Putting the "cuss" in customer service
Ever get the feeling computers have taken over the world, and there's no one at the wheel? I've had a rash of outright wrong automatic notifications lately, followed by infuriatingly futile attempts to find a human to right them.

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that..."

I swear (oh, a cheeky but unintended pun) that you were talking about me when I read the word 'cuss' - when I try to call places and get robots it makes me want to split my office desk with a battle axe.

Back to the future

I'd like to ask them if they really mean, December 31, 3006. But I don't want to draw attention to the fact they haven't been charging me for the past year or so.

UPDATE:

I couldn't help myself. So now I have an open trouble ticket with them. Great! Just like old times.

UPDATE #2:

Just an update that all the files and accounts are moved over. Propagation has already begun for some domains here and others will happen over 24 hours.

Please let us know well before December 31, 2006 (not 3006) if you are missing files. After that date the old server will be gone.


THANK YOU!

The best things in life are free...
Or you can upgrade for only 99 cents/month.

The latest development from the brave new world of social networking: FakeYourSpace.com, a new site that promises to hook up the socially inept with model-beautiful friends to spruce up their pages on MySpace and Facebook.

You can add these fake hot friends to your friends list and they will leave you messages and comments on your comment wall.

"FakeYourSpace makes it easy for any regular person to make it seem like they have a model for a friend. It doesn't stop there however," the site says.

The models will even pose as your lover, leaving any kind of message you would like. Want to make your ex jealous? No problem. Want to become more popular? The models will flirt with you on your comment wall.

Greetings from San Quentin
Category: morality
I was just about to forward the mail that's collected for my ex-tenant when I noticed this was delivered to the wrong address. 620 Buchanan instead of 620 Grove.

I am so curious to see the photos inside! That would be wrong, right?

OPen it@!
hodown - 12/01/06 17:00
I second that. Prison mail, how can you pass that up?!?

Nuts

My Dad sent me this picture for the family calendar. Does it seem vaguely obscene to anyone else or is it just me?

AH, she was just glad to see you. It's a good candidate for photoshop fun.
iriesara - 12/01/06 11:18
That is really insane....not sure that's one for the family calendar, but, hey, if that's how y'all roll. I would use the word vulgar, actually.
twisted - 12/01/06 11:17
That would be my step-mother Jean, and some guys in Australia dressed in kangaroo suits. I wish you could really see the expression on the middle guy's face while he scratches his giant... oh my. I wonder if Dad got any action shots of them hopping?

I'll have to get the whole story at Christmas. Dad started sending pix yesterday and they're still coming through. He's on batch #22 right now. Maybe I'll do a 24 month calendar this year, haha.

actually, its kinda scaring me.

Who are the people and are those giant nut sacks?
