Complaint Thursdays

I had access to a presale on tuesday for a concert at a pretty small venue out here. I completely forgot until it was too late. Well they started another limited presale today and I was logged in the second it opened up. I had a pair of seats ready to go, but then my boss walked in to talk over all the projects we're currently working on. Apparently it timed out while she was talking because when I entered my credit card information, nothing happened.

 

I did manage to luck my way into a single seat, but it's way in the back and now my friend that wanted to go is screwed over. He had gotten me a front row seat for an Alice in Chains concert this summer, so I owed him. I guess I could sell him my single seat, but either way, I'm pissed.

today being 31 march, i was unprepared for the ramp-up of practical jokes in anticipation of april fools day, of course being tomorrow. my brother and i swapped my 80GB ipod for his 16GB touch. he got to work, tested it, and immediately started firing texts about how it doesn't work, the video looks scrambled, so i recommended a battery of troubleshooting possibilities. he claimed he tried all of them and that his wife was gonna be pissed as all hell because it was HER 16GB touch that he traded (auspiciously for her). he even went so far as to claim marital issues and that this was suppsoed to smooth things over ... all of which i fell for hook line and sinker. THEN he slams me with the final line about wanting to take enough pills so he can "sleep and not wake up until tomorrow, when it actually IS april fools day ..."

 

to summarize, early april fools day jokes suck.

Don't be so down in a hole about it.

On Tuesday the Rush concert in Greensboro was moved from Friday to Saturday night due to "unforeseen circumstances". Now I can't make it and had to get my 8th row floor ticket refunded. :censored:

assuming that this is for the time machine tour, i don't know what your circumstances are of course, but i would do everything legally possible to get out of whatever it is you have. fake a cold. claim a family death on your significant other's side and need to "be there for moral support." if you don't have one, fake it. ;)

 

i'm really not trying to rub salt in the wound if you can't go, but this show is one of their best ever. geddy hasn't sounded this good in years. AND they play 'carvan' and 'bu2b'. seriously ... fake a hospital visit or something.

Nice thing is, though, Duke can't go out and buy a contender every year.

Which point represents Duke?

I changed my mind.

 

I hate data analysis.

Yes, it's the second date of the second leg of the Time Machine tour. I'm pretty bummed, I've seen hundreds of rock concerts over the years and Rush easily puts on the best show out of the dozens of bands I've seen live. I have family and friends coming to town this weekend and they had already delayed their arrival from Friday night because I was going to be at the concert. I wouldn't be a good host if I left them all to my wife. Rush are coming to Greenville, SC in June, and I have already targeted that show now as my opportunity to fake an illness cold and go. :thumbsup:

I'm going to have to play stupid and ask this one. How could it be any other tour? Does any band ever get spread out over two different tours at the same time?

The family left for spring break, but I've got things I can't leave at work right now so I am a bachelor for the next 10 days. With no kids at home, I went for an extra, extra long work out. Now I am too tired to cook, and eating blueberries and almonds for dinner.

You are complaining about being a bachelor for 10 days?

I will be working long hours for most of it, so yes. Would rather be in Fl with the family. Gorgeous weather there right now. It would be nice to have to work to keep the beer cold for a change.
