Doesn't help that you're probably getting shorter as well.

Theoretically I could stop the conversation I'm more or less 'forced' to overhear by going out to the car and getting my ballbat, so I'm technically not 'forced' to, but whatever.

I'm currently 'forced' to listen to a yammering, pointless conversation which included the admonition that if someone is really dedicated enough to doing so, a person can defeat cancer through sheer mind and willpower.

And I'm the one that's indigent.

Incidentally, the person that said that is wearing a sport coat.

i sell IT security equipment to schools. i sold our solution to a district in OK thats rather large about 2 months ago. well finally on tuesday they decided to set it up. only to let us know that they were handing out chromebooks to students that evening at backpack night and everything needed to work.

well it didn't and they spent the entire tuesday evening complaining via email about it. well it turns out they have 2 people working on this project and its apparent 1 wanted our product and 1 very much didn't. the one that didn't is already complaining to the superintendent that "i told you so". so i come into the office on wedn and deal with it. turns out she didn't configure anything correctly or the way she was instructed (refused to get on the phone with us because she was soooo busy) and our guy fixed it in seconds once we were given access to the box (they hadn't done that either)

this is a fairly normal occurance. especially right now when guys have bought the product months ago and have to implement it asap because "KIDS ARE BACK TOMORROW!!!"

Me either again. #2 goes back for second year in a couple weeks. Nothing was ever the same for #1 after taking her back for second year. #2 is on dean's list. #1 is gone...

Had that feeling as my eldest graduated junior high this past spring. Hit like a ton of bricks. The feeling passed but a lot of firsts coming up in next few years.

I'm upset the Stormwatch thread doesn't end in a bunch of exclamation points this year. It's been on my mind for a couple of months now.

Internet just went down in our office about 15minutes ago. Annoying, but not a big deal. I call IT.

Me; Yeah this is Frank in Chicago, we are down
IT Guy; Of course you are. We know
Me; Oh, ok. Well when will we be back up?
IT; 16 minutes. Maybe 20. We have to install a new firewall
Me; Oh. Ok. This has to be done now?
IT; Yes. We took you off line. Didn't you get the email we sent?
Me; No.
IT; Oh, well I sent it about 10 minutes ago
Me; I've been down for 15! Let me ask you this. How am I supposed to receive an email if our entire computer system here is down?
IT; ........Oh. Um....we'll get you back up as soon as we can.


Fucking christ. Can't anybody pick up phone and call people anymore?

They immediately decided to install a new firewall?

That's usually a thing you schedule in advance. At least more than 15 minutes notice.

That's why I was pissed. If we have to be down briefly, thats fine. But give me a little bit of warning.

I did finally get the email. It was sent at 12:07pm. And it was sent to FrankZ@ not FrankC@.
