Still having a non-responsive computer. (taking to Geek Squad today). Fortunately having the kid's computer to get on-line. Dial-up only.

Needing to get the Wife's resume' off the broken computer so she can bring a copy with her to her first interview since she's been out of work in April. Having her car only use 2nd gear thus needing to share my car. ARRGGHH! :angry: :frown: :angry: :frown:

My car has said Check Engine for the last year. (on mine) it's something to do with the smog stuff, but since I don't have to smog where I register it - I just leave it.

Still runs the same.

I've ran my car for the last three years with that light on.

Computer diagnostics says it's a bad catalytic convertor on mine, but the car runs fine, so I leave it alone (those things are spendy, in fact I heard in some bad areas thieves cut em off cars because they're worth so much in either scrap metal or to someone needing a new one).

the shortcut link I used DAILY on my desktop - he says it didn't lead anywhere when he clicked on it so it didn't get transfered. I use it DAILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!how can it not work!!!!

yeah, an explorer one is about $500 bucks. it's only for smog stuff - so if you don't need it - it doesn't hurt your car to run it without.

oh sweetie. I am sooooo sorry. I know how you feel - that happened to me two years ago.

I now have a flash drive that I put all my personal stuff on. :0)

That sucks me2. I feel your pain. I might have to reformat my current drives in order for my computer to work again. I've already lost 3000 pictures when I had my old drive go out on me a couple of years ago. I can't afford to have another 6000 pix get lost this time. Luckily I did save some to disc this time around. But I just can't think of how much stuff one has on their drives and then to loose it all.

And in my case, loosing it during a fricken back-up session. :angry: :frown:

More sad than irritates:

Having a phone message for my wife that sounded like it was from an HR department where she applied for a job and, after getting up the nerve to call, finding out it was a bill collector for the same company instead. Talk about a sad day in the CM household. :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

yesh, that's no good.

Sorry too me2, that's no good. I wouldn't trust an IT department, I'd keep everything on disk or a handy thumb drive (best bet is copy to two drives, that way you've got some redundancy in case one thing gets wiped out somehow).

Speaking of which, I gotta backup my data again, can't imagine my computer's drive going out... yeck!

what pissed me off the most was that originally my computer wasn't supposed to be touched til January. I was getting past the annual meeting last week and birthday weekend and then gonna work on getting files where they needed to be before next month.

well, one of the girls I work with, her computer crashed Thursday. I was supposed to get her computer. She had it all backed up on the mainframe so she got a brand new computer and they loaded all her stuff back on it from the mainframe. Since this happened before January they decided to put a new hard drive in her crashed computer and give it to me! They didn't call me, they just did it on my day off and didn't call me!!!!!!!!! so, I come in to find a switched computer, her dusty speakers, her dusty keyboard!!!! Just last week I dusted my keyboard and changed the fonts and stuff on my computer to where I wanted it all to be.

So today they found out that my computer was not nightly backing up into the mainframe like everyone elses!!! at least I had a green m&m platter of Christmas m&m's on my desk :smile: :sheepish:

WoW CM, sorry to hear about that- ironic! how many companies are there in the world and she puts an application in with them? maybe they'll give a deal to people that work there :wink: I've heard lately that the job market is tight and even the holiday work is hard to find. I'd try Macys if I needed a job - holidays and discounts :smile: and everyone looked to be in the Christmas spirit and smiling and helpful- people that are nice to be around.

I did a holiday stint at an express store in the mall. turned out my computer guru side was better than my customer service side, and i got paid more money to load the inventory into the computer in back, rather than work the front.

That was really nice!

I have more storage than one can shake a stick at. It's just not to enticing that the thing crashes when performing the actual backup itself. We are looking onto a MAC. I haven't heard many negative things about a Mac.

Ares,

Same deal w. Nordstroms c/ the purses.

When I was in mexico - I almost bought a knock off Hermes. (like the one martha stewart carries that costs 5k) it was a really really really good copy. I mean really good, and it was about 200 bucks. But I just couldn't see myself with a 200 purse.

Umm.. yeah... that's messed up. You'd think common sense would've intervined...

If they'da called me in to watch the girl, A, I would've left the room and told the girl to put her clothes back on, B, found another phone to call the real cops, and C, kept the guy on the line until the cops could apprehend him at the place he was making the call from.

In a world where there are some people who are "not the brightest bulb on the tree" those folks are what we call "low-hanging ornaments."

When I was in college I worked in gift wrap at Daytons during the Christmas season. Best job ever! Lots of people had their gifts wrapped back then and were mostly in a good mood.

I rode the bus downtown and the bus driver knew the regulars by name, and one of my all-time favorite memories is working Christmas Eve until the store closed at 5:00 and riding the bus home during a beautiful snowfall and the driver leading us in carols.

Now you've got me going.

I also remember that at the Christmas party, which every single employee was invited to, Kenneth Dayton walked around the room and greeted each of us individually.

I loved Daytons :frown:

sadly in this day and age, the busdriver would probably get sued for doing that, or at least a heavy reprimand from the bus company.

I like Macy's.. but I miss the Emporium and Capwells when they merged with Macy's. Emporium carried different lines of clothing.

I still have Magnums out here in the city. (before my time) My mother dated the son of the owner of the store. She has lots of lovely furs and expensive lounging suits etc.

I think I'm going to the city tomorrow night for a bonfire on the beach - and maybe a trip past macy's in union square where they make it snow outside.

This jingle from '76 still irritates me...

This is a slightly irregular radio commercial for a slightly irregular store (...three, four).

Hurrah's is the name and what we sell here is irregular clothes but they're just slightly irregular...

..they're so slighty irregular you hardly even see or care you oughta get yourelf a blouse, or smock or shirt or jeans to wear...

you never really know what we have at Hurrah's but whatever we have is reeeeeally cheap!

MOMS! gotta love em!

my mom fell yesterday afternoon from a ladder while putting up new curtains - I was gonna take her to the hospital at 11 last night (when the pain was unbearable) but my sister is cramming for finals so she drove her - she said she could pull an "all nighter" studying at the hospital while waiting on xrays. Turns out mom has a terrible sprained ankle (which I've heard is worse than a break). :frown: - I'm gonna try to help her this weekend while cramming shopping in.

I have a great sister

irritates - how rough my co-ed league soccer division is. (my team is cool though)

at one point last night one of the boyz of the team was up against a girl to get the ball near the wall, and she started hitting him and he can't do anything. So - what did I do? I flung myself between them and the *B* hit me in the back of the head. She got yellow carded and I got warned -cause after she hit me, I threw her down to the ground.
