We may have missed it live, but you know its out there. That's right, you can watch Rob's Jenny Jones show via thebackyard.com.
Today is October 22. This is one of those dates that I'm supposed to remember. I forget what for. I know it's not Columbus Day, that's in March. I wouldn't have to remember Bastille Day because I don't practice Judism. Oh Yeah! Happy Anniversery Mom and Dad!!! No wait, their anniversery is in June. I remember forgetting this day once before and something about a rain of fire thrown down by Satan her himself. Oh yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!!
Rob's Jenny Jones show aired on Friday. He didn't tell anybody. I didn't even get to see it. Everybody email him and yell "Boooooooooo!"
My TV would cost about $600 to replace. This thought had just interrupted my impulse to launch a rather heavy glass at the image of Auburn fans racing onto the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium. I had already downed its contents as I had been steadily doing so for the past 12 football minutes. This was not supposed to happen. I was supposed to have left an hour ago, leaving Brock Berlin to mop up in a half-filled stadium. It’s just a stupid football game that has no impact on my life, RIGHT? Right! Ok, so the only option was to go meet Eric and Rob who had already left for Ybor and drink myself into a blithering idiot. Hey, what is life if you don’t set goals? Fast forwarding, my goal well achieved, I’m standing in front of Masquerade watching those other two disappear around a corner. I had no idea where they were going, but I knew that if I stayed in one spot, they’d eventually come back for me, well, eventually. Patrick walked by, and I screamed, “Hey Pa-TRICK!” at the top of my lungs. He smiled and walked on with a crowd of people trailing. Eventually they came back and told me we were going to Demy’s, which was great since I hadn’t eaten yet (which made my goal easier to achieve) and Demy’s pizza is the best. A few minutes later I was nestled in a chair chomping on a piece of pepperoni when Patrick came in. “God Dammit Patrick, quit following me. You create a scene wherever you go! Why the fuck are you here anyway?” He muttered something and walked on. I decided to get a second piece since Rob and his lawyer friend Julie went off to go talk to Patrick. At this point I was utterly oblivious to everything that was going on around me. A while later, I realized that I has been left behind. I just applied the same reasoning I used before, if I just sit here, they’d eventually come back for me, well, eventually. Yes, my plan worked perfectly. The rest of the night is not worth mentioning, mostly since I don’t remember any of it. Hey, I was no longer upset about that stupid game, so the night was a success”

I read this article titled Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments while on David's page. Don't waste your time reading the whole thing. To summarize, they bring in a group of students and ask them how they think they are going to do in a set of tests. Of course all them say they will do better than average. The study tries to correlate the subject’s inability to evaluate their skills to incompetence. The authors never actually defined incompetence. My definition of incompetence is the inability to demonstrate proficiency of a subject in which a person is expected to possess adequate knowledge and experience. If the subjects in these cases were not prepared for their exams, how can they be expected to perform well? Their overestimation of performance is due to ignorance of the subject. When I graduated college. I thought I was an incredible programmer, better than most who were already in the industry. I would have ranked myself in the top 10% despite the fact that I had zero experience. When I first started working at GTE, I was arrogant. I had no clue how much I still had yet to learn. I still haven’t the foggiest idea what I yet need to learn, but I percieve myself as one of the top performers in my profession. Does that make me incompetent?
