Active Directory testing - may the odds be ever in your favor.

Ah Thanksgiving, that time a year all families in America have dinner at the exact same time, thanks to a new sync mechanism called "NFL halftime.”

Confession - I can’t ridicule our in-laws again after my previous blog about not letting anyone bully your AD. But no worries, I don’t have to practice what I preach, so I found a new punching bag to bully – you guessed it right – it’s:

1. Those who suggest that everyone say something he/she is grateful for, making you squeeze any drop of originality off your brain just when you thought you were going to enjoy the long weekend.
2. See above, the person who sits right next to you and stole your idea.
3. Those who ask you why you paid so much for your flight, when they know they paid more.

Game Time!

Here’s an idea though for frustration bullet #1: Active Directory. Boom. Oh, and a $25 gift card. But, what do you really know about the last meal (your bank account was sentenced to death, due date - Black Friday) and your job?
