Ditto! RT @rversaw: @EA Are there any plans to make account management not suck? I get upset anytime I have to use an EA Id right now.
Just did the hardest thing so far: Call Cox and drop our internet service to their special “Slow As Balls” level.
It’s probably important to mention that at that moment my desire for food was stronger than my desire to know WHY that made me hungry.
Hey, Companies! Online Application forms suck! Especially ones where Backspace doesn’t work in Chrome!
I get the feeling some poor Dev is gonna be really embarrassed. RT @woot: $123.00 : IWant3 Sale : SOLD OUT http://localhost/Woot
Okay, cover letters can suck it. Gotta have them, but I know how much attention gets paid to them. Dear MR/MS/MRS HR PERSON: … (Ellipsis)
Finished signing up for unemployment benefits. Doesn’t mean a lot, but I expected the process to be a lot worse. Online forms FTW.
Getting tired of grounding myself before I touch the keyboard every single time I shuffle my feet. Yay static!
Still extremely OCD about those auto-correct tags that hang around when Word fixes my stupid mistakes. Delete word. Retype properly.
I was running Real Life at about 15 fps yesterday. Today ain’t much better — maybe getting 18?
Go figure — propane ran out halfway through. =(
It’s too nice out. Gotta grill tonight.
Guys! Guys! This radio ad just let me in on a secret. They said, “People who own homes will build equity.” I know! I was like, “Whoa!”
#CookingTip Put REAL cheese on any crummy frozen pizza to help convince yourself that you’re eating something worthwhile.
I had no idea! Cool! RT @rockingjude: Important entities to follow……… @NationalDebt, @HouseFloor, @SenateFloor and @USSupremeCourt
Note to self: Gotta get out to Cabela’s or something and get a cleaning kit for the Glock. We send 175-ish rounds through it on Sunday.
Had to reboot in order to get TweetDeck to start up in #Win7. Might be an AIR thing? Guess I’ll keep watching it.
Upgrade Creep: Nerdy equivalent of penis envy in the workplace that creates a steady stream of “MOAR RAMz” after you upgrade one effin’ box.
Today’s lunch: Chicken patty from last night, reheated in the microwave, with potato chips on top to make it feel crisp again.
Quick thanks to the guy who made this Page Title column a blob, forcing me to sort through it in Excel. You rock, dude!
I like this Inauguration show. How many episodes are left this season?
Heard a Republican talking about which face the R’s should put on for the NEXT election this morning. Politicians: We’re tired of “faces”.
Also, no matter which side you’re on, today’s totally remarkable as it’s a peaceful transfer of a nation’s power. Keep that in mind! =)
My dog likes to make me let her outside; then she takes three steps from the door, turns around and expects to be let right back in.
http://twitpic.com/14t3x - @mericlese That is all.
I am foregoing the usual afternoon pretzels for popcorn, as today is National Popcorn Day. http://bit.ly/uzbC QUICK GET SOME
#BSG Not completely sure how to respond to that episode.
Whoa, @BrentSpiner’s on Twitter too now! Welcome, sir! I think you’re gonna like it here.
#confession I’m OCD about AutoCorrect in MS Word: It leaves that AutoCorrect Tag by the word, so I have to delete it and retype correctly.
I think Twitter may have changed my thought process from “two page essay” to “blurb”. I can’t handle paragraphs anymore.
Woot
Err. @jhofker Woot!
http://twitpic.com/12s2m - @tysonj @TweetDeck Not crazy, but it’s only when said tweet is in a particular position within the TweetDeck …
Is it just me or is the letter “S” (the capitalized one) positioned higher than everything else in the latest version of @TweetDeck?
I really need to get a handle on this thing where I can’t wake up until 8:30… (Ellipsis)
I hereby proclaim today J-pop day. Starting with Namie Amuro, but I expect we’ll hit some Rie Fu and Snowkel before the day ends.
Whoa, there was some kinda @tysonj storm tonight! 367 tweets all at once!
Seems like my router (WRT54G V6) is starting to go. Should I look at another Linksys (GL this time for flashing)? What’s good nowadays?
Food Police to visit UK homes? No fines…. yet. They must be swimming in tax money across the pond. http://bit.ly/uCEq
If you’re running #Win7, you should know this stuff. RT @jhofker: *Great* list of Win7 shortcuts: http://tinyurl.com/7ddyqc
#confession I tend to overcook food in the microwave because I have a fear of cold centers ruining my lunch.
Misleading, but cool! RT @ScottMonty: See our “Bio Babes” (as they call themselves) make soy foam for Ford vehicles here http://bit.ly/mcme
Now taking applications: Blog about an island resort for yer job! http://bit.ly/lEd0
The best part about having a puppy is how excited they are to see you when you get home. SO HAPPY
#Win7 Installed Mesh first thing, then Windows told me I installed a program that prevented me from having transparencies on? =(
#Win7 Uninstalled Mesh and got the transparencies back. What a bummer! I need my Mesh, but love the shiny. D=
http://twitpic.com/127be - @mericlese It was kinda like this.
Whoa! #Win7 had drivers for my laptops Wifi! Didn’t have to find some drivers to get it kickstarted. Fast install too! I’m slightly aroused?
Can’t figure out a better way to try Windows 7 than to put it on my most important non-essential resource: Chattop.
862 Tweets since I last checked, btw. ‘fraid I won’t be reading some of these. 64 from people I insist on reading. That’s manageable.
