Are You Mad at Me?
No seriously, you can tell me.
Three weeks have passed and my general anger towards everyone at work has only intensified with the constant inquiries about my mood. Am I on my period? Is everything ok with Pierre? Is there something dramatically wrong in my life?
People, people, people – the problem isn’t with me, it’s with YOU. That’s how anger works. You piss me off, and I in turn stealthily start telling others how fat, or retarded, or stupid you are behind your back. And generally, I like to tell A LOT of people.
Five or six days ago, a drama exploded on the internet that proves (no matter what “work people” think) that this is a healthy and normal reaction to mental retardation (which is how “work people” think). I was filtering through various images on Flickr when I came across some fucked up shit. Some one had stolen pictures from Flickr and posed them on their own:
“Well this is just crazy. KK + (Kris Krug), one of my contacts on Flickr, a while back got pissed because another photographer allegedly had taken his shots and published them as his own on Flickr. So he did what any pissed off photographer/blogger might do when someone steals their work and he blogged about it.
Apparently, after blogging about Kevin Corazza stealing his photos, his photos were removed from Kevin’s photostream. Mission accomplished, right? Wrong. Now Kris Krug has received a cease and desist letter from Kevin Corazza’s attorney’s demanding that he take down the blog post.
The problem? Well it would seem to be a two part problem. 1. Kevin Corazza has a unique name and 2. Kris Krug has a little Google juice as a blogger.
So what’s happened is that Kris’ blog post identifying Kevin as a photo thief is now the top Google search result for Kevin Corazza. And this is likely to follow Kevin around for a long long time. In fact, unless someone else with some Google juice blogs about Kevin Corazza (at least as Google page rank would seem to work today) in a positive way, he’s pretty much screwed.”

So - Work people, look at this example and stop pissing so many people off.
