Mr. Upstairs Neighbor came down and swept the snow off of everyone's cars again.
Dude, I think I love you!
(We'll see if I can even see this stinking post now. Our &^%$#@ firewall has started blocking EVERYONE'S Vox as pr0n...)
I've been sitting at my desk bawling for the last hour.
Dad doesn't seem any worse than usual, but it's hard to tell how much better he's getting. He doesn't say much. (You know how dads are...)
And mom is still making idiotic comments about the visiting therapists continuing to make appointments and how it's only "pounding it into his head that he's an invalid." Oh shut up already. He IS an invalid.
Anyway, the question is...should I get out in the 36 degree weather and walk to lunch and get a little head-clearing exercise? Or should I indulge my doldrums and go get a barbecue-bacon-cheese-greasebomb from Smashburger?
Yeah.
There's a guy on the local newspaper discussion forum who has been a bigger wanker than usual lately. This is the guy I've mentioned before who thinks it's his right to confront people who have handicapped parking placards that he doesn't think they deserve.
Well, this time there was a house fire, and a disabled man (one leg and wheelchair bound) lost his life. This assclown has posted several times about how it was inexcusable that he died, that it wouldn't have happened if they had working smoke alarms in every room, and he should have been able to pull himself to safety with his arms, and they should have done this or that or the other thing.
Every time any tragedy happens, he's there with an arrogant declaration of how HE wouldn't have been in that situation because HE would have done such and such different and what the hell ever.
So this is the reply I just drafted to him, but I don't have the nerve to click "Submit":
Stick a sock in it, [...]. You're a judgmental know-it-all, and everyone is tired of your sanctimonious pronouncements every time something goes bad. It's easy to be intelligent in hindsight, safely behind your computer monitor. Someday you may find yourself in a crisis, and then you can show us how easy it is to be perfect.
They cause too many problems.
Some clients' email systems convert everything to a non-proportional font, so a link that's too long for a line wraps to the next line and, therefore, doesn't work.
Some clients' IT departments block external websites, so again the links don't work.
Some people have spam filters for crap like this, so they don't get the emails in the first place.
Ugh! I'm so sick of these things! I thought I was finished with the project when they finally went out yesterday, but people are still having problems.
Yeah, probably.
So I'll just drive myself somewhere.
*sigh*
