Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
This is how I know I'm not an alcoholic... If all I had to drink was gin and rum, I would die of thirst.
Whiskey and/or Tequila on the other hand...
Oh... And Triple Stout.

I'm pretty sure that's true of alcoholics as well...

ARG. Dear city, could you please give more than 15 minutes notice before you shut off our water? Because I was planning to do laundry and actually clean this nasty apartment today.
On the other hand, now I have an excuse to eat lunch out.

I really can't help you if you've forgotten the password to your private key. No, really, there's nothing on my end I can do.

Gin tastes like I imagine paint thinner would taste if I were stupid enough to try drinking paint thinner. Oddly enough, I rather like the taste of gin. Still not going to try drinking paint thinner though. So there.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Thank you fucktard Cody Branch patrons for the lovely day you gave me when I subbed there yesterday. You were gracious enough to welcome me with a crazy man shouting at me to do my job because I wouldn't kick out the rational, soft-spoken patron who had the nerve to try to have a sane conversation with him. Then, when I went to lunch you were so concerned that I had too many things to carry that you stole the totebag I keep my work in that was a gift from my best friend.
Fuck you all, Cody patrons! I hope to the non-existent gods that I never get sent to sub there again.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Good fucking grief.
I just got dinged because "auditing" doesn't like it when my change tickets have the same text as the request tickets my customers open. I finally have most of my customers trained to specify exactly want they want me to do in their requests, so I just copy that into my changes, because IT IS THE BEST POSSIBLE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I WILL BE DOING. So, I guess my options are (a) tell my customers to give me poorer descriptions of what they want so I can sex them up for the change text, (b) create my changes with poorer descriptions of what I will be doing, or c) pretend I'm a fucking schoolkid plagiarizing a paper and just change a word here and there after I copy their request to my change.
I just did (c) and was, non-ironically, thanked for cooperating so quickly. I EVEN FUCKING TOLD THE GUY THAT WAS ALL I DID.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
GRRRRR.
I just got a call for this scam, and now I wish I'd kept them on the phone for a while. I was right in the middle of something so I just basically told him to fuck off and stop being a scammer shithead.
But now I've decided to BLAME COMCAST because the stupid call didn't send any call data at all. Not just no CID, but no call data. Plus, the asshole asked for me by name. Also their fault because they charge some horrible ridiculous amount of money to be unlisted.
So I think I'm just gonna go yell at Comcast. Ha ha!

Say, can I damage my phone if I fire off an airhorn into the receiver?
Just curious.

Let me assure you, auditors will check to see that you pretended to do something rather than actually verify that something was done. In this specific case "control+c" and "control+v" is not "doing something."

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Oh, so those guys called back again later with the same deal, and despite being better prepared for it, I still just ended up yelling at the guy again.
I'll try to make them stay on the line longer when they call tomorrow.

I know you're joking, but not cool, man. The girl on the other end of the line has no power. Oh, and most call centers use headsets.
Lisa, I am awash with anticipation.

I'm not talking about telemarketers, hon. I'm talking about willful scammers who steal money from the elderly. Not that I would do it anyway.

You're too hard on yourself, Sack. You're p. old, but I dunno if I'd exactly call you "elderly" for at least another year or two.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
Yeah, these guys are knowingly conducting an active, criminal scam. They're definitely responsible.
I assume that most scams conducted over landlines in the middle of the day in the middle of the week are at least aiming for the olds, even when they end up hitting young hepcats such as myself.
Also I am thinking this is probably related to my credit card getting frauded a couple months ago.

Re: New And Improved Rant Thread, now with 50% more profanity!
I fucking HATE John fucking Boehner. I really, really wish he would stop saying "the American people have spoken..." wrt the recent elections and what he has it in his head to do. He does not speak for me. I'm thinking of writing him a letter, but what does he fucking care what I fucking think? Nothing, that's what.
Am I am not fooled by his fucking "tears". Asshole.
