Oooh, annoying

So I updated my iPod touch to version 2.2. It then seemed to enable my passcode lock, which I don't recall using, ever. so now I've restored it to factory and am now reloading al of my data. USB 2.0 is fast but not fast enough.

Oddly sexist York College radio ad

York college of Pennsylvania is running an oddly sexist ad on the radio these days. Transcript and audio file here. I mean it's not horribly sexist, but the bit in the last paragraph about being "addicted to applied research like a woman to chocolate" is just bizarre. I mean what's next for YCP, women driver jokes? Oooh, those women sure do love to shop don't they? It's like the guy writing the ad copy is a failed stand up comic from 1982.

I honestly want to know who approved this ad. Now, I'm not saying all women are or should be offended by this. But as a chocolate addict, with both an X and Y chromosome, I just think they could have come up with a better simile. I don't know what exactly, everything else I can come up with is more offensive, but there's a reason I'm not in PR.

Must stop reading my horoscope

Today mine says I'll have a 5 star day. So far, I haven't been able to get a hold of the HR person at my new job to get some questions answered. At my temp job, corporate decided that they needed to migrate my email account to a new server, and apparently lost my account. Bah, 5 star day, indeed.

Snow Snow Snow

Well, the wonderful state and municipal governments of PA have once again proven they don't believe in snow. They can't other wise my street would be plowed properly and the business across the street would be able to dump the snow from their parking lot on my corner of the street.
