Actually the joke was going to be " our power company went out of business, they turned the lights off on the way out the door".

Ironically the first email i got after internet came back was next month's bill.

So, last weekend. no internet.  This weekend no power.  

Maybe you should pay your bills. Did you ever think of that?

What you really need is wireless wires, or something like that :)

Damned typos.

At work:  " bla bla grab it bla bla"  came out as "bla bla grab tit bla bla"

And yes, there was one email on the thread female, AND had to be HR people.  Thankfully she either didnt notice or realized it was a typo.

LMAO

Trip 1 - "we dont have anything" "my doctor called it in 2 days ago, and i talked to someone on the phone yesterday that said come today" "Oh, i see it, will be ready tomorow at 3:30."

Trip 2 - "its not done, come back tomorow"

Trip 3 - "it will be done tomorow at 430"

wtf people.

Holidays put me in a bad mood. ( if that isn't already apparent.) I should stop posting ( several places ) for a few days.

And why do people feel its their obligation to talk to you at the checkout line? Get your damned food scanned, paid for, and gtfo.  you are in my way.  This inst a social club. its a freaking grocery store. I really dont want to hear about your adult children or what they tried to make for dinner last night and ruined.

I was even wearing my 'ewwww people' shirt.  should have been a hint.

Daily rant:

• Around 9am: "For 3 dollars shipping, or 35 dollars more of qualifying items, you can get it today" ( town next door, is now owned by Amazon in effect. soooo many warehouses and transfer hubs )
• Nah, not on a 8 dollar non-important item. Tomorrow is fine. "Arrives by 10pm tomorrow"  Sort of late in the day, but ok, it saves me a trip to town.
• Tomorrow comes, 9:30, still not even shipped.   
• 10pm comes "delayed. be there by 10p, tomorrow " Grumble Should have drove to the big box store up in town and fought the holiday crowd anyway. 
• Next morning ( today ) "we dont know, it might get there someday, it might not, but if if never gets to you we will refund you"  WTF get your act together, either you had it or you dont. *cancel order* Going to big box store at lunch today, F-them   
• "cancellation may not happen, we will try" Really?

Was just a tube of thermal paste as even tho i have a tub of the stuff i cant find it anywhere. Grrrr!   Bought that tub a few years ago "now that i dont do this stuff for a living, this will last me the rest of my life" 

Upgrading a low end i5 to an older xeon in a 'spare' 'tiny m83p' to test out, and would be a good idea to have some paste so i dont cook dinner on it. If it works well enough might do my entire mini-server farm as they are all the same platform. ~ 100 bucks a chip.

Considering its thermal paste, that is where its going to come from regardless if i have it sent to me, or i go get it. Same brands, same manufacturers, it just would have saved me dealing with people.
