You mean one of the vendors at the Con misused your info? Not cool! :mad: Please report this to the convention staff, if enough people report mis-usage of their credit info. The convention staff should ban them from the convention, and report them to the police. Crap like this is bad for convention business; and would make people leery of returning… Geeks Unite!
I hope you changed your account so they can’t try again later. Good luck.
Already addressed on the bank side of things (or at least as far as it can be until I get my new card), but I hadn’t thought about reporting it to the con staff. Just did that.
just gotta purge this.
WTF jerk who used my rig this weekend and left it parked on the side of the building at the pump station taking up TWO spaces, thereby preventing people in the morning rush from fueling and blaming ME!! Oh, and an extra special thanks for causing me to run all over the West 40 looking for it, finally ending at Shop, who kindly ran me around the service bays helping me look for it, though they are also short-handed! Thanks Hector from shop for letting me use your 2-way to call it in, and hearing another disgruntled driver report seeing it at the aforementioned PUMP STATION!!!
Oh, and also, thank you, bitca monitor, who when I requested she show up on time, instead of her chronically LATE 10-15 minutes, takes it out on me by refusing to help with the 4 wheelchair students who board at the hospital. Mighty big of you! Oh, and then doesn’t help at the school unloading the 5 wheelchair students, either! WTF???!!!
whew.
all my love.

Some people just…you know…are assholes. Actually, quite a few people are assholes, they just hide it well.
Sorry Barb that you had a crappy day due to the uncaring stupidity of a couple of co-workers. May their karma be repaid in kind.
Love you! Keep smilin’. And remember, payback is a beeyotch. 
LOL! Yes, I’m staged at the hospital now, telling myself to maintain and take the high road. May have to talk to her boss. I chose to address her personally and avoid getting her in trouble, but it’s clear she lied to her boss yesterday, when we dropped at the school.
It’s on.
Nobody messes with our Barb! NOBODY!
Kick some ass sweetie!
Passing this on:
ATGreat had a mild heart attack this morning. He’s in the ICU right now. They’ve placed a stent.
He could use some happy thoughts. ツ
Okay another rant.
Has anyone noticed, in this day and age of ISP’s jacking up the price, crappy product, reducing you to a set amount of bandwidth, then charging you more for any extra…
That waaaaayyyy to many sites have automatic streaming of “commercials”, infomercials and their products (ie syfy showing TV bits).
Eventually if I don’t watch where I surf I could possibly be paying a bandwidth “penalty” to my provider!!
Cut the crap out you greedy bastiches!
If I want to watch it, I’ll click on it!
1 month check … Average (minus) … sort of minus … god I hate Cooper, whoever he is.

P.S. Finnegan, next year it is Oddball’s 18 holes golf/beer challenge. (From Hell’s heart I spit at thee).
Ralph McQuarrie, the super-talented conceptual artist, whos work I’m pretty sure every single GWCer has seen at some point in their lives, has passed away.

Also just learned of it today during the Hangout.
Rest in Peace Ralph and thanks for such countless universes you helped to get from the mind of a creator to reality.
Holy crap! Any word on his progress now?
karma vibes
Sending good thoughts and prayers to ATGreat!
My rant- marriage and parenting are exhausting tonight.
No that’s not really a one night only kind of thing, but this night was especially trying. Heading to bed with a book and a cat, that’s all I can handle!
That Quote of his is pulled from the ‘Get well soon AT’ Thread from a week ago.
That grinding noise in my rear differential means my chances of making the meetup are getting smaller in the rearview mirror:( FUUUU!
A light hearted bitch and moan for this lovely Sunday: Today is my annual swear, scream and curse the government’s need to run an economy on my “patriotic duty” Sunday. (I.E. I’m doing my taxes.)
Long week last week, long week this week and things are less than harmonious on the home front. If I’m sleepy at the meetup it’s because I have to score three lacrosse game (M-W-TH) all about an hour away from me. Hoping I have energy for fun!
In Norway the government does personal taxes for you. At tax time you get a receipt from the government that you sign saying they did your taxes correct, or you add claims for things that they don’t have records of.
In Canada it’s a sort of secret, but the government does the same thing. I once mailed three years worth of tax information with a note saying there was no way I was going to competently be able to do it all. The government did all my taxes for those three years and mailed me a receipt to sign saying it was all correct. Then they mailed me three seperate cheques for all the credits I was entitled to. I found out about this when I worked with a guy who did contract work for Revenue Canada every year. He said that a whole bunch of people get hired at tax time to do peoples taxes, mostly old widows who have no idea what to do.
Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.
That’s according to one Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.. Before his career on the Supreme Court, he was an officer in the Union Army. I like to think he knew exactly what it was he was getting for his money.
Not that I’ve done my taxes. It’s not the paying so much as the paperwork. And that’s with tax preparation software.
Life is teh suck today 'cos I can’t be at the meetup.
That is all.
sniff
