i think i'm going to tell her off tomorrow...i have a history of just letting shit like this go in the workplace because i don't want to deal with the tension of having to work with them all the time afterwards but this has gone too far

was considering writing an email to the owners telling them all the things she doesn't want them to know but i guess i'll wait and see what happens tomorrow first

Why can I not get PI on my blackberry? I realise I'm a bit slow when it comes to gadgetry, but this is ridiculous. 

Got to buy a few dehumidifiers for the house. The one in the basement is overworked just doing that small space. (Gotta love how we go from a place with 11% humidity to one with 90%.  ) After the move, the exorbitant move-in fees and getting a new car, we just don't have money for crap like this. But it is a lovely place. Can't complain about that.

What kind of Blackberry?
What version of the Blackberry OS is it running?
What error comes up when you try to open pi.froglord.com?
Have you tried the crappy mobile version that I've yet to have the time to upgrade?

hmm, what kind and OS? Not a clue. We got it last year from Verizon. Ric can't figure out how to work it so he gave it to me.
I don't get an error, I can't even get the website from a search. I wanted to bookmark it, but no luck. Will try with /index added to the url I typed in

update: Still no luck with either Bing or Google searches.

[Goose]

Yeah, this site doesn't show up in search engines yet. 

Open the browser, hit either the Blackberry button or the Option button (whichever one brings up a menu) and choose "Go To".  Enter "pi.froglord.com" there.

YAY!! Thank you Goose

Fuck you summer, and fuck you heat as well.


Its supposed to be 97F today. which is 36C. A couple weeks ago it was cooler mid 80's (like 30ishC) But not anymore... Ugh. At lest I work in a huge fridge...

[naut]

Is there anything more annoying than your boss telling you that she's going to work from home today, so you go into work thinking FUCK YEAH QUIET DAY and she shows up and shows up EARLY at that?

I've got a weird car issue. I'm seriously thinking about calling Car Talk if I can't figure what's going on.  It concerns my 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring and its intermittent problems with starting.

Every once in a while my engine won't turn over when I start the car. All the electric systems come on, but the engine won't make a sound. This has happened maybe five or six times in the eight months I've had the car. The first time was within a couple weeks of buying the car.

Here's the part I really don't understand. If I put the car in neutral and push it backwards a couple of feet, then the engine will start. Once it's started, there are no additional problems. I don't know if it's relevant, but I've only experienced this problem when the car has been sitting overnight.

I've taken the car to the dealer once already. They couldn't find any problems and confirmed that my battery was okay. It's in the shop again right now. However, the guys acknowledged that infrequency of the problem means there's almost no chance of replicating it in the shop.

So... anyone have any ideas what could be going wrong? Or should I just call up Click and Clack?

[Aaron]

Ugh. They are fucking with my days off. Also instead of closing. I work like noon or 1 pm till 8-9pm. I open. Latest I go in is at 7am... And they are fucking with my days off hard. I have two weeks of working 4 days then my two days off. Then the third week. I work eight days then get my days off YAY.  Fucks sake.

I know I've ranted about Crazy Fangirl before, well now she's not only stalking Trevor but also his son Ryan (the drummer in Grouplove).  Today, based on a very blurry photo and a similar first name, she announced to all her social networks that he was engaged.  What really happened was a guy with the same first name proposed to his girlfriend onstage at the Grouplove show last night in DC and they made mention of it; and then of course hours later she had to backpeddle but she made it seem like everybody came to that conclusion, not just her.  And then one of her followers asked, "Are you guys pranking us?"

NO YOU STUPID BITCH.    
And now, he's probably going to have hear about it for months.  I seriously wish a building would fall on Arlene at this point because SHE. JUST. WON'T. STOP. THE. STUPIDITY.

[luna]

looks like this year's vacation will involve a layover on the way there and back...boo

[luna]

You know what's fucking irritating? Making plans and rushing around all day to get shit done only to have the person you made plans with cancel at the last minute

That's a wild one. I'm not well-versed in new cars so my suggestion would be to go online to a car group board or call Car Talk. Asking gearheads is the best way to find out what's ailing your wee beastie.

[r00]

I agree with what dee said.  Find a gearhead/ fanboi Hyundai site.  I cant tell you how may easy fixes for the MINI I have come across on MINI enthusiast forums that saved me from hundreds of dollars at the dealership.

Chances are other people have had the exact same quirky issue and you can get the info you need.
