Someone needs to hire me to test new systems.... I can make anything and everything fail.

I had carpet cleaners over: Tried to pay them via the web.
Webpage took ages to load.
Login took 5-10 minutes
Internet disconnected
Webpage claimed login was incorrect
I logged in again
It told me I had to call the bank to make the transfer
I called the bank. Got disconnected

Once that was sorted I tried calling a job agency that had called me during all of that
Tried three times, got "call canceled".

Now I'm just waiting for my laptop to grow legs and run away

If internet is through your phone service (thus, all of these issues are connected by a common pipeline) I'd say the whole problem is caused by connection trouble. If you have a landline it might be water in the line. If you have a smartphone it might be a tower nearby got some storm damage.

yeah, internet and phone are via the same company. Internet vi a USB wish ultimately makes it wireless (= bleh)

Oh well, it only has to last throughout the weekend and I have to find a new internet provider to fight :p

Found a Christmas tree for all you fellow CC'ers who love to read!!

I think this would be pretty cool with a Bible on top as the "star".

My texts would make more sense and be less offensive if there was a sarcasm font.

You blaspheming heretic. Combining books with pagan Christmas trees. I bet some of those books aren't even Christian books... :p

Soooooo..... Black Friday shopping wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.... or how bad everyone loves to make it sound like... It was quite nice, although the weather could have been better... but I'm not gonna let that little detail stop me. I found a lot of awesome deals... and even got new decorations for my tree.. I am pretty much set for Christmas this year. :)

I forgot to ask to go out and look at jobs today. =\


There is always tomorrow.

No wait, I go to my grandpa's house tomorrow....

though that doesn't mean I can't go before we visit...

It doesn't help I'm looking for a job at the worst time of the year.

Some are still hiring for their seasonal jobs. I had a seasonal job at Kohls once that turned into a regular job after the Christmas season.
And why does someone need to take you? It's 2015. You could begin your hunting online.

I accidentally went black friday shopping. I wanted to get a mic accessory from this big electronics store about 20 minutes away and halfway there I realized it was black friday! :eek: It was too late to turn back. There was a line of cars trying to get into the parking lot, but once I was there everything went smoothly. :)

The thing I bought didn't fit my mic though so I have to return it. :( But I did end up buying a present for my little niece that I think she will love. :D Do girls like drones?? :rolleyes:

**is pretty sure Zero bought the drone so that he can play with it when his niece decides she doesn't like it so much :eek:
