What irritates you?

heh...

here I thought I was the only one...and I was retarded or something...

well...I am...but thats besides the point...

I googled this, just to see what people are saying - difficult to put the cap back on the bottle.

Hmmmm. Well, then I'd better drink it up so it doesn't spill or go flat or something.

Then the sodium and/or sugar will make me thirstier faster and I'll go open another one.

I know not everyone falls for these tricks, but you can bet good old Coke designed this flaw right into the cap, on purpose.

I wonder how much more Coke they will sell now.

buy cans

O.K. Now, tell uncle Doxy what's going on...

That was a horrible, horrible joke...did anybody laugh???

Awwwww don't worry, be happy! :confused: :frown: :eyeroll:

Sticker shock when you buy a car is one thing, sticker shock when you get a paycheck is just plain ugly.

Hey girl, keep yer head up - your car still works, and at least you're not UN-employed. I'd loan you some of my vacation hours, but I don't think they can be exchanged easily...

My boss(es) were at least good enough to warn us; we had a company meeting last week and they told us that since 60%-70% of our manufacturing lines are directly related to the automotive industry, we're going to take a serious hit this summer. Last time it happened in 2001 most of the full-timers worked shorter (34-35 hour) weeks for about four months so we could stay afloat.

I really wanna know who that FICA dude is - they are making some serious cash out of my paycheck!

 :wink:

You just need to take the difference in office supplies me2. That's how the world balances itself out. :smile:

jk - it does suck when you get that first check but you need to remember that this last week was the hardest it's gonna get. If you're working like this for that kind of pay, it should be comforting to know you'll be getting the same pay for less work as you grow into your job. But I still feel for ya gal.

Paying close to $1000 for a house I don't live in

this site isn't accessible from my internet connection at work, AGAIN.

I think comcast is blocking it, as I can get in fine with a proxy.. Wonder if I can install a php style proxy on my website...

Stupid monkeybrains...

sciencecloak.info is the proxy i'm using now...doesn't have a bar on the top like most..

but man...i'm sure I'll have a new one 2mrw...thank god there is thousands of them...

what is a proxy and why would I want one?

I'm still laughing AT him, does that count?

And he thought it was funny that I didn't get it.

I liked your comment that I didn't get it because I watch quality porn, not old 70's stuff.

I can't get that out of my head now

brown chicken brown cow

brown chicken brown cow

in case you dont know the joke

 here it is.

I never heard that one before. Way funny! :sillygrin:

Stupid, but funny nonetheless. Perfect Jake joke

for the most part you don't want to use a proxy...

easy way to explain it....is :

A firewall mechanism that replaces the IP address of a host on the internal (protected) network with its own IP address for all traffic passing through it.

---

in other words....

Lets say I wanted to visit espn.com at work.... but my work blocks espn.com.....I can visit a proxy site that changes the ip....so my work doesn't know I'm looking at espn.com.

but...my work blocks proxy sites....so I need to find a new one almost daily just to access ableminds.

I have talked to my boss and his boss...they know i do this...and ok with it....

Speaking of cow jokes...

A cow, grazing in the clover, swallowed a bee.

The bee found itself in the cow's stomach, and it was warm there, so the bee fell asleep, and when he woke up, the cow was gone.

that's a joke out of the box - I love it!

never going to happen and haha!! oh wait!!???

Why and who???

ok I get it!!! lol!! :sheepish: :sheepish: :sheepish: :sheepish: :coolfrown: :coolfrown: :coolfrown:

my feet are KILLING me!!!!

Drunks

reminds me of an evanescence tune

Forgetting my cell at home. I feel nekid

idiots.

the world is FULL of them. and for some reason they all work with me.

I thought they all worked with KC

bwahaha :goofy:

Current count is 2.

Irony: When the director of IT recruiting, who, a month earlier turns down your request for transfer to his department because "you just don't have an IT background" comes to me this morning for help zipping a file because none of his recruiters know how to do it.

Taking the blame for something out of my control. Again.

So did you help him? Or deny his request saying you're not qualified? :wink:

Congresswoman Michelle Bachman - or at least whomever is sending out her garbage flyers.

We get a flyer about four times a year - just got a recent one last week.

Do you know that even in 'ritzy republican' Woodbury, Bachman only beat out Patty Wetterling by 40 votes out of about 6000? Not exactly a mandate.

Her promotional material is pure ultra-conservative propaganda, and the part that really irks me is the small print that says "This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense."

the flu. i feel horrid. i thought i was just hungover this morning. nope not the case. i'm sick. blah

Bummer. Hope ya feel better soon Vino!

Get well soon Vino

Thanks Ya'll.

I'm stuck at work (still sick) and the trucks were supposed to be here at 7 am - they weren't - they still aren't here.

I could have been SLEEPING.

but.. one nice thing - one of the guys I work with, went and got me a skinny latte at starbucks. someone loves me :pbpt:

mmmm.. tea.

lately I've been making my own coffee at work. I got one of those french press mugs at Dunn Bros with some of my winnings from the roseville hunt. It works fairly well, but ya do tend to get a little grit with your coffee.

The guy at the shop says they're great for loose leaf tea too, I haven't tried that yet. One thing I gotta learn is how to clean this thing properly to get rid of all the coffee oils....

I have a french press on my desk, that I use for coffee. One of the women here at work brought in another one that we use for loose leaf tea - it does make fantastic tea. They were both $14 each, so that may be an option to just have two.

I prefer my french press most days - but when I'm sick, nothing like someone bringing me a hot, skinny latte.

irritates: coming into work today - to find out that I messed up my trucking, doing a saving grace technique and shipping double tomorrow, but not only am I here, I've been here for 2 hours earlier than I ever come in. :barf:

oh vino - sorry to hear you were feeling icky :frown: BLAHHH!

Here's my french press mug. The nice thing about it is it's got a compartment in the bottom to hold extra coffee or whatever.

here is mine. the cup next to it, it fills about 75% of the way with one making. which seems to be just fine -then I don't spill it when trying to slurp and walk.

I hate drinking out of commuter mugs - the plastic taste drives me nuts.

Yeah I agree. But they do work well on the go. Here's the mug I use for tea (and to keep coffee hot). I got the warmer at a garage sale for some 50 cents. It works a ton better than one I paid 10 bucks for a while ago.

obviously we arn'tposting irritants but heres my coffeee and desk
