So weird, some guy from the IKEA head office just emailed me about my entry that talks about my crappy IKEA chair. He just sort of said "we stand behind our products, contact your store about this", it was a bit terse, but maybe that's just because he's all scandinaviated (or maybe he also found my other, much more pointless IKEA entry). Anyhow, I checked my referrer stats, and it turns out he found me by searching for IKEA on google, and I was a result on the 18th page. All I can think now too is: how do I get this guy's job? You hear now and again about people with web pages getting contacted by people from big companies who they wrote about or whatever, so I guess that's part of someone's job function at a lot of businesses, and man, what a crap-easy job that must be, so sweet. So anyhow, I am spending this morning being jealous of this guy from Sweden now who has a job where he can go through every web page that mentions IKEA to make sure it's all good, and he actually gets paid for that, and then he goes home to his bright yellow house with bright red plastic flowers in front and 20,000 storage compartments inside, and he eats his cinnamon danish for dinner and his 99 cent hotdog, and man yeah, I just want to get a nice job in Sweden, that would be so good.
I am rambling a bit because I have been driven sort of crazy for the past 24 hours or so. See, I spent all of yesterday in front of the computer, moving Pitas to a new server, and very early on, I got that Harvey Danger song in my head, that one song they had. I don't know if Harvey Danger were big in the states for a while like they were here, but they had this song that got a lot of play and it is the absolute worst song to get stuck in your head ever, especially for the entire day where all you're doing is typing a few commands, sitting doing nothing for 10 minutes, typing another few commands, waiting for another 10 minutes, etc for the whole day. It drove me so nuts, so crazy.
Oh also, it's march 7th, so happy Canadian New Year's! So many canadian people with web pages never mention canadian new year, but everyone always mentions chinese new year, what's with that? As part of my celebration today, I have done my patrotic duty of getting that Harvey Danger song in the heads of everyone who just read the last paragraph and know the song. Suckaz!
