That's bounds...as in 'boundaries'.

Part of the problem in the US is that too many of us think everything belongs to us.

GODDAMMIT ITUNES WTF


If someone knows how I can purchase a CD that's available only through the US itunes store (I'm on the Aussie store), please let me know.

I tried entering my US credit card and switching back to the US store, but it said "Fuck you, buddeh, that's not a real CSC code."

Unless someone in the US buys it for you that's not possible (and not supposed to be, I guess).

Fuck you, Comcast, for promising something you couldn't fucking do. And an extra-special fuck you goes out to the one technician who swore up and down that his supervisor could accomplish it with a drilling technique that they actually would never do in a gazillion years due to the liability issue.

Fuck you, builder of my house, for first not putting a phone line in the fucking office (it says right in the goddamned plans that it's a "Study/Office"! Who the FUCK doesn't put a phone line in a fucking office? For motherfuck's sake, they put a cable line through the wall but no simple goddamned phone line) -- and then designing the house with upper- and lower-floor walls that don't match up, so it's impossible to add such a line later. The only wall that matches up contains supporting beams that I can't drill through because I'm not entirely insane. (Note the "entirely" qualifier there and shut up.)

So, since there's a cable line, I have Intarweb in the office and thus can go VOIP (or not exactly VOIP but it's a phone line that comes out of the modem and I don't give a shit what you really call it so stop hounding me damn you) to get phone in there. However, without a phone line I can't backfeed the VOIP to the phone jacks throughout the house, so I'd have to buy cordless satellites for every room I want a goddamned phone in. I could put the modem upstairs, but that would mean using wireless for Intarweb in the office, which would suck.

My wife is currently putting the screws to them to give us a second modem for free, so we can put it upstairs and backfeed the phone signal from there while still having a phone in the office. I still want to beat the living shit out of our builder, but it looks like bullying Comcast into creating a Rube Goldberg solution will have to suffice. It's not nearly so satisfying as violence, dammit.

And why are we stuck with Comcast? Because the only other provider in our area is worse. That's a rant for another post.

I feel ya. :hug:

Comcast told me that I would have to start a landline account with them before they could set us up with high speed internet. So we obliged because we wanted internet more than the phone. 6 months later I found out that we didn't have to get a phone at all.

Assholes.

I had an aunt (since deceased) who was born in Lordsburg, New Mexico. After the death of her husband she had to transact some sort of business with the local Social Security office. The idiot clerk insisted that she present proof of citizenship or legal residency, since she was foreign born. It took multiple attempt to convince said clerk that New Mexico was part of the United States. Note, this transanction took place in Phoenix, Arizona.

That's really funny when you consider Arizona is the 48th state, New Mexico, the 47th state, beat it to statehood by over a month.

FUCK! I fucking fucked up fucking dinner.

I minced some garlic and sauteed it in olive oil. Poured in some cream; let it boil. Add paprika (liv told me to last month); notice the sauce isn't as thick as I like. Add 1/2 t of flour.

Add some peas, based on Caligulette's suggestion on FB.


NO FLAVOR. And the peas suck - they're all... wrong.

I thought maybe there was some new sexual relations social media site or something, you know, like fuckbook or Twatter.

You guys actually might want to look at the fucking Buzz thing if you have Gmail.

It automatically signed me up after I told it not to, then it automatically sent out "follow" requests to about twenty different people in both Buzz and in Reader, and auto-created a public list of the random people I've emailed recently who had Google profiles. I already had my privacy settings set to "leave me alone" in Reader, but if I hadn't, I assume it would have just started sharing my RSS feeds with everyone in that list.

And if you just select "Turn off Buzz" at the bottom of the page, it doesn't actually turn it off. It just hides it from you. You have to go in, manually block everyone who is following you, delete your Google Profile if you have one, set your privacy settings in Reader, etc., THEN turn it off. I don't know how or to what extent it might be tying in your Picasa account or your calendar or whatever if you use any other Google services, and I don't know how to undo one of your automatic follow requests.

So if you are using Gmail and you haven't clicked on that little Buzz icon yet, you might want to. They have changed it a few times in the week or so it's been active so it may have changed again since yesterday.

Or, you know, don't. Go ahead and share your newsfeeds and personal photos and list of your recent contacts with people you work with, relatives you hate, and random shitbags from Craigslist or whatever.

I went to Gmail and couldn't find it - but that's because my default setting is for 'basic HTML.' Although my connection isn't slow, all the bells and whistles still take time to load and launch, bah.

Anyway, switching to the other view, it hadn't added any followers but I turned it off nonetheless. All I use Gmail for is email.

Fucking assist manager is being a real dick. We don't get paid commission, but every month we get spiffs that allow us to make a dollar or so for every item sold. He has this fucking idea that the whole thing is about him dominating everyone else and that he is always going to be the fucking best at it. So much so that in the past the bastard has 'stolen customers' from me and from other employees. Yesterday he fucking tried to pull that shit off again and kept fucking talking over me and shit. I pulled him aside and was like "Look, I have worked here for HOW long? I don't need your help and you are not taking my spiff." and he was trying to make excuses like "I'm allowed to help! And I was going to give you the spiff in the end!"

Yeah, bull-shit mother fucker.

But this time it's different. Yesterday he thought he only had 9 more to go to catch up to me, but since I have sold 17 more, bumping me up to 45 extra dollars made next paycheck! FUCK YEAH Take that you big jock. Just because I'm a girl and I don't have a degree doesn't mean I'm not a fucking kick ass worker.

Fuck salt.
