Multiple post madness

I need to get all these thoughts out at once. They're all short, don't worry.

How rich is this company?
My cleaning lady is white. Not Eastern European white, but white. I know because we had an uncomfortable exchange. I was sitting at my desk making sense of some code. I saw out of the corner of my eye that the cleaning lady was emptying the trash can at the desk next to me. I had a bunch of stuff on my desk to throw away, so I started gathering it into the trashcan and without turning around I started with "Aye, perdon deja me tirar esto en ...". And that's when I turned around and realized she wasn't hispanic. Situation awkwardo.

In other news, I think I saw Prince today. As I was strolling into work, some guy cut me off. He was short, dark skinned, had his hair kinda braided up, had these huge sunglasses on, was in some goofy/overly trendy clothes, and was walking around like he owned the place. As he walked by, I thought to myself, "who the fuck does this guy think he is, Prince?" Then tonight I ran across this story. And saw the picture. I either saw Prince, or saw his biggest fan.

GVIM users unite! Sorry, not really I still can't do it. My bold statement goes more like GVIM users attempt to get GVIM to act like a normal fucking application should and not some shitty 133t lame-o leenux sourceforge application.

My company's application isn't case sensitive. So being from New York, it does everything in uppercase. Because it isn't loud enough here as it is. Now I have words on the screen shouting at me all the time. IT'S LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME.

I ALSO HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS AT WORK AND END UP YELLING AT MOST PEOPLE WHEN THEY IM ME. I JUST LET THEM THINK I AM REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR FROM THEM.

So you admit it! Spanish IS the language of poverty!

Should I add a disclaimer to that for the overly sensitive types?
