Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
I'll have to pop open a Founders Porter just to get over that one!
How high-stress has your work been? That could be a factor.
Virtually stress free. Same as home. I guess I'll just chalk it up to holiday stress. I mean, I do still have a lot of baking and candy making to do, and gift wrapping, and I do actually still need to address and send all of my holiday cards (they'll be getting out late, but they'll get there), and as readers of the Holiday Traditions thread know, my recent holidays haven't exactly gone swimmingly, so there's some added stress from that.
Interesting. All the snow is washed away already in Vancouver!
My daughter's running a low-grade fever. Colds and flu have been running rampant so it was our turn, but damn...couldn't it wait until after Christmas? This also means we won't be going to see The Hobbit tonight. :/
I don't know either. If she's sick, then her brother will probably get it too. The movie - well, it's going to be in theaters for a bit longer I would assume, but getting everything coordinated between my husband's schedule and the sitter is always interesting. On the positive side, I'm pretty sure she just has a cold since hers always starts with a fever and then the other symptoms kick in after a day or two. Plus she's still eating like she hasn't had food in a week,
The finance company for my car loan is bat shit loony. I have a 60 month loan, and I'm 47 months into it. My payment is due on the 21st of each month, and always has been. I've never missed a payment. In fact, I've never been more than 3 days late on a payment, and the only time that occurred was when I'd made arrangements with my account manager to process a payment, and they didn't do it, and when I noticed that the payment wasn't pending against my checking account, I called in and made the payment as soon as they opened the following Monday. However, all of that being said, they still email me, call me, and text me every month as a "courtesy reminder" to let me know that my payment is due on the 21st (my credit really, really sucked when I bought the car, so I'm guessing they deal with a fair amount of deadbeats that don't pay their loans). This month, however, I've received two "courtesy reminder" emails from two separate account managers (neither of whom is my regular account manager), telling me that my payment is due on the 20th. If they're going to send me a "courtesy reminder" they could at least do me the courtesy of getting the information right.
Near the top right corner of each post is a little arrow thing, hover over that and it will give a list of options about what to do with that post or really anything else you want to do with it.
THANK YOU.
You're welcome, I've do it to quite a few games, and I try not to do it to others on the two games I play.
More than 3/4s done my paper...computer restarts causing my paper to not save. I HATE YOU MICROSOFT!
Charlie's? I always see him as Gasbandit in quotes.
If you were using word, check your save folder. It should make a temporary save every ten minutes or so.
This is also why you save your paper first thing, even before writing, as word will make continuous backups.

It's wonderful for hiding political posts. I have a standing "no political arguments on FB" policy, frankly because most of the people I went to HS with were and are idiots. So whenever I see one, I hide it, lest I be tempted. It's hard, too. Especially when they set up magical, non-existent liberal strawmen who do all kinds of crazy stuff. It's like "liberal" is the boogeyman.
The last day at work before a vacation is maddening. I want out, now please.
I'm merely hours away from a week long vacation. And 2 days away from spending it in Disneyland. I just...I wants it.

I'm imagining you sitting in a cubicle, surrounded by luggage and stuffed animals, and reminding them every 30min or so, "It's OK. We'll be leaving soon. It'll be all right. Just a little bit longer now."

I'm being really immature and unproductive at work today. It's fun but I feel guilty.[DOUBLEPOST=1356109532][/DOUBLEPOST]Also I think I might have annoyed my boss more than I meant to when I started playing QWOP in lieu of my actual job. And bragging about it.
Every report that I've sent for the past 2 months has been completely inaccurate. Not through any fault of my own, but because the data source is, while not corrupt, highly inaccurate. The report recipients requested all incidents 20+ days old be reported on in a running tally, so they could determine which languages needed more support and which could use a cut (for efficiency and profit sake, of course). Unfortunately, the system reports that X number of incidents have been open 20+ days, when in actuality each of those X incidents may have been opened and closed any number of times. What we actually need to know is how many incidents have been idle for more than 24 hours. As it is, vendors are taking hits to their SLAs because an incident opened 260+ days ago has been responded to by a new customer with a new or similar issue, and the system says "OMG! Why aren't you working this 260+ day old incident?! You're all a bunch of slackers!" instead of creating a new incident for the new response.
I can understand why, in a business where vendor companies are frequently paid based on how many incidents they close per day/month/year, you wouldn't want each and every response to create a new incident; but if you're going to set up a system the way we have it now, at least report using an accurate number.

Been waiting all week full of 10-11 hour work days to play Skyrim. Woke up, did laundry, cleaned animal cages, got kitchen picked up. Finally, Skyrim time. Start playing.
Then my wife wakes up at 2 pm, sits down, and starts backseat-driving the game. After a few minutes, I shut it off and asked if she wanted to play. "Oh, no, I don't feel like it."

Every time I make oatmeal M&M cookies it's because I have forgotten I made them before and didn't like them much. Guess what I made this year. :/
