So, the server I was working on has a bug that prevents me from doing the *one* thing I was going to do today, I have to be online for work for a 6-8 pm meeting anyway, and my manager's out for the day. Tomorrow we start a major testing cycle and I'll be heads-down 8 hours a day or more.

So this afternoon?

Not a whole lotta workin' goin' on.

EDIT: But apparently a whole lotta shakin'!

I seem to be rubbing everyone the wrong way today. Either that or I am having a day where I fail to read people/situations properly. Frustrating.


The server prevented you from getting clothes on?

My new commute will be LESS THAN TEN MINUTES, entirely on residential streets. It's three miles from the new school.

Oh, and I discovered there's a Jamaican restaurant less than five miles away that makes curry goat and festival (corn fritters).

And it's 12.5 miles away from the Polish deli where they sell the good sausage and make paczki on weekends.

Things are looking up!

Any commute under 6 miles is better by bicycle.

Especially in hot weather.

(In Davis it was 4 miles in, and once the weather was over 105 degrees I absolutely refused to get in a car because they were just too stupid hot, and wouldn't have enough time to cool down during the drive.)

So, you expect a company that sells refurbished iPhones to be a bit shady, but seriously?

  • Saturday: I order the phone, not realizing that there are still different iPhone models for different networks (I thought they did away with that years ago), notice that my carrier is not supported a bit too late, and submit a cancellation request. I receive an automated email that customer service representatives aren't available until Monday.
  • Monday: I receive a shipment notification that the phone is on its way.
  • Tuesday: I receive an email from a customer service representative that asks me for the IEMI from the phone in order to assist me. Which, of course, would require me to open the phone, charge it up, and do all kinds of other warranty/return-violating processes. I send a response that I refuse, and shouldn't need an IEMI just to return a phone. I notify Amazon that I have an issue with one of their sellers.
    I get another robo-reply from the company.

  • So yeah, I'm going full nuclear on this one. If they can't handle an order cancellation and try to make me pay for the phone when I cancelled the order within 2 hours of ordering, I'll do my utmost to make Amazon de-list that seller.

    It's not hard, people. Customer service or doom.

    EDIT: And I'm not going to be unreasonable; if they say, "Well, we had to shell out for shipping, so you have to pay for our shipping, you have to pay to ship it back, AND there's a $15 restocking fee," I think that's perfectly fair, since it was my mistake in the first place.
    But, "Ha ha! You ordered it, you can't cancel, and you can't return it!" just ain't gonna happen.

    *four years ago*

    Supervisor: There is the list of phones that came to us and went down the line and into disposable category that the previous owners want to get back for reasons we didn't ask. Get and find them.
    Me: I'll be on my way! *takes the list and spends the next few hours sifting through dozens or hundreds of boxes of sorted old phones, followed by sifting through multiple boxes of unsorted phones*

    That was sort of fun. At least it meant I don't have to sort and pack the phones. Let's say that few approached my level of success in finding the missing phones.

    Partially why I chose to work with animals. There's an "honesty" to their body language that makes them more open to reading.
    Not so with people, where you have to work with a devious intellect, that's capable of supressing instinctual responses.
    It's a frustrating process as seemingly straight forward things, such as base desires or needs, even have to be read through each individual's experiences, eccentricities and social background…

    Not gonna let a bird scare me away. If that turkey attacks me, it's going to end up in my oven, even if I'm going to have to club it with a water bottle. Or are there silly laws protecting the turkey?


    No, there are no special laws protecting Turkeys. They are even hunted for food, when in the correct season.


    Not if it attacks you first.


    Turkeys are alright, as long as you don't try to fight them.

    If you do fight one use a big long stick (or preferably a shovel) because if they get in close enough for water bottle wacking it's already over.

    Last night a nigh-insurmountable pile of laundry vanished in a folding frenzy when the kids learned they got $1 per 10 pieces of laundry, meaning 5 pairs of socks was an easy $1. Today Impus Minor accompanied me on a major shopping run (had to get wine and beer, so he couldn't go alone) and insisted on carrying most of the bags home, while Impus Major did his first load of laundry ever. And they're cleaning their rooms and making their beds every day.

    In Chinese cuisine there's a dish where you put prawns into chinese cooking wine, then boil them alive. And you can get that in Singapore. So yeah we do have some cruel practices around. Of course I wouldn't bring anyone there unless they specifically asked to see it.

    I know if I'm not carrying anything or on a light load I could be on my feet the whole day np.

    Though if I were really running 10 km, I would drop my running speed to 4.9 miles/h or lower. I don't think 5.9 miles/h is sustainable for me.

    Anyone down here has marathon experience?

    I cant run for the life of me. Even with training I never get real good at it.

    Walking on the other hand, I'm good at that. I can easily walk a whole day. Last Ingress event, I walked 16 kilometers with no prior training.

    I can paddy paws the whole day if I’m on a light load (<10 lbs). If I’m carrying too much stuff then my left shoulder starts to ache. I think my walking pace is considered slowish, since I'd only go around 2.4- 3 miles per h. Again I'm a city cat so there's not much room for fast trotting in the city. Also small cat, so each stride I don't move as much as you larger homo sapiens.

    As someone who work in an environment where horse-fly bites are pretty part of the course, during summer time. I must say that I find the tone of the article slightly hyperbolic.

    The vast vast amount of bites will be scratchy and annoying, that much is true...
    Though I can't help but wonder if they get infected because people can keep their dirty nails off them, scratch them open and then some bacterial gunk get in them.

    I'm actually slightly "allergic" to most insect bits/stings/etc. (ie bite-wounds tend to swell up quite a bit, get reddish and throb), though I mostly just salve the bites, and try not to scratch (and fail often).

    Edit: Just counted - I have 11 horse-fly bites, mainly on my arms and legs.

    The Exchange

    Some people have allergic reactions to insect bites/other things. I mean who’ve have thought that touching turpentine would cause me to break out in hives?

    True story, btw.

    Besides Woran earlier stated she has an allergic reaction with mosquito bites, so it may indicate a sensitivity to insect bites in general.
