What irritates you?

hmmm... I haven't been called for Jury Duty since I was 18.

:smile: :smile: :smile:

somehow they seem to miss me.

I've never been called... :chagrin:

I haven't been called back since I shot that judge. :eyeroll:

You're not supposed to get caught.... you always have someone in your gang do it, from a rooftop across the street.

I was that guy.

damnit!

See... then your gang probably lacked the guy who's supposed to go up before-hand and search for video cameras, and then report back to you, so you know where to position yourself....

duh.

amatuers :eyeroll:

::slams head on desk:: -- positioning and video cameras :sheepish: :goofy: :ooh:

I gotta stay outa these threads for a while

Irritation -

defrosting the basement freezer...

and the fact that the new secondary fridge we just got (also for the basement) has a couple of defective parts, making it so the freezer part doesnt work, and the actual fridge part freezes everything you put in it.

add to that - dumbass "fix-it" guys who know nothing about their jobs, other than to look at it for 45 minutes, and say "hmm... it shouldnt be doing this. Thats kinda weird"...

I wanted to punch the dork in the face.... if I was able to fix it myself, he wouldnt have had to come out here and tell me the same thing I figured out a buncha hours earlier.

now I gotta wait on some other guy to come here (which probably wont happen til ATLEAST Monday), and see exactly what kind of part it needs, because the first guy didnt know anything.... even though I suggested as to what might be wrong with it - I'm probably right too.

half thinking about buying the part myself, and fixing the damn thing, and then charging THEM for the work.

Lotta weird things when you get into repairing stuff though. Taken from my end of the perspective, it sucks to go to someone's place, have something that isn't working, and you're not able to figure out the solution. That kinda pressure makes me think working long hours away from repairing stuff isn't all that bad...

that brings up an interesting semi-related point. Why did Caribou choose today to setup all their christmas stuff at their stores? Is there some significance?

We were wondering that last night when the guys were in. They just said they do what they're told.

Oh, and it's holiday decorations not Christmas decorations - I was corrected too :eyeroll:

bah humbug....

same here

Talking about Christmas decorations........ :ooh: ...

Diggin' daughter is out on her own now is wondering if anyone has an old, or extra, small artifical tree (~6') and/or any extra decorations that she can have/purchase for reasonable $$$. Young kids on their own starting out - - - happy but broke

 :sheepish:

it won't help for this year, but tell her Target after xmas - I got a great fake tree 2 years ago - original price $300 - my price? $47.50.

Goodwill always has a lot of Target's last year merchandise this time of the year. You can get a tree for under $20.

oops I posted that wrong. She was called exactly two years to the day and has to serve. Sorrry about the confusion

suduko.

I've never played it before - and in less than a half an hour finished 5 of the 'easy' puzzles. I don't get it - it's not fun, it's not a challenge.

I guess I need a harder book. trying to find things to do at work, that don't involve the internet. NOT easy. today I read all of psychology today, and a travel mag.

Thanks OT - great suggestion - I will check it out.

Working the day after thanksgiving... again...

Temps get it off cause they'd get paid extra to work it, plus it'll be dead around here. One coworker already asked for it off, and the boss? Yeah he won't be here, but we just HAVE to cover phones for anyone that cares to waste their day calling in orders for office supplies. Usually we get 3 or 4 calls for the day, and everytime I've advocated to close the place for that day the next year, there's just enough calls placed to prove me wrong.

Consolation is I could take Monday off (which isn't a consolation, Friday gives you a 4day weekend, Monday just allows you to dread Tuesday).. meh, screw that, obviously I don't have enough respect here to be able to take the day I'd want off (because 95% of the non-retail world takes it).

Too bad you aren't a drinker - night before thanksgiving is the biggest bar night of the year. THAT is my day, (or I guess you'd say night)

I have it off - think I'll paint my guest room. I don't do the shopping thing that day - too many idiots out there.

night before thanksgiving is the biggest bar night of the year

You are correct mamn! :cool:

call in sick. What they gonna do?

I'm at work now

I was here at 5:45 last night and the phone rang

I pick it up and say our name

the guy on the other end says "whos working so late"

I jokingly say "whos calling so late"
I said it in the same way Julia Roberts says "then stop calling me" in Pretty Woman - I love that part!

he laughs and says his name, turns out he's a board member. teehee

he goes on to say he's having dinner over at Kincaids and sees the lights still on over here and wanted to know WHO could possibly be working late on a Friday night. I told him I had people waiting on things and I like to keep them happy and wanted some of it out before the weekend.

I get brownie points :smile:

:grin: very nice irration!

I thought the biggest bar night of the year was St. Patricks day?

atleast it is for me, anyhow.... cause 3/16 is my b-day. :cool:

irritates - hang overs, bruises, getting my butt kicked in soccer.

but over all - live is pretty sweet.

I think hangovers and bruises come in a package together.

no kidding. and the what the hell did I do last night? is part of the deal too.

And 'who the hell did I do' too :wink:

and lets not forget the ever popular - "how did I get home?", which sometimes is accompanied by "where did I leave my car?"

:frown:

I'M NOT A PREMO MEMBER :wink:

who did I do. what the hell did I drink. how did I get home. How has my car. what was his name again? who put all these drunk txt mssgs in my phone. Did I really show my ____ to that guy? who is this in my bed? where am I, and why are my clothes folded neatly next to the bed.

yes - all very good questions.

hell, I can do most of that sober!

ALMOST BEING IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE IT TO "THE PARK" AND BACK TO WORK ON A LUNCH BREAK...

I'M NOT EVEN SURE OF THE FASTEST ROUTE...

Maybe you should ask Kitch what the shortest route is. Oh wait.... :goofy:

I'VE GOT AN AUTOROUTING GPS IN MY CAR...I'LL FIGURE IT OUT WHEN I GET OUT THERE...

SUCKER IS AMAZING ACCURATE...

<--JUST LOOKED..DON'T SEE CLUEMASTER IN I.G.H. IN MY DATABASE

Whew! :confused:

I got on someones list at Cellular one. They keep telling us to pay our bill. Problem is we don't have an account with them. I tried to e-mail them through the "about us" link on the website and the mail gets kicked back as undeliverable. I'm really getting sick of their calls. Who do I talk to about this? I might send regular mail to them next.

REG. MAIL...CEASE AND DESIST...

BIG TIME LAWSUIT IF THEY DONT...THAT SIMPLE
