Lindsay Lohan Is Such A Giving Soul

Lindsay Lohan Is Such A Giving Soul

There's a good reason for why homegirl on the right is throwing the camera a puckery "THIS BITCH" face while trying not to let the laughs fall out of her mouth. This is a picture of role model, philanthropist and noted cokehead Lindsay Lohan at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles last night. If only the Nobel Peace Prize had a category for shameless publicity stunts. The crackhouse version of Audrey Hepburn has been born.

Judge orders back pay for some furloughed state workers

An Alameda County judge today ordered back pay for tens of thousands of state workers he has said were illegally furloughed because they work in departments funded outside the general fund.

Judge Frank Roesch ordered the state to "immediately pay all employees of respondent departments and agencies their full salary without any reductions ... and cease and desist the furlough of such employees."

The order, if upheld on appeal, would cost the state untold millions of dollars it thought it had saved by instituting furloughs a year ago.

The judge's order affects employees in nearly 70 departments that receive all or most of their budget money from sources other than the state's general fund. Roesch said the order should apply to workers in those departments regardless of their union affiliation. Representatives of SEIU Local 1000 said the back pay order would apply to about 53,000 workers the union represents.

Ten years ago today, my mother suffered what turned out to be a fatal heart attack at work. She was 59 years old. She was an awesome lady. Her legacy lives on in her beautiful granddaughters, Drusilla and Rosie.

Willie Mays, at 78, Decides to Tell His Story

By BRUCE WEBER

Published: January 30, 2010

On the night of April 29, 1961, at dinner in Milwaukee, Willie Mays ate some bad barbecue. He was up all night, sick to his stomach, and so wobbly the next afternoon he told Alvin Dark, the manager of the San Francisco Giants, to erase his name from the lineup. Lew Burdette was scheduled to pitch for the Braves.

The DMV Chronicles, Volume II

A List of FAQ by DMV Customers

1. "I have to pay?"
2. "Why do I have to fill out the application? My information has not changed."
3. "I don't have to wait in line, do I?"
4. "No, I don't know my number. Don't you have it?"
5. "I don't want to take my photo. I like my old picture/I didn't do my hair/shave."
6. "Why do I have to take a test? I:
a. have been driving for 1000 years
b. didn't have to take a test last time
c. know my vision is bad, but I'm a very good driver. If I go to the eye doctor, who's
supposed to pay for that?
d. didn't have to take a test in New York" (to which I reply either Welcome to California!
Or Planes Fly Both Ways Across The Continent, Buddy.)

When asked for legal presence documents (i.e. birth cert. passport):

1. " I know my social. Can't you look it up?" (a customer from of out-of-state asked me that.)
2. "I have my phone/pg&e bill." (this is in reply to my specifically asking for a passport or birth certificate)
3. "She doesn't have her birth certificate, but I'm her mother".
4. "But my friend..." (that one is my favorite. if your bogus papers don't work, pointing out that you know someone who did beat the system oddly doesn't work in one's favor.)

When checking in for a Drive Test:

1. "What does insurance and registration look like?"
2. "It doesn't say on the website that I must provide my own car for the drive test."

Computers down at all 168 California DMV offices

By JUDY LIN, Associated Press Writer

Thursday, January 21, 2010

(01-21) 16:06 PST Sacramento, Calif. (AP) --

A systemwide computer failure at the California Department of Motor Vehicles caused several hours of delays at all 168 offices Thursday.

The offices remained open, but with computers unable to connect to the state's network, DMV workers were forced to do everything by hand, such as processing driver's licenses and registrations, DMV spokeswoman Jan Mendoza said.

"They're collecting paperwork and processing it later," Mendoza said while the computers were down.

DMV offices began experiencing problems connecting to the state's network around 11 a.m. Offices started to connect back around 2 p.m.

Can you imagine such a horror? Try working there. Not able to do anything but sit there for 3 hours trying not to make eye contact while the gallery stares at us like we're a reality show (it's actually more of a sitcom/soap opera anyway). Good Times!

And now a word from The People (eyeroll):

The really amazing thing is that it took all the DMV employees an hour to realize that the computers were down.

Could it be that DMV is still using COBOL-based applications?

The answer to the COBOL question is yes! I attempted to learn it back in college, and enjoy showing it to 27-year olds who were born the year I took COBOL in college.
