Yes, they belong there. Most definitly. Sadly Chris you are not the only person with a shitty week.
June the 20th I quit my job, but before you go calling me the idiot, let me give you a background.
I work in the medical field, specifically on ambulances, and worked for 1 company for a year. They had not repaired the ambulance that I rode on in that amount of time, and they brakes were shot. The managers kept saying the vehicle was fine. Ok...then why don't the breaks work?
Keep in mind I have driven ambulances since 1998 and that I have driven through both blizzards and hurricaines, have had extensive driver's training involving emergency vehicles and work on this specific truck daily. Yet I don't know.
So, I quit this company and take a 50 cent pay loss to join another, much smaller company who keeps their trucks in good maintainance. Fast forward 3 months.
I have now worked at this company for 3 months and the boss is riding my ass for no reason. It is freaking summer with 90+ degree heat in the front of the unit and he tells us not to waste fuel and turn on the A/C. He also gives me 3 written warnings for going by the rules HE put in place; IE editing my time on my time card and initialing it, coming into work 5 minutes early and sitting down waiting for the time to clock in, coming in to work at the time HE told me to come in, and he says he told me to come in 2 hours earlier...
Well, yesterday I had enough. Friday he had told me that I would be working from 10 am till 6 pm with a person that hates my guts(I dislike her as well, if you pick a topic, chances are...she knows everything involving it. I could go on and on about her, but let's put it this way: We had gotten to talking about computers and she believed she knew more than me, but she did not know what a motherboard was or an I/O port, then changed the conversation to breeding dogs when she realized she was losing and told me a female has to be larger than the male to breed a damn dog. Why the hell do I even care? Anyway, I digress...) So, I was willing to tough it out and deal with her for the day....but nope. I get a call at 8:45 am monday morning telling me I am 45 minutes late.
I can find another job. Heh.

Chris: you knew what you were getting into when you went over to the "dark side". The promise you the world, but rarely deliver. Sure, they've got hellacious eye candy, but thats about it. I'm looking forward to the day when you can run OSX on your Dell.
Ridirich: No clue who you are, but hi. Nice to see someone else quit EMS for computers. EMS pay sucks, the hours are long and you get to deal with the underbelly of society at its sickest..
I'll be posting info on how to submit your own nominations for induction into the fucktard Hall of Fame in the nuext couple of days...so take copious notes when dealing with the stupid.

Chris, not trying to Hi-Jack your thread, but yeah I am going to nominate my ex-boss.
Medic: Wow, you have been around here longer than me, and I had never met you. I have not quit EMS, I will probably volunteer it, and I have been doing computers since I was 8(man, that feels like a long time ago). I am most likely going to go Respiratory Therapist and keep computers as my very avid hobby.

You better not hijack my thread...or you end up in the hall of fame buddy!!! :)
I am setting an alias this evening and will post it here once it's live and accepting submissions.
My plans right now are to initially take email submissions for induction. Then, once I have a bit of time I am going to set up a blog style page where people can basically post and nominate anyone they want then we'll choose someone weekly (assuming there is enough traffic to warrant that) inductees into the hall. I am certainly open to other ideas as well...but if the suggestions suck...you may end up in the hall.
Chris needs a LARGE rubber stamp that says FUCKTARD and he can use it on folks at Defcon.
If such a stamp was to be made what color should the ink be?
Black is always a good color, however a deep rich red would also be a good choice.
