Well, the first leg of Armando World Tour may well be postponed thanks to Hurricane Earl. I have alerted my men in the radar installation to stay alert. Reports will follow.
First time posting in here for a while!
One of my baby trans got attacked on the street, it turns out she was “working” to keep a roof over her head after her parents threw her out, I’ve come back to Manchester to try and help her out, and the attackers really did a number on her.
I’m rage typing, so I’ve deleted a lot of writing… just keep in mind that it sucks out there, and to NEVER come to Manchester. you’ll get attacked as soon as getting looked at.
Frakking scum!
Aw crap. I can’t understand that kind of thing. Hope she recovers quickly.
What Pike said, TNM. I hope your friend recovers quickly and that the frakkers who beat her up meet with swift justice.
I am once again hating iTunes. For some reason, while updating it, it decided to stop being compatible with Quicktime (rather, Quicktime must have gotten corrupted). I’ve been trying to download an earlier version of both programs to fix this. After succeeding, it won’t read my iTunes library (with my life’s work in it, mind you), because it was created with a LATER version.
Frakkin’ cylons!
I work in a medium sized office building. Yesterday, one of our consultants was in the building for meetings and the like. This guy is really in love with his dog, so much that he brought his dog with him on the trip, since there was no one to look after the dog at home, and usually brings the dog with him to the office unless he can get someone to look after it where he is staying. It’s not usually a problem because it is a trained service dog, trained to work in hospitals, even though he does not need it. Very well behaved dog all around.
So anyway, yesterday our consultant is standing outside my cubicle talking with me and another employee. Out of nowhere, the dog pukes on the floor. :mad:
Fine, he cleans it up pretty well, so there is just a little bit on the carpet that needs to be cleaned for scrubbed or something. I try paging a couple people from maintenance. Nobody answers. I walk around, trying to find somebody to just clean up this little mess. Nobody around.
:mad:
Finally, I peak in one of the conference rooms and the entire maintenance staff is in some important looking meeting. Fine.
About half an hour later its starting to smell a little, and their meeting is over, I grab a couple of them and tell them it just needs a little cleaning, not a big deal. They aparently don’t think so, and tell me to get the clean up guy, and won’t do anything. Unfortunalty that guy is at lunch at the moment.
:mad:
After lunch I call up clean up guy, and get him to come over to my cubicle area. Dog puke I guess is one of those things that you can’t really make sound that bad no matter how hard you try. So he comes over, looks around, asks what the problem is. I point to the spot on the floor, saying it was basicaly cleaned up, just need to be mopped or cleaned or whatever.
Clean up guy: “WHY IS THERE A DOG IN THE BUILDING?!”
Me: …
Eventually he cleaned it up with a spray bottle and a paper towel, and it took about 12 seconds.
:mad:
That’s terrible! How’s she recovering?
She’s getting a new nose on the NHS, so that’s the best news.
Och, that hurts. Here’s to a quick recovery
It’ll be a while to be honest, she’s very shaken up and scared, and the police want to talk to her about what she’s been up to as well 
I really, really, REALLY need to move myself and my family out of this house.
Yeah, those poltergeist can be a real pain
Especially when they’re your mother-in-law!
She may very well be a poltergeist when all is said and done…
Uh, even worse! It’s perfectly legal to hire someone to “dispose” of a poltergeist. But if it’s living they call that “murder for hire” or something silly like that.
Actually, I can sympathize to a small degree. My wife left herself logged into her Facebook account when we were visiting her parents a little while ago. My mother-in-law has figured this out and has taken to snooping around. She’s being very upfront about do it and my wife doesn’t have anything scandalous on there, so the she hasn’t changed her password, at least on yet. My mother-in-law just retired, so she’s looking for a hobby. I guess treating her daughter like she’s still 12 is it. Thank the gods she’s on the other side of the country!
I left my glasses in Missouri
I blew a tire on the Ohio Turnpike on Saturday. My body still hurts from being hunched over cranking that frakking jack. A good samaritan did stop and help me (albeit after I was halfway done) The one amusing bit was afterward my sweetie says “I was scared for you! Turnpike = Serial Killers!” :eek:
Ugh, sympathies, that’s a lousy realization to make, after the fact.
But look on the bright side – it’s better than leaving your wallet in El Segundo.
I once got stranded in the Ohio Turnpike and was picked up by a good samaritan who, for a second, gave me the impression of being a possible serial killer. I figured, what the hell, it beats walking a mile to the next exit!
I am all by myself today at work. Everone else is either on vacation or sick/skived off. Aaargh!
LOL! Yeah, this guy was an older professional-looking guy (which probably should have set all my alarms blaring…) and he happened to be getting off at the exit I was near. Thankfully, I did have a spare and I know how to change a tire, cause my roadside assistance expired in May, and that’s just not in the budget.
