American Idiots

I really don't like dealing with American Idiots (AI - also known as arsehole intelligence). Throughout my years on (and off) the planet, I have encountered many strange people but - to paraphrase Clint Eastwood - "A Goth's got to know his limitations".

Goth should not worry about this - he's not qualified (paid enough) to worry - but Goth does care.

Wednesday - communication that we should talk more with americans - ok

Friday - NO communication about what they were supposedly planning

Saturday - communication from Goth at 3am - "I have a really bad feeling about this"

Sunday - NO communication as AI kick into action

Monday - NOTHING works anymore
Monday - Goth is asking what the fuck they have done
Monday - AI are blaming Goth for not communicating
Monday - Goth is explaining the basic principles of communication
Monday - AI try to cover their tracks by deleting log files that Goth has already sent off network
Monday - Goth fixes the important bits and decides that home is a safer place to be
Monday - Conference calls are arranged but Goth has left the building

Tuesday - AI have found the answer, which is spookily the same as Goth suggested the day before
Tuesday - Goth has to explain what went wrong
Tuesday - AI decide they can fix the other bit
Tuesday - Goth goes out for a cigarette
Tuesday - Network crashes in a wholly predicted way taking out all European operations
Tuesday - Goth suggests ice cream and cakes or anything with sugar
Tuesday - More conference calls are suggested - Goth declines
Tuesday - Goth decides that Jack Daniels is a beautiful friend and leaves
Tuesday - AI fix the final part using exactly the same code Goth suggested

Wednesday
- now - Goth is planning a conference call with AI (and it will not be polite)

I try to avoid people with cowboy hats. They tend to make me nervous and uneasy.

I've been communicating with Merkans this morning too.

Off to Gitar center later ;-)

I've been communicating with 'Merkans this morning as well. They haven't paid their bills because they don't have copies of the invoice - that I've faxed to them 10 times...

Can we see the results?

YSB -> At least you can see them coming - just look for the nearest cow

Brom -> yeah, but you have rockets and guns and stuff

Sewmouse -> you should phone them and TELL them to put paper in their fax - it works better

JG -> of what? The brain scans - it's ok, they were all negative

I only work with locals at the moment -Burdish, French and Dutch the farthest work contacts, and it's not too bad-. So I haven't had the dubious honour of getting into a mess with AI.

We're a bunch of happy lazy hillbillies playing guitar and dancing flamenco under the sun here, you know. lol. ;)
