shrader Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 ok, why have a new thread every Thursday? Why not open and close one thread? Sometimes, mega threads can be entertaining for new people and the posts/thread views encourage people to participate. So wait, you run the place and you're wondering why something happens here? That seems like something worthy of complaining about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 So wait, you run the place and you're wondering why something happens here? That seems like something worthy of complaining about. Although complaint Thursday was originally my idea (or was it Tuesday?), LB picked up the ball and ran with it here... I'm pretty sure tehre is something here that we can use to open and close posts by date/time. i'll have to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I thought the ending was perfect. Indeed. The key moment involved a product made in my neck of the woods! crusho, I know what you mean. But a happily ever after ending wouldn't have been right. All old Walt was trying to do was give the kids a chance. But, yeah, I kind of think it would be tough to get a conviction on all of those thugs -- witnesses would have to testify, you'd have the self-defense theory etc. And wouldn't another gang just move in to fill the void? Loved the movie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McJeff215 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 One: The ongoing MJ saturation. There's nothing more important out there to cover? Iraq? Afghanistan? Economics? Government spending? Nope. Here, have more Jackson! Two: My cheap ass employer and my Dilbert-esque days. I write software all day on a 17" monitor that doesn't work right all of the time. I asked for a bigger one and - quite literally - got chuckled at and then denied because of budgetary reasons. Along the way, they hinted that I just wanted nicer techie toys. During all of this, a big 30" flat panel shows up on the desk of one of the graphics girls that works three days a week at the office. My next logical question was, "well I guess I can start working from the home office too, my equipment is better there." Nope. I need to be here during "core hours" and telecommuting "doesn't work for us." Graphics girl is in my same damn 8 person group. Same manager. Seriously? Seriously? Scott Adams couldn't make crap like this up. Can't help but laugh at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't complain immediately at midnight, I'll have yet another thing to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I guess it depends on whether or not it's one of those people who thinks that you have to yell into a cell phone if you want to be heard. Exactly, there is a huge difference betwen normal conversation face to face and the idiot that can't grasp the concept that their voice is amplified into the ear of the person they are speaking with on the phone. Annoying as hell. :censored: Another annoying cell phone habit is the people that wear the bluetooth ear roach thingies at ALL TIMES. We had a girl show up for an interview with one of those in her ear. She wore it for the entire interview. Are you freaking kidding me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Tooth=Loser (I'm on a big equals sign kick today) I guess I can forgive people using them in their vehicles but if you walk around with one, you need to re-evaluate your life choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Back to back conference calls to start the day. Luckily I have nothing to say on this 2nd one so I can instead make a couple posts.

You were leaving the threatre as I was pulling my money out and you loudly exclaimed to your buddy, "I can't belive Bruce Willis was dead the entire time!"

We had a girl show up for an interview with one of those in her ear. She wore it for the entire interview. Are you freaking kidding me? What industry? If it was any type of "businessy" interview, she probably thought it made her look sophisticated and ready to go get 'em. in reality, it just make her look like she feels overly important. Take it out. You're not that important. No one needs to get ahold of you that bad. Cell phone etiquette needs to get better. Period. Ever miss what a guy said on an elevator, say "excuse me?", and then realize he's talking into a Bluetooth piece? My personal favorite is the dude that scowls at you in the hallway because you're being too loud for his phone conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. A handful of people I work with walk around with a blue tooth or some hands-free thing attached to their ear....like they're THAT important. That kick was over a year or so ago.
