Old Man Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Re: The cranky thread actually closer to 12, depending on how you count them. Maybe 16 if I'm lucky. long story, but bad teeth are kinda a family trait, (cue banjo music) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Re: The cranky thread First day at work today. I had no PC, and half a desk. That's pretty good. Here, when someone gets hired, I'm lucky if I have any advance notice at all. So I can set them up with webmail and intranet access in maybe an hour depending on fires, but it takes at least a week to get a new laptop through channels, and then it has to get configured.

Hermit Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Re: The cranky thread Last week, drier died. This week, water heater burst, spewing water into hallway, bathroom,and 1/5th of a bedroom that is almost impossible to get to. No dryer, no hot water. Suffice to say, I am bummed.

Recurring periodontal disease, no matter how much I brush & floss. Lost 5 teeth in the last 2 years, another 2 are dicey... [/quote'] Opposite problem. My teeth have always been perfectly straight, my gums are shockingly healthy (my dentist did a double-take, after having seen my tooth x-rays), but I get a cavity at the drop of a sugar granule. I'm up to brushing twice a day, flossing once, so we'll see how that works out. But I'm not holding out hope that, this time next year, I won't have another round of novocaine and drilling and the sore jaw. There was the problem of not having enough room in my mouth for my wisdom teeth to come in, and they tried to shove their way in sideways, but that was a relatively quick procedure, followed by a week of being unable to eat anything harder than oatmeal. That I've put behind me. But my bad enamel will plague me the rest of my days, until everything behind my canines is a realistic-looking crown. Add to this the fact that I have extra nerves in my mouth (most people have one to three nerves per tooth; I have two to five) and that I'm resistant to novocaine, and the dentist is NOT my favorite person.

tkdguy Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Re: The cranky thread My throat has been really sore since early this morning. Sounds like a bad cold coming on. A few months ago, I lost one of my cousins to cancer. Last night I learned her father just died from cancer as well. He didn't linger on like she did, though.

Old Man Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Re: The cranky thread I was really looking forward to going to bed early tonight, for once. But one of the zillions of messages in my email before I went to bed was an overtemperature notice from one of the boxes in the data center. How over? I wondered. Well, the ambient temperature in there was 120 degrees. Uh oh. So I log in and start shutting down the non-critical boxes, hoping to keep the place from overheating. But as I shut down the last of them, first the DNS server goes, and then everything else. Now I'm sitting here in the living room, way past when I was tired enough to go to bed, waiting for the A/C repairman to call me back. But judging from what my guy tells me is the error message on the A/C unit, it's not the kind of thing that's going to get fixed tonight.

Old Man Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Re: The cranky thread So it's the first working day after sunday's server room meltdown. My phone and email are blowing up with people demanding that I bring up their 'critical' machines, but of course, the a/c is still busted and if I bring all of it up, the server room will melt down again. Meanwhile, there's a run on demo gear, since word got around that we have 'lots' of demo gear available, when in fact we have less than half a dozen, and they're all booked until end of year. And I got people riding me because I'm not done with their powerpoint yet. I got news for you, folks, if your frickin' powerpoint can't wait, do it yourself.

SatinKitty Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Re: The cranky thread I wish the Do not call list was a bit faster kicking in than "sometime in the next 30 days". I am so sick of the phone ringing and ringing with junk calls. I have caller ID so I never answer them, but the constant ringing is a real pain.
