Guest Skaramine Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Well, it IS! But then, I'm used to chaos. Or, should I say, Chaos? At least you're not with Kaos... because, as a CONTROL agent, I'd have to arrest you. And knowing those secret gizmos they carry, I'd have to conduct a thorough strip search. With whipped cream.

tkdguy Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: The cranky thread I haven't been able to work out regularly in a while because of injuries to my arms and hands.

tkdguy Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Re: The cranky thread We just had a new database program installed today. Now I have to figure out what I'm doing all over again. I'll be doing that all morning so I can tach someone how to use it the very same afternoon. I have to get my ears checked. People have been complaining that I'm deaf. They could be right. One of my coworkers named Robin called. I kept hearing her name as "ramen." I have made an appointment on March 14. 3/14, as close as pi as we'll ever get on the calendar. I guess it's appropriate for a math teacher to have an appointment on that day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Gah. So I'm on the phone about something that I don't want to get into here, but part of the conversation "Can we verify your mailing address?" "blah blah street, Portland, Oregon" "Ah, capital of Oregon" "No, that's Salem" "Well, Portland is the capitol of Maine" "No, that's Augusta" "I am sure it is Portland, I used to live in Massachusetts" "It's Augusta" "I used to go to Portland all the time, I'm sure" Ok. I didn't want to be on the phone with this person and now I'm arguing with a geographically disabled person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Dang. That didn't last long. Actually got stuff done this week which was a nice feeling of accomplishment, but am I closer to getting a job? Did I peak out in '98?

Seanaci Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: The cranky thread Grrr...don't wanna be at work today...the only thing that's keeping me here is that I get a paycheck in a few hours. I'd rather be at home...or driving to Kingman to surprise a particular man in my life. BLEH! So many things I'd rather be doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry; most Massholes are barely aware that Boston is the capital of their own state. Some think it's farther West. But that does explain the obnoxiousness. Don't suppose they lived on Cape Cod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: The cranky thread So now, not only do I not get the tub I originally wanted, I have to go back to the plumbing supply place to have the shower valves modified. This is why I hate home improvement projects. And why hasn't that woman emailed me the revised quote yet? How hard can it be to delete all the extraneous crap that I didn't want on there and resend? It should take four minutes, not an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Re: The cranky thread That would be fine, except I already told her the tight deadline I was under, and instead of giving me two different quotes depending on what material was being used, she just dumped it all onto one quote. So not only can I tell what the total estimate should be without hauling out the calculator, I also can't sign the estimate so they can get started.
