LGR4GM Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well at the end of April I will no matter what happens move out of Buffalo... for good. Either it will be home, NJ, or where I get a job but my tenure in the "All America" city has reached its inevitable end... I have to say 365 days ago I thought my life would be a lot different right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Pissed. Decided to check my bank statement online this morning and saw a charge from 3/17 for $40 that I didn't recognize, with a URL listed. I visited the website and sent in an e-mail through their "Contact Us" link, explaining to them that I had no idea what their site was or what the charge was for. They responded by telling me they've "cancelled my subscription" but cannot refund the $40, and went on to inform me that the charge was for membership to an adult entertainment website. Clearly, somebody has gotten ahold of my credit card information. Here's the twist-- as if that wasn't bad enough, the "Support Specialist" gave me the username and password used to register for the website (gee, thanks)... and whoever signed up used a username and password that I use on a couple other websites. So it seems that this goes much deeper than just having my credit card information... they could potentially have access to my entire life. E-Mail, YouTube, my online bank account, other message boards, who knows what. My guess would be they've used some kind of key logger on me... in which case I'm probably ######. Currently running virus/malware/spyware scanners on the MacBook but nothing suspicious has come up so far. I have no idea how else they could have gotten that information, but trying to fix this all today is going to be a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Dance Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm interested in a different job that would be literally around the corner from my office (same floor, same building). I submitted all of the paperwork, but I wanted to discuss this informally with the head of that department who I run into all the time on the elevators. Since I decided to put in for the job, I have not run into this person once in the last three weeks. The new position would be sweet - a grade level higher in pay, working for the PBC rather than grants, doing pretty much what I am doing now except in person instead of over the phone. The other people in the department (and the director as well) are all really very nice people and would be great to work with. If this doesn't come through, I need to get me some of those Mega Millions tickets - half a billion dollars! Woof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEnnis the Menace Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I hate going to the gym somedays. Not because of the waking up at 4/430 AM and whatnot, and not because of the soreness later. No, I actually like both of those. No, instead, I hate the part that comes after the workout: the awkward locker room moments. Take today for example. I walk in there to take a shower so I can get ready to come in to work. There are 4 other men in the entire gym. One of the guys came into the locker room about 30 seconds after me. He had all of his stuff in a bag that he had locked (like a little luggage lock you see at airports). This guy decided he needed a locker while he goes to shower. There are 100 lockers in the room, all of them open, minus the other 3 guys that had lockers...so 97...ok fine. He HAD to pick the locker DIRECTLY next to mine, and then completely strip. Ok fine, I get it, some guys are comfortable enough that they can walk arounda locker room naked. Great for you. What i don't get, is why he felt compelled to turn to me, and start talking to me. Just a casual conversation. I have boundaries. Being that close to me, naked, and trying to be casual...and reaching out to pat me on the shoulder? WOAH MAN! not cool! There are things you can't unsee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly comparable, but I always wonder why, with an entire parking lot full of empty spaces, people find it necessary to park right next to my truck. Close enough so I can only open the door halfway. But at least they're not naked :unsure: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I hope this isn't too serious, but here goes: my complaint is that good people can be struck out of the blue by a life-altering tragedy. My family is friends with another family in our neighborhood. Their kids attend the same school as our kids, and one of their sons is close friends with my son. We're not super-close with this family, but we've known them for 7-8 years, seen them socially a few times now and then (including hanging out and watching a Sabres-Bruins playoff game a couple of years ago) and regard them as friends. The school is on spring break now, so many families naturally take vacations. This family went to a Caribbean island. Last Sunday (i.e. 4 days ago), the family was at the beach and the father was swimming with one of the boys (they have 4 sons in their family). A motorboat comes flying into the area where they are swimming, hits the father, chews him up in the propeller, and just like that, the father is killed -- right there in front of his horrified family. I wasn't really close with him, but I considered him a friend and respected him. He was a really good guy. Solid as a f----- rock. The kind of guy who would come and get you in the middle of the night if your car broke down. He was 44 and a totally devoted father -- he coached his kids' teams, etc. And they had a really nice family. Now his 4 sons (ages 14, 12, 10 and 8) have to grow up without a father because of some reckless idiot with a motorboat. It's heartbreaking.

There's always the two or three seventy-year-old naked dudes who find it necessary to have a conversation in the locker room corridor, too, meaning that they are in the way of everyone entering, exiting, or trying to get to/from the shower.

My brain says i should feel the right amount of empathy, but my heart tells me that I am not capable of conceiving the depth of this kind of tragedy. My boys are 7 months and 4 years. I have no ability to fathom what life would be like we lost our wife/mother. Tragic. I'm sure they will need the community more than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
