OSX rules my morning
I’m sitting here in a conference room of a major software company in Saint Paul, waiting for the guy I’m supposed to meet with to show up. One of the reasons I’m here is to look at the intranet site of this company. No less than four people have been putting me in front of PC’s and huge workstations trying to get something to work so that I can see their stuff. Nothing seems to be working. Monitors don’t work, connections can’t be established. Intra-company passwords are being ignored. Pure comedy. So I decided to school all these players on the power of Mac OSX. I took out my lap-top that had been gently sleeping in my bag, and jacked it into one of the ethernet cables that was protruding from the conference room table and within seconds of taking my machine out of its bag I was online and looking at their system. Needless to say, all were amazed at the simple power of the Jaguar! Hee.

I got here really early (8AM) for no reason and killed time in the Starbucks that is conveniently located in their lobby. I overheard the following conversation/flirting which was too much to take at this early hour. It went like this:

Customer: Hey, man how was your weekend?

Barista: O.K.

Customer: Did you get arrested?

Barista: No. I’m an angel. An angel with broken wings.

Customer: Hmmm…that implies that you once had wings…you devil.

(long uncomfortable pause…and then the customer leaves)

The whole arrested thing really threw me for a curve ball. Yuck. I just hate it when I overhear stuff like that. Really obvious flirting just makes me cringe. People, it’s just too early in the morning to get your flirt on.
