Due to some SNAFU in

coverDue to some SNAFU in communications between my manager and I, I missed my first day (which should have been yesterday) at Software, Etc. I'm convinced he's to blame, as I literally was entering the information into my scheduling program as I was on the phone with him, and fortunately, I think he's convinced that he was the one who erred as well. In any case, all is forgiven, and I'll actually start tomorrow night, which will also be insanely busy, as there are 160 people who've pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and they'll all be coming in to pick it up. Dan, the manager, said it'll be the busiest day of the year for the store. Oh goodie.

As if the pop-ups weren't

As if the pop-ups weren't annoying enough, now there is referer log spam. I found this in the referrer logs of Kristin's weblog, it's apparently a service that will let you insert your URL into the referrer logs of webloggers everywhere. Now, that's certainly a somewhat clever way of doing it, but I wouldn't pay $1000 for it as a service, because how many people compulsively check their referer logs, besides me, that is?
