I don't post in FAWTL, but if I did, it would look something like this:
[flashback]Two years ago:
Smashtag's company: "Hey Smashtag, you're an awesome employee. We want you to go run our satellite store in a different city."
Smashtag: "Super cool! I'ma make it shine! One concern though. The store operations server is in a closet. Literally, a closet."
Company: "Don't worry about it." [/flashback]
Fast forward to last Wednesday:
Smashtag: "Doo-dee-doo, going to work, openin' mah store, gonna sell some stuff and make lots o money! Oh hey, 'database connection lost'. Well, lemme go reboot the server!"
Server: "BBBBLLLLEEEEAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH HHHHOOOOOTTTT!!!!" *poops its bed and dies*
Smashtag: "Oh crap! Well, good thing we were backing up all the data to this OTHER hard drive!"
OTHER Hard Drive: "Tee-hee! I'm blank!"
Smashtag: "Oh crap! Well, good thing we can re-mount the platters and hopefully recover my database from them!"
Ruined Hard Drive: "I'm more warped than Paizo's customer service department!" Seriously, this thing overheated so bad that the entire case had about a 5-degree angle.
Smashtag: *mikedrop, peaceout*

I'm listening to 'Car Talk' while it's still on. *sniffle*
I understand that that long running show is going off the air. I have no excessive love for cars(ever since I discovered that they could not transform at the age of 10), but I do love radio shows, so I am sorry this one is going off the air.

It'll be nice to get this all done with, I'm tired of dealing with it.

That would be fawesome!
But I am worried about the timing. I fly out to Florida first thing Saturday morning and won't be back til the 28th. If things match up schedule-wise, though, it will be awesome to meet up.
Crud. I am going to Otakon around the time you are leaving. I hope that we are able to meet up towards the end of this week though.

Smashtag, I'm sorry you had a horrible day, but that was one of the funniest stories I've read in some time. Welcome, chummer.

The stretch just south of that starting at Carmel and ending in Greater LA (including Big Sur) is a fantastic place. If you see a sign for Jade Cove Beach, it's worth a stop and a climb down the cliff. Natural Nephrite is washed out of the cliff there, and if you are lucky you might find a piece!
Yeah, I'm a shameless rock nerd.
Ah thats a pity. I didn't know if he was continuing on or not

Wow, you'd actually trust three of them. Mine are so poorly balanced or delicate....
I snapped one putting it in a scabbard.

Only when horrible disasters happen. Give me... five minutes.
Ohnoes! Happy Recovery?
So far, everyone I've showed the hard drive to has just burst into laughter, so I'm assuming not so much. :D

Thanks! It was just too amusing to sit on and not share! (Also, horrible week, seeing as I'm still at the store handwriting everything!)

Where in Florida? I'll be in Central Fla for a few days hopefully before the 28th.

You were pretty cool at PaizoCon last year.
