One bourbon, one scotch, and one mav

Jack Daniels is now 80 proof!

What the fuck is happening to the universe?

What else is new?

About two months ago, I interviewed for a job as an IT nerd at Cactus Pete’s. A month later I interviewed again. Two weeks after that, I got the job. Two weeks ago, I started my new job. Last week, I royally screwed up in my new job - or so I’ve been told, aside from one incident I really don’t know what I did wrong.

So, tomorrow, I have to decide whether or not I want to keep my new job.

I’ve come to the conclusion that corporations by nature are the embodiment of the girlfriend that says “If you don’t know what you did wrong, then I’m certainly not going to tell you.”

When interrogating a suspect:
Mal: Just scare him.
Jayne: But pain is scary.

Post-deal:
Jayne: Well, then, let’s see about my cut. Nothin’, divided by nothin’, carry the nothin’…

Simon: How do I know you won’t kill me in my sleep?
Mal: You don’t know me well, son, so let me explain this to you once. If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake, you’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed.
Simon: Are you always this sentimental?
Mal: I had a good day.

After years of the software, movies, and gaming industries telling us that software piracy is destroying them, bear in mind that all of those industries have shown consistent increases in profits. Like everything else, their stances are based solely on what they want you to hear, not what the facts are. Business is the great evil of our time, not politics.
