    This nightshift isn't going well. First there were technical problems on the other end, and they had to call techies out of bed to fix it, causing a delay, and now there's a techincal problem on my end, and my boss is on his way here to help me fix it. Ugh.

    Getting a new contract with Vodafone was pretty bad. I went for a renewal but had a specific request wrt my number. What I needed was a new number and that new number should be a number with a prefix from a list of pre-approved prefixes. So I am at this store and I get a salesperson who's talking like he's memorized a script but who doesn't really react to the things I say. At one point during the conversation I say, just to make sure I won't get a wrong number, that I want to see the number before we make everything final. On which he goes off on a tangent about keeping my number with the new contract. Which is exactly what I don't want. I try to get this in sideways, but he doesn't understand what I say about wanting a number from a specific group of numbers and he simply continues his explanation on how keeping my number works. Then I look at him and ask him if he would please stop his explanation. After which he looks at me and says 'now, that wasn't very friendly'. I told him then that I would prefer to continue with one of his collegues or try my luck at an other store.

    His collegue didn't quite understand my needs either, but she translated that into asking me an explanation. After which the whole thing was done within 5 minutes. Galaxy SIII is sweet, even though I won't be using it.

    Well you can send it to me, I know someone who needs one (assuming it is lock-free).

    Hey back off you, I just said I won't be using it, not that it wouldn't be used.

    Trying to clean my laptop, so I wanted to take off the keyboard. Unscrewed the screws, unlocked the locking tabs.. and it will move, in the top middle, but the sides seem stuck not sure if I should try to use more force, or not.

    And I accidentally dislodged the F1 key. Ugh.

    Hey, try getting multiple phone calls per day, week after week, from a collection agency, for bills your ex owes.

    It's a double whammy. Not only is the agency bothersome (and quite rude) that borders on harassment, but it's even worse to keep living with my ex's baggage TWELVE YEARS after our divorce.

    I admit that I didn't read the site nearly as much as I used to, but it always sucks to suddenly have part of your childhood close up for good.

    GameSpy shut down today


    holy shit, 1up got the axe too. wtf IGN

    Single again. Too numb to really react to it. Wish I had someone to go get drunk with.

    boil notice was lifted a few minutes ago. I was going to grumble about how working today meant working with a lot of people who haven't bathed in 2 days, but thats no different than any other day in this place.
