Does he have freakishly huge calf muscles?
Not as huge as inky's...but his most prominent feature is his freakishly huge stomach/abdominal area.
-
It could be worse. She could be #%^$#!ing him and come home stress free.
If you ever see this guy, you'd totally understand why that would never happen.
-
Depends how long he has been married. My filter has been running for a while now.
12+ years. My filter has officially been worn out.

#1 - I picked the Devils & Sharks to come out of their respective conferences.
#2 - My wife's boss....he's blaming everything under the sun on her when the reasons those problems occur are 100% out of her control. She calls me a couple of times a day about this and she's (unfortunately) bringing the stress home with her. I'm ready to break this guy's nose.

My inbox keeps piling up with new stuff to do here at work. Each message says something about it being top priority. Yeah, that really gives me an idea of what to do next. I had just started to get things back in order here over the past week, but now it's chaos again. Would someone please give me a couple million dollars so I don't have to deal with this anymore? I'll take you golfing with me.
I love it when people tag the message so that our email software labels it as a "high priority" and the sender really thinks it'll be treated as such. That seemed to be the "in" thing to do about 5 years ago....if it's really THAT important, one would think a phone call is in order.
I've been in a bad mood all day....it seems to be national "I have a problem and you need to help me fix it" day. I guess I'll go golfing tomorrow whether or not someone gives me a couple million.

I simply can't stand everyone involved in this NYS employee layoff stuff. Not that state employees should be exempt from being laid off (I am one myself), but when the leaders start acting like 6-year-olds because they're all too arrogant, stubborn, and spoiled, it makes you want to throw a brick through a brick wall.
-
Arrogant people....especially those who walk up to your desk and start blabbing about their needs while you're in the middle of trying to fix something else.
-
Oh, and why can't I leave for the frozen four in DC right now? 2 more weeks?
I hate that too. 12 good games this weekend, then you have to wait 11 days for the FF.

My #1 complaint....Governor David Paterson.
-
I was sick of the word "bracket" even before Sunday. It's making me :sick: at this point.
-
You must be in a Federal Building!
Let's just say it's not a *federal* building.
-
More seriously, this time: Pedestrians who run out into oncoming traffic, and then stop running and start strolling across the street, as if they're NBA defenders who have established position in the paint or something. The worst that can happen is not a sore jaw and a charging foul, you idiots; it's my car pulverizing your femur to a fine powder when I can't stop in time.
And I walk a LOT; my complaint is not about pedestrians in general.
I have an issue with the pedestrians in my office....those who walk slow enough to milk the last 5 hours of their day by going to the restroom & back.

I've got an almost-13-year-old Pug/Chuhuahua mix that does the pacing thing, too. She can't sit still and has back troubles. It's tough to watch when there's nothing you can do about it.
Bingo. Mine is now starting to regularly snap at me in the morning when I pick her up...not a good sign. :(
-
This sounds like a good thing...oh wait...you're married. Sorry! :thumbsup:
I typically get the same reaction from a couple of co-workers, along with an "atta boy!"...then they realize I'm married.
-
My almost-13-year-old dog (shih tzu) decides she wants to pace on the bed at 3:30am this morning. She usually doesn't do that, so it's a clear sign that she's gotta go. The wife gets up to take her out and then neither of us get any sleep for the rest of the night.
-
THe twins bridges on the Northway there are god awful, never in my life have i seen a place where people slow down to a crawl to cross a bridge with no toll booths!!!!
And the particular sign I'm thinking of is the one that's about a half-mile from those bridges on the southbound lanes. That usually makes crossing the bridges that much more difficult.
-
We're still doing these, right?
Complaint #1 - Nobody had started this thread yet.
Complaint #2 - Overhead electronic road signs. We've had them on I-87 in the Albany area for several years, but about 99% of the time, they're blank. The idea (which is a good one, IMO) is to inform motorists of any potential accident or upcoming road work that would affect their commute or travel. Unfortunately, it backfires...every time the sign has an announcement, people slow down to a crawl just before they reach the sign (as if they have to study it), then move on. We could be cruising along at 65mph with no problems, then we hit the brakes and slow to about 20 just before the sign, then speed up and resume our normal speed.
-
It's better than dry snow. Those chunks of ice can hurt.
Not sure which is worse....that dry snow you speak of or when the wet snow is melting from the trees, acting like huge rain drops.
-
Wet snow. I got 3 inches of it last night and it likely won't be easily picked up by my testosterone-based snowblower, so I'm going to have to shovel a 300 sq ft driveway tonight.....if the 35-degree weather doesn't melt it.
But hey...I'm a third liner. :thumbsup:
-
On a positive note, your heart and colon are happier.
True....though either sandwich would have cleaned out the colon effectively.
:sick:

