Bloodbath

Today was a bloodbath in the market. Everything was red. I was actually expecting it to go down but for the wrong reason. I was thinking that if the debt ceiling will be raised, and it was, then there would be a measure of recovery in the US market. It had been going down for some time due to uncertainty brought about by the prolonged debate on raising the debt ceiling. And once that uncertainty is lifted, I was thinking some capital would flow back. But it seems the reason for the bloodbath is that with the uncertainty lifted, the shape of the economy went fore into the picture and it wasn’t good. So downward the US market continued. Enough to jitter everyone else.

Fatal Exceptions

Support asked for a list of log entries that indicates that the system unusable and require immediate action. So we provided them a list of fatal exceptions. The next question was stupefying: How many times should the exception occur before immediate action is taken? First, those are fatal exceptions. Fatal. Get it? The system is dead. How many time does it have die? Second, it’s immediate action. Immediate. Do it right away.

Backache

I had to go on leave from work today due to lower back pain. Looks like I’ll have to stop carrying Jeanne. She’s gotten rather heavy. It’s past due time to start using the stroller. Lifting it in and out of the trunk is also a potentially back-breaking endeavor. But it’s definitely way lighter than Jeanne. I’m ruing the days when I’d lug heavy backpacks up hills.

10 Things Men Find Unattractive

This article is hilarious. Imagine Chris Rock saying it. Can apply to men just as well. Summarized below:

  1. The Thirst – The Thirst can be described as women who are overly eager to find a man. The Thirst will turn her into chatty Cathy/desperate Debbie and the desperation is unattractive.
  2. Bad Hair – Can we talk about that funky smelling weave with the tracks showing because that’s not a good look. Or my natural sisters — who think dry and flaky is the new it do.
  3. Unkept Private Areas – I’m going to need you to shave under your arms because that hair brings funk. This brings me to your next private area, I’m not asking you to get a Brazilian. But I need you to trim up a little.
  4. Angry For No Damn Reason – Seriously, no one likes the angry woman, who’s always angry, never smiles and is extremely difficult to be around.
  5. Clothes – Some women think that kangaroo pouch is what’s hot in the streets. IT’S NOT. Know your body type and dress accordingly. That Bohemian look is cool and all but the white tank top that’s turning yellow, can’t say it does the trick.
  6. Unkept Feet and Nails – Simply put, a mani/pedi is your friend. And tip them well so you no longer scratch my legs in bed.
  7. Sense of Entitlement – Listen, chivalry is not dead but women who act as though they are entitled to a man’s wallet got to go. It’s unattractive and it’s downright classless.
  8. Curses like a sailor – If I can’t bring you home to momma we can’t roll. Have a cup of class and act like a lady not a garbage man.
  9. Promiscuity – You’re sleeping with every tom, dick and harry and that’s cool but don’t expect me to think it’s sexy.  I’m all for this sexual liberation business but I need you to have some tact and some discretion with your sex life.
  10. Posture – No one wants a woman all slouched over looking sloppy. You can do it put your back into it.
