Decision

December 28th, 2004

For the time being I have decided to use Wordpress. I have never used Perl or PHP in all my time online so I’ll have to learn one just the same as the other.

My decision was mainly founded on the fact Wordpress is Open Source. A great community and free. I’m not impressed with Movable Type’s 70$ licensing fee for the personal edition. The free unsupported version allows 1 author and 5 weblogs. If I ever wanted to add a user for posting from ym phone or sidekick then I’d have to pay. That doesn’t sit well with me.

One day I may switch to MT but not now.

You’re kidding right?

Ok. This is one for the record books. At work we are changing from a 10p-6a shift to 3a-11a on January. I work the overnight replenishment/logistics team. So we unload trucks and stock the sales floor. This means we will be in the store when we are open and guests (customers) will be in the store.. Right now we work from closing to opening. But this change also means a change in uniform. We have to read a red shirt but pants of our choosing. When we go to the dayside shift we have to wear khakis. The official uniform of working while the store is open.

Well it was announced last night that we have to do a “dry run of uniform change”. That’s right, our boss wants us to start wearing khakis Jan 9 to get used to wearing them.

I thought wearking khakis in the first place would stink since they’ll get dirty but a practice wearing run. Geez.

OMG was I laughing to myself when the boss said this. I mean he literally thinks we need to learn changing the kind of pants we wear. Yeah, I’m not joking.