Complaint #1: We have a new guy where I work. Smart guy, knows his stuff, willing to learn, and pretty much has a lot of good qualities about him, except....
He'll walk back to his desk while I'm in the middle of a conversation with another co-worker and he starts asking about said conversation, which usually has nothing to do with him, so we need to re-hash it and start from the beginning. Again, nice guy, but does he need to know about every single thing I talk about with everyone else?
Complaint #2: I got a coupon for a buy-one-get-one-free new waffle sandwich at Dunkin Donuts, so the wife & I proceed there for breakfast this morning. She gets a ham, egg, & cheese, while I order a bacon, egg, & cheese. They throw them in the bag and we go our separate ways to work. Upon arriving at work, we both find out they're croissant sandwiches....not the waffle sandwich we ordered. :censored: Too late at that point to go back to DD. :censored:

So I'm heading home a couple weeks ago, driving up Niagara Falls Blvd during "rush hour" (in quotes for our out of state friends who fight real traffic). The light is green, but I cannot get all the way through the intersection due to stopped traffic just on the other side. So I stopped just short of the crosswalk in case the light turned red before the traffic in front of me cleared so I wouldn't be stuck like a jackass in the intersection blocking crossing traffic while they have the green.
This lady behind me in a behemoth SUV starts laying on the horn. She wanted me to pull forward into the intersection so she can turn right. She is gesturing at me frantically like I am ruining her day. I calmly pointed to the sign that was immediately to my right that conveniently said what I wanted to tell her "Do not block side street". So she flips me off. I guess I should have blocked everyone on the side street, so she wouldn't have to take the chance of having to wait through another light cycle.
Along these lines....
Coming home from work earlier this week, I'm at the off-ramp of I-87 (just north of Albany) waiting for the light to turn green. I'm about 4th or 5th in a long line of cars coming off the ramp. As soon as the light turns green, some yahoo behind me lays on the horn....we're talking milliseconds after the light changes. I'm still struggling to figure out why he (or any impatient idiot) was doing such a thing. Was he trying to alert the guy who is 6 cars in front of him that the light turned green and he should've moved quicker?
And another complaint....I'm a network engineer for my income. I work with server admins and developers all the time. Why do they need to incessantly argue with me about how MY network devices operate, when they clearly don't know how to spell TCP?
-
We have an ISP-type that convinced us they should take over all of our email handling. We're an organization of 9,000+ with a pretty large IT group that generally knows what it's doing, yet they completely underestimated our abilities (yes, I'm one of those IT people) and treat us like dogsh*t when it comes to the details. Not to mention, they sold us on their experience and how they do this with a lot of customers...but every question we have for them is usually responded to with "Uh, we'll have to research that and get back to you."
-
Complaint #1 - Phone books. First of all, does anyone use them anymore? They're a waste of paper these days. Second, we get one delivered every so often (every 6 months, I think) and when they delivered the latest one last week, it got buried in the snow in my driveway, so I never saw it. As I ran my snowblower through the driveway, I ran over it and it subsequently got stuck in the rotors - I had to finish my driveway with a shovel, then wait a day or so to wiggle it out. :censored:
Complaint #2 - Why does everyone I work with need to hold a conversation (that I'm not involved in) next to my desk...especially when I'm actually trying to work or on the phone? :censored:

I'm going to complain about people complaining.
As I've gotten older, I try to be more positive about things and stop complaining about everything that doesn't go my way. However, I continually hear complaints from co-workers and family members about the same thing over & over again. If it's out of your control, then suck it up and deal with it. If it's something you can do something about, then STFU and do something about it.
