwards instead of having a large hurtle to get over before you can do anything. They don't teach you this in school because they want to get you to fully write each class one at a time it would seem, by the way the assignments are structured.
• Memo to the staff at St. James Gate: Switching CDs when Black Sabbath's War Pigs comes on cost you a portion of your tip tonight. Next time think before putting on some trendy accoustic blues CD that no one cares about.
• Second-best office prank ever if you're a woman: randomly leave pairs of your underwear in random places around the office, and act completely surprised and bewildered when your boss finds them and brings them to you. Carry this on for about 6 months until your boss is absolutely losing his (or her) sanity.
• Officially completely sick of TV. The last sow that I enjoy watching, The Daily Show, is getting old, probably because the subject matter is just too easy to make fun of, it's sort of like heckling an elementary school play where the kids are murdering each other.
