NEVER pull a nail out of your tire, unless you are going to patch it yourself. The belts in your tire are there partly to keep nail holes closed. You pull the nail out and there is nothing there "plugging the hole."

I relearned that the hard way. I was going to pull the nail and drive to get the tire fixed... once I got the nail out the rim nearly bounced on the driveway. So I had to put the spare on my car and drive to have the good tire fixed then put back on the car.

The tire was really bad, I looked at it myself, wouldn't have done any good to patch the middle of the tire when the inner edge was exposed wire, it wasn't a "stick the desperate guy with a new tire" deal.

My sister will be spending Christmas in jail. :(


I kid. I'm very happy about that. If she is in jail she is safer. We know where she is and what she is doing. It is a great relief. So put her in a tiny cell and smile smile smile. :)

I almost forgot my rant by reading all y'alls rants. I hope y'all are doing better since you last ranted.

Anyway.

I hate stupid, stupid, stupid development environments. Some idiot convinced the executives, "Oh, let's just wrap eclipse around everything, and have it talk to gdb through another interface, which then connects to the slow as molasses debugger that actually programs and runs the chip. I'm sure developers won't mind waiting 5 minutes each time they want to program the chip, and if it crashes, it's ok to make them exit the program, unplug the debugger, plug it back in, and wait for eclipse to load up, even though that adds another 5 minutes, and happens every other time you try to program it."

Some G-D plague-ridden suspect has apparently given me a head cold. Am currently debating the merits of self-decapitation to alleviate.

This is my penance for my earlier hubris about people getting sick. *hangs head* The council was merciful... the council was merciful!

So what you are saying is... this is a weak time for you... you are vulnerable.

I do my work and clear out my schedule and get everything I need to finished so I can make plans this weekend, for myself, involving no one. However, when I cancel those plans of my own volition, not because other shit needs to get done, I'm not allowed to replace them with other plan for myself, involving no one. Apparently me canceling my plans means my time is up for grabs by others. I kind of wish I could go to work today and transfer the day off tomorrow to another weekend, because it feels like I'm wasting my time now, and I wish I hadn't busted my ass getting other projects completed to free up today for nothing.

Ah! But you admit that it is acceptable on the rare occasion, do you not?[/QUOTE]

This was not a pleasant experience. I think you guys are lying.

This evening has been productive on many ways, but not socially. In that way, it's been disappointing. Right now I'm waiting on a call that I know will go like this: "I know we had plans, but I'm not up to it." And that will be the second person to flake on me today. Aggravated.

My wife ran into that last Wednesday, Cajungal. I find that absolutely annoying. I can understand emergencies or lack of transportation, but if you make plans with someone, have the decency to make your best effort to show up.

Tell me about it, my cat used to make going to sleep so much easier when I first moved into my apt alone. Now he decides to sleep the entire day that I'm doing things around the house, and get active when I shut off the lights for bed.... I miss him just curling up in bed with me, now I've had to put him in the bathroom for the night at least a few times a week... ugh.

I have a cold. I went to work with out any cold medicine. So I pick some up at a grocers. I buy a box that is mixed Day-Quill and Night-Quill tablets. I thought cool, I leave most of the Day-Quill in my desk and take all the Night-Quill home. The damned things were mixed on the same cards. So to do what I wanted, I had to rip all the cards in half and take the Night-Quill halves home. Useless rant, but that was my day.

On the bright side, the person who I thought would cancel on me--who actually would have been justifed--sucked it up and went out with me last night. It was really fun. That other person is a girl friend who's been asking me over and over since I got back home to come out with her so we can have coffee and catch up, finally. To me, that means she and I hanging out so we can actually talk to one another. But yesterday, about an hour before we were supposed to meet, I got this mass text from her: "Calling all girls!!! We're going to have a Christmas get-together at __coffee place___! Come at 1 pm!" Sooo... no calling me and telling me she couldn't make it. No asking when would be a better time for us to catch up. Just that. I'm fine with a big get-together, but she's constantly pulling that shit on me. I never get to just talk to her because she wants to invite 2-3 other people at the last minute--usually her siblings. Then I get shut out because they talk about their stupid traditions and in-jokes non-stop, or I get shut out because I don't want to talk about her goddamn WoW characters.

And if I seem bitter about her family, it's because she thinks they're so superior to anyone else. She's dumped on other people's families because they're not enough like hers. They're really weirdly drawn to one another and always have this sense of smugness, as if to say, "Who wouldn't want to hear about our 3-hour Apples to Apples tournament?!" Ugh. Plus they're hyper-conservative and intolerant and joke about carpet bombing the middle east.

This isn't much of a rant. I just got a facebook friend invite from someone that I know I know I just can't remember from where. Now I have to decide if I want to add her or not. :doh:
