Oh I know! It was cute yesterday morning, now it's lame. I keep accidentally plucking strings as I mouse past them. Twang. Twang.

I have lived in a "cabin" for the last 30 years. Not all it's cracked up to be.:) Especially in the winter.:)

Where I worked in the valley, people would say their going up to their ranch or cabin, and come to find out their were
only a block away from me. My pet peeve is the going to the "ranch" this weekend or telling people back east they live on
a "ranch". Their are plenty of "ranches" in the valley.:)

just got off of the phone with netflix because i had an account problem where i could not access it. i told them that the new watch instantly page sucks and the operator said that there has been tons of complaints about it and this may only be a temporary test page.

When people say just design something that looks good, but don't really spend any time on it.

Code for: I want something awesome, but don't want to pay for it.

That's tough man...

Thought you were referring to someone else at first, was thinking to myself "I SAID I'd pay!!"

LOL. No, this is Mike's perfectionist/bad ass self/pride in his work self coming out (which is a good thing, btw). If someone asks for quality work, it's going to take time, so the oxymoron of "looks good" and "don't take any time" is the rub. LOL

When I forget how many onions I moved around on my burger and then later pick my nose

When people talk for babies.... instead of saying something directly to another adult... telling the other adult what the baby supposedly wants.
Example: A mom says (when the dad is present), "Dad, I just want to be turned over." or "Dad, I just want to be fed."

Yeah, I have the same problem with jalapeños and scratching my ass.

Copies of copies of copies....and so on. Just keep an original. At my old work, I made an "originals" binder and that's all that was in there... it was great!!

I hate those papers with little black dots all over the place and where the typed words are no longer straight on the page.

SQL Developers.
Maybe not all of them, but the ones I have to deal with for sure. Most of them don't know their head from their ass. I always get the most complex errors and crap from them. "I don't know how to fix it dude, you're the SQL programmer, you fix it."



Is that not a (You can't create a table, because a table with that name already exists) error? He insists that's not the problem. I googled another error he gave me and most results said "Close the Excel file before trying to import it in SQL". Ahhrgh!

More like a small annoyance and observation.

Seems whenever I am expecting something to come in and they haven't yet, and I email the company to "check on the status," I get an email back with a too-fresh-to-track tracking number stating oh they just shipped today.

Of course then there's the story of my "free replacement" conceal holster that hasn't come in in 2 months *ahem*

All related, the HG Flags are on there way to me as of.... oh there's the tracking number now.

Man, that dude is starting to piss me off! I just emailed him again on your behalf. If he doesn't get his crap together, I will find you another MFG. Dang, and I like his holster, too! It's pissing me off!

You know... it's one thing to piss customers off if you are in the Stuffed Animal or Papere Towel business... you would think vendors would think twice about pissing off customers when your main business involved fire arms...
