They know not what they ask…

Posted on May 14, 2013 | 1 Comment

I took a call from an alarm company this evening that had me regretting that our phone lines are recorded.
Usually, I take the details from the operator and enter them into the computer for dispatch. At the end of the call, they usually ask for “operator ID”, to document who they talked with. Many ask for “operator number”. I simply respond with my name, as our dispatch center is small enough that I’m the only ‘Jim’ here. This alarm company operator threw me a new one, and asked: “position?”
Really now… that’s a bit inappropriate, don’t you think?
I responded with my name, as much as I wanted to say something else.
Damned recording systems.

Note to Hollywood: STOP THAT!

Posted on May 11, 2013 | 3 Comments

missing_personRecently, I was watching an episode of “Psych” on Netflix, when once again one of my pet peeves with Hollywood crept into a scene. (‘hollywood’ in the generic sense, as in movie/tv production, no matter where from. Psych is actually produced in Canada. That’s why it rains so much it their Santa Barbara!)

It’s not the alleged ‘psychic’ powers of the Sean character.  It’s not the undercurrent of underplayed (but still there) homophobia of the two main characters (especially Gus’ ongoing fear of touching another man) that often is used to make a comedic point.

It’s this ridiculous, on-going, ever-present, see-it-in-every-show-that-has-the-plot-line, it’s-standard-fare-in-”Hollywood”-productions, story device.

Delaware joins the ever-increasing list of marriage equality states.

UPDATE: Governor Jack Markell signed the bill into law moments after it passed the Senate.  Marriage equality goes into effect July 1. “I do not intend to make any of you wait 1 minute longer,”  he said.
