lanipcga: It's usually a defense mechanism to mask their own unhappiness. They get a rise out of trolling or hurting others, but in the end, nothing gets solved. That's the sad reality.

tinyE: it's too fucking depressing to think about.

tinyE: TBH it makes me want to give up and off myself.

tinyE: donton1234's posts aren't even low rated.

the least we could do is get them that way so they aren't there for people he hasn't ruined it for to read when they come in here. If he wants to be the world's biggest asshole, let's AT LEAST make it a challenge for him.

fr33kSh0w2012: Our Internet is SCREWED in Australia

I get on average:

THIS!

ANNOYING

tinyE: I get four good radio stations up here and the 2nd has just been bought out by Fox. The music is the same, which is great, but now between every two songs I get a fucking FoxNews Update, and it takes away whatever groove I had going on listening to the music.

Looks like I'm going back to CDs full time.

Now while FoxNews is obviously a joke, that's not why I'm really pissed. I'm really pissed because these are rock stations, not news stations. When I was a kid rock stations played rock music, interrupted occasionally by weather and traffic reports, nothing else. If you wanted news you could spin the dial and find dozens of perfectly good news stations.

Keep the news away from my rock n roll; I don't care if the news is coming from the left, right, or somewhere in the 8th dimension, just keep it away from my music.

tinyE: My folks are having the annual B&B Christmas party so I of course have barricaded myself in my room.

lanipcga: I know the feeling! We're having an obnoxious relative over tomorrow, so I'm not feeling jolly. Why do my parents keep inviting the obnoxious ones?!?!

Fairfox: Forget teh a-holes, teh ice holes are, liek, uber dangerous 'round here at teh moment. One slip, bam! Neck gets cricked to death. My life is on teh icy precipice. I insist on non-comfort shoes at all tiemz.

HereForTheBeer: Damn UPS. Customer emailed Thursday, looking for a part. I'm on vacation but I have a source for the stuff they needed. Said their machine was down, so it was urgent. Got in touch with my vendor, he had the thing in stock, so I emailed over a packing list and asked that he drop-ship it direct via UPS Next Day Air Early AM. Not cheap, but cheaper than the machine sitting there doing nothing.

Customer emails the next day in a panic. Where's our part? Uh, UPS has it? Tracked it, UPS says it hasn't been picked up. Called the vendor - yes, UPS came by and picked it up. Great. So either the vendor didn't actually give it to the driver, or the driver didn't scan it. Either way, the customer is looking to me for their part and their machine is down while they have orders to fill that day.

Called the maintenance guy over there to see what problem they were having, since that part doesn't normally knock the machine out of commission. I think I got them sorted with a workaround - we'll see what they say Tuesday morning.

Still, -grrr- at UPS. And since they say it was picked up Friday, they show it as on-time for delivery even though it's a day late. No refund for the late shipment, then.
