My latest gripe is people that say "one more day!" at the start of work on Thursday. I realize I'm in the minority on this...but there's really still TWO days to go at that point.

I used to argue with them, but it's like shoveling sand against the tide. They say, "you're already here, the hard part's over", but that BULL! Let's see, you woke up, you took a shower, you had a little nibble and drove for a while. THAT'S the hard part? Hell, you usually do all of that stuff on a day off! The HARD part's getting through the work day. Unless you're one of those lucky ones that love their work. But if you are, you wouldn't be going around cheerfully saying "ONE MORE DAY" on Thursday!

I can see cheese being an ingredient when it is under everything else. But it should be a topping when you want to add it on top of everything else. LOL

The Memorial Wall has a section at the very bottom titled 'Unknown Year'.
You mean to tell me nobody knows what year these Mariner Alumni belong to? Nobody has a yearbook with these people in it? Nobody remembers them from school? NOBODY?? Really?

Pizza restaurants, especially the big chains, that offer some great deal with 2 or 3 free toppings of your choice for one low price. So you ask for one of those free toppings to be cheese and they respond with "I'm sorry but cheese is not a topping, it's an ingredient.. if you want extra cheese you will have to pay extra for it".
ARGHHH!

Help: What do you mean dead?
C: Just dead.
H: What's on the screen?
C: Nothing it's blank.
H: OK, can you hear if the fans running in the computer?
C: Nope, they're quiet.
H: Is it plugged in?
C: Hold on the plug is under the desk...(a few minutes of shuffling around)
C: I can't tell if it's plugged in or not. The lights are out in the building and I can't see a thing under there.

Some REAL computer technical support questions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tech support: What kind of computer do you have?
Female customer: A white one...

Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?
Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.

Customer: I can't get on the Internet.
Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Tech support: Can you tell me what the password was?
Customer: Five stars.

A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech support: Are you running it under windows?
Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

I'm no computer brainiac, but I think the purpose of the "not responding" is to tell you that the problem is in the program and not your operating system. If they said nothing, you might not know.

Give Microsoft a break... If you were on the phone "help line".. you would have some girl call you and tell you her computer stopped working.. and then you might respond by saying.. "have you tried plugging it in"??...

Trust me, you would NEVER survive on a computer help line.

As in the Computer Machine.

Have you ever had your computer hung up for a while, then this really intuitive message appears in the program title bar "Microsoft Word - not responding". Key phrase NOT Responding. The fact that I've been sitting here for one whole minute in a row with my computer doing nothing is evidence enough that it's "not responding". But Bill Gates in all his programming genius flashes this really informative message "NOT Responding". Thanks Bill I never would have figured that one out by myself.

Laundry detergent bottles with the little spigot on the side, are designed so at least 5 loads worth of soap remain on the bottom when it seems to be empty. But the real pisser is there is no way to balance the bottle until it all drains to the opening.
Maybe I could hire Vince Shlomi (Shamwow guy) to sell "laundry detergent balancers". He could offer a Lint Lizard and a "laundry detergent bottler balancer" for the low low price of 3 easy payments of $19.99.

Anybody else notice all the clever ways these national pizza chains have found to sell us their crust? Breadsticks, bread bites, whatever slick name they give it, it's still just lightly flavored pizza dough...the CHEAPEST ingredient they have to offer.

I'm reminded of that revolutionary pizza I think Domino's came up with. It was already divided into squares. So basically it was just a regular sized pizza with wide margins of crust tic tac toed throughout it. Less toppings and more crust at the same price. BRILLIANT! Some executive got a huge bonus for coming up with that scam.

Some Hispanic/Latino news broadcasters speak in clear, distinct American accent. But when they say their name they speak with a Spanish accent, rolling their "r's" etc.

What other broadcaster- people do that?.. not the Irish, not the Italians, not the French, not the... .....

Regarding E.coli and salmonella. A few month ago there was a really old ( 1960's black and white) Julia Child episode on PBS.
She handled 4 different chickens for 15 minutes without a care in the world about cross contamination anything.

I do the repeated hand wash thingy too. The whole world is afraid of everything in Twenty First century.

Yup. I miss the old phones that had the headset part separate from the button part. So you could listen simultaneously while pressing "uno para English".

I DO LIKE web sites where the little chat window comes up and you can type in questions and git answers while on-line. And they don't care how slow you type either.

I work all day on our website.. doin back flips to entertain you bozo grasshoppahs...

In the evening to late morning I'm laying on the couch watching TV.

In the late evening to late morning.. 99% of what's on TV is.. infomercials... mostly "weight loss-exercise bull shit.

There must be a billion exercise equipment and dance crap that you can do to lose weight and get into shape.

GOD HOW I HATE THAT CRAP ON MY TV... I have the very, very simple answer to all that weight loss-get in shape crap.

I shouldn't give the secret away.. but I will.. just cause I'm in a pissy mood.. here is the secret:

DON'T GET FRIGGEN OLD!!!!

Call centers that ask you to enter your account number now, and then start talking again. So just as you take the cell phone from your ear to type your numbers you hear talking and think you're missing vital instructions.

My gripe is not be able to handle meats like chicken, hamburger, turkey etc. with out having to wash your hands every two minutes for fear of ecoli. Not being able to touch any thing in your kitchen like faucet handles, drawer handles, salt and pepper shakers etc with out contaminating every thing . Drives me mad. What happened to the good old days when you could cook your hamburgers medium rare with out fear of dying.

OK, now I have a plan. I do park st the farthest spot from the doors of the store. Now I'll just cheat and park far, but closer to the OK Corral. I call that taking a little and giving a little. And making ns happier if he goes to the same store some day.
