Not so much things I hate, but these are items that more annoy me than anything else…
- Electronic gadgets that I can not read with my sunglasses on iPod and new Razr phone both suffer from this. I realize that the polarized screens make viewing easier in general, especially in sun or at night, but I can’t see either of these screens with my sunglasses on. Go ahead and add most ATM machines to this list as well
- The amount of traffic in the mens room at the office No kidding. It doesn’t matter when I go to the mens room at the office, there is ALWAYS at least 1 but usually 2 people in there. Doesn’t matter what time. Doesn’t matter what day. Doesn’t matter if I sit in there with the WSJ all day. I would never been alone.
- The amount of non-paying work I have This would be things I hate, but I don’t mind the work, so it’s more of an annoyance. But really, I need to start monetizing here pretty quick before this comes true.
- Traffic and the price of gas This is a things I hate, but I’m trying to fill the space. No kidding, the amount of traffic in SoCal goes up with each fuel price increase. You would think that with the cost of regular unleaded hovering around the $3.00/gal ($.80/L) the amount of traffic would decrease. Well, that is not the case. I’m really tired of a 20 mile drive taking 45 minutes. I’m tired of a 55 mile drive taking 2 hours. This is totally out of control.
- Vacu-form Packaging I want to kill the mother f’er that invented this process. You know what stuff I’m talking about right? That hard plastic they use to incase everything from headsets to walkie talkies to remote controls. And you have to have a cutting torch handy to get them open? Yea, that stuff. I’d boycott products sold in that crap if they would only stop selling the cool stuff in that crap!
Ok, that’s my list for now. I’m sure I’ll add to it at some point. Meanwhile…
Anyone up for some BYOMS?
We’ve had a bit of wet spell her in SoCal. This from yesterday’s weather alert page…
.A LARGE MOISTURE LADEN PACIFIC STORM WILL BRING RAIN TO SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE SYSTEM HAS A VERY STRONG JET STREAM ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT WILL PULL IN SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE. WHILE THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL TONIGHT…STEADY RAINFALL OVER THE BURN AREAS COULD PRODUCE MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS THIS AFTERNOON. THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING WHEN HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT.
You know, the fires were over a year ago. How much longer do we have to call them burn areas? And, by now, you people livin’ there should own stock in burlap sacks and dump truck companies anyway. That or be REALLY friendly with your local fire department.
Have you seen this?
More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today.
hmmmm…perhaps my next lappy might have to be a mac book pro. hmmmm.
I knew this would happen. I really thought that Microsoft would have been the one to do it though, as I had mentioned previously. Still, very very very cool. Also neat that the installer will also remove the Windows partion. Best of both worlds here I come!
Hello you mouth breathing piece of crap.
When you go in for a visit to your local convenience store to purchase lottery tickets, that is NOT your opportunity to treat the clerk like your own, personal, lottery ticket dealer. Buy your tickets, move the fuck out of the way and let the patrons that are actually MAKING money for the store purchase their goods.
Thanks
