Having both (mirrored) disks in your home server die, within days of each other, when you have no funds to replace them, and the only spares are smaller, slow laptop drives.....
At least they work well enough to get the data off it would seem.....

Knowing that the morons from westboro church are gonna be in my town soon, and NOT having a nuclear warhead to protest them with.Well, I'll be in town, at least. Fighting a@*@*%@s with a@*@*%@s, I always say. I'm like a claymore mine: FRONT TOWARDS ENEMY.

You know what? I really love how my very genetics are keeping me from receiving financial aid from universities. I was looking through the scholarships accepted by Syracuse University this morning, and I am ineligible for about 90% of them based simply on the fact that I'm "white, non-Italian, non-Hispanic." White people can need financial aid too.

I'm right there with you, man. Exact same problem.

Are these private or government scholarships? It seems wrong to me for the government to predicate financial aid on race.

When you do replace them, use different brands of disk. When you build a RAID with disks all the same, all bought on one purchase order, you have a good chance of getting disks that were near each other on the production line and are therefore likely to have correlated MTBF, due to environmental conditions, hungover Monday workers, slacking Friday workers, etc.
Getting up for work and finding your window is down, and it is raining and no one knows why it is down and wont go up.
Then having a flat.
Then being out of gas.
However I did (barely) make it to work on time.
Ouch! sorry to hear that, CJ.

Both. And yes, it is wrong, but that doesn't stop them from doing it.
Another problem is that, since I still technically live with my parents, my financial aid is based on their income, even though I usually don't see a dime. I'm probably going to have to ask to borrow money from my dad again. He's very cool about lending people money, but I really hate owing people.
Well, due to my inability to do anything with any semblance of tact, I've just become the most recent recipient of the "I'm A f##&ing Moron" award.
~shrugs~ Oh, they will get over it. Heaven's knows I have been there many a time.
Things that suck? I had a nice customer base for the pool service i do. Then I had to go to Indiana for two weeks and the person who covered me is now pretty much doing them. Except he isn't but I haven't been able to get the owners to understand that.
This week may be very hard....

I'm pretty sure I did. Certainly serial #s are *very* far apart....
Ahh well, they were getting a bit tight, I shall invest in new ones soon...

Dislocated my right, little toe on Weds morning, kicked a banister in passing, and the toe stuck out at 45 degrees. Yuk.
On second thoughts, maybe I should put this in the Good Things thread, since even though it hurt like a b@%$&, I got through check-in, triage, X-ray, got it popped back in, taped up, and was in and out of our inefficient, evil, Communist, anti-Christian, tax-guzzling, hospital in the time it would have taken you Tea-Partying Sons of George Washington to still be arguing with the desk clerk over your insurance provider.
LOL

I don't care what anyone says; that's funny right there. :P

Dating mildly sucks garbage. yep ;it does; sheesh you meet a girl think things are going well; then you get the; " your beautiful; you have an awesome body; a wonderful giving heart; your everything I ever wanted; but I just dont feel any chemistry; I am sorry." speach; that ends we can only be friends. That really sucks. sheesh this chemistry thing; who thinks it is the right deal and who thinks it is all bunk; I cant decide; could use some feedback. Well on to the next one, there has to be another great woman out there that I will have some chemistry with...I hope.
dont hold anything back Freehold; dont keep that pent up <hands him a very large hammer and a stiff shot of Cyclon'>
<cyclon is rum;tequila; lime and very very good>
Looking for a job sucks.
Having no real openings yet sucks even more.

Some people are just not aware enough to find what they are looking for even if it hits them in the face. Some people only think they find what they are looking for when they feel they can make a person be what they want them to be. Your better off with the next fish.

It's her way of saying you're way too nice. It's better that you find someone else.
ooh; this really frosts my buns; I too just got a flying rock that chipped my window and not have a 6" crack; argh.
A chunk of cement falling off a cement truck smashing into your windshield sucks. Here's hoping the big chip doesn't spider too much.
yeah; that job thing sucks; if the company I work for doesnt pull its collective head out of it big behind; none of us who work here will be here in six months; just way to many mistakes by way to many people; cant stay in business doing that sort of thing.

Agreed - dating is crap. You might be a bit too earnest, though. Look a bit less interested and you will find that it makes them more interested. Don't hang your hopes on a single person since (on balance) it probably won't work out with that individual, which also helps insulate you from upset. But in the end, be who you are and someone will come along who appreciates you. If you are everything she wants, but she doesn't actually want it, then who's the mug, you or her?
And hey, she liked your body. I've just got my ready wit. Man, I'm lucky I managed to get married.
Today is my birthday.
Today is my birthday.That should not suck.
+1. And I hope you have a happy birthday, Paul, even if that seems unlikely.
I hope you HAD a nice birthday since we were all blind and did not notice till the next day. :/+1. And I hope you have a happy birthday, Paul, even if that seems unlikely.Today is my birthday.That should not suck.
Woops. Yeah. What he said. Sorry about that. :(

I enjoy studying these things enough to make it my life's work, and yet I don't think I will ever understand how someone can find someone they are in a relationship with to be TOO NICE, unless they truly feel they don't deserve such treatment, which is not your fault. In that particular case you should find someone else, as that person may have issues you dont' want to deal with.

Being 37 years old, employed, married, with two kids living a relatively sane middle-class existence and yet still having those occasional experiences that bear an uncanny resemblance to those days of being the fat kid picked last in gym class.
Grrr.
The realization that high school never really ends, and now you can kick damn near everybody's ass with ease, but you're not allowed to any more even though you got yours back then hardcore.
