Supersizers Do... Dried Fruit
Category: food

We have been watching this British show called The Supersizers... . on Hulu about this British duo that lives and eats like British from different eras. It seems like they were constantly eating dried fruit which made me want it. Then tonight at my cousins house they had a whole dried fruit tray. It was so yummy.

Dried fruit is amazing. it's one of my favorite things, ever. I almost bought a dehydrator a few years ago just to make my own.

Bowling
Category: sports

I hate bowling but we went last night. Volkers is so ghetto. There was even some drama that involved 4 police having to show up and them turn the music off. Then there was this guy screaming at his girlfriend and punching stuff. I will probably never go back.

Lottery Win
Category: lottery

I got so excited when it was 2 sevens with a double $, but the double prize was on $1 for a grand total of $2 and I bought another $1 loser so I just broke even.

you didn't just break even. You also got the thrill of the scratch so that counts for something!

The Should Have Been Office
Category: work

This sign is on that door. Really, they couldn't find a better place for a cart storage room?

You should just take over the office and move the stuff somewhere else.

No one it was just a miscommunication when my group switched departments but its really frustrating.

Who did you piss off? :)
tinypliny - 01/09/14 02:27
Hang on. They moved you out of your office and converted it into a space for storing carts?!
Did one of the admins have a frostbite or a concussion or something?

Windows 8.1 Sucks Too
Category: windows
I cannot believe how crappy windows 8 is. It makes people's complaints about gnome 3 seem so silly. I spent hours getting it downloaded and setup to test our internal authentication system against it after there were reports of it not working. Turns out the internal domain was not set to be trusted. Argh, what a waste of my frickin life. I absolutely cannot stand the interface. It makes what I though was already a terrible OS and makes it so much worse. I think my parents wouldn't even be able to get to the desktop or find their files.

I had some issue registering my license key. The error was cryptic but told me I could find out what it really mean by running some command from the command line. Why not just tell me the real error message.

Then the code pops up another error window that tells you the error message and suggests I call microsoft support by phone. But the link takes you to a page suggesting you look at videos online or look through the forums instead of giving you any phone number.

This is the contact customer support by phone page text, seriously.

I hate it too. I hate how the interface flips between the old and new styles, I hate the lack of start button, I hate the edges that have random things happen and interrupt my workflow. I also hate that getting support "from friends and family" is a recommendation!! FU M$!
