So my dog and I were running the Canada Day 10K race together and part of the course is along an unpaved trail. My dog stopped for a pee on a grassy part at the side of the trail. Like six drops, you know how dogs do that. :rolleyes: When she was done we continued running. Some lady walking the opposite direction goes “YOU’RE NOT GONNA CLEAN UP?!” I was like “…? No. She only pee’d.”
Maybe check before making a bitchy comment, huh? If I walked away from a big steaming pile of crap (which I would NEVER do), sure say something. But there’s no need for unwarranted snarkiness. If I wasn’t in a race and being chip-timed I would have said more because if she DID take a dump I WOULD have picked up. I’m not an asshole. :mad:
Apparently I can no longer wear my hair in a ponytail? I tried this morning for just two hours and now I have a splitting headache. My hair isn’t that long or that heavy.
Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t appear to be quite so accommodating to you (that is, the Private Message feature has no tool for making a private message a public part of your wall.
OTOH, they also don’t prevent you from making a screenshot of the offending message, putting that up on a photo sharing site, and linking to THAT on your page.
I have a mini rant, and maybe more that I’m looking for sympathy. I’m on the board of a group and was trying to tactfully get them to upgrade their logo. The existing logo looks like total shit, so I got a photo and had a volunteer modify it with sort of a pencil sketch look and I like that much better. I asked my fellow board members months ago what they thought of it and they all said they liked it.
NOW one finally admitted to me that they don’t like it and they were just doing the polite lie thing. After it’s been on our website all this time. Don’t fucking lie to me like that, I HATE that! We’re not a kindergarten. We’re a professional organization and adults and should fucking well know how to collaborate and give constructive feedback by now.
So for the commisseration, what do you guys think of these:
[robot]: “To streamline your call, please input your SSN, DOB, and name on the keypad”"
[me]: much button pressing and voice-recognition fumbling. Sits on hold for a real person…
[real person answers]: “Hi! Can you tell me your name, SSN, and DoB?”
[me]: “I already input all of that to your automated thingy. What does your screen say?”
[real person]: “I’m sorry sir, but I need to confirm your blah blah blah for reasons reasons reasons…”
[me]: imagines having insane Joe Pesci 'Do I amuse you?" reaction against the call center…
I hope the first one was the one that you thought looked like shit, because it kind of does. The second one is fine, but it doesn’t really do anything for me, either. What does the organization do? I can tell it’s dog-related, but no more than that.
So, my son’s birthday was yesterday, and I got him a cool telescope. Yay me! Let’s set 'er up and check out the big Full Moon!
Of course the Moon takes what seems like hours to rise above the treeline. Oh look, it’s over an hour past your bedtime already and I finally see the Moon behind some trees. Don’t want to ruin the big Camp Trip tomorrow, so let’s pack up and go to bed, without seeing crapola through the telescope.
Lousy Moon, stupid Rotating Earth, dumbass Bedtime Routine, you all Suck!
Haven’t had it in a ponytail for a while? If I pull my hair into a 'do that I haven’t done in a while the hair gets pulled in an unaccustomed direction, which makes my scalp sore and achy after a while.
Dylann Roof’s tone deaf sister posted an appeal on gofundme because she had to cancel her wedding and honeymoon after her bastard brother murdered people because of their skin color.
Because she’s sorry for their loss but my god what about her honeymoon plans!??@!!@@
Chickadee in the gold-colored Honda, you need parking lessons. I don’t know how I managed to squeeze my car in the tiny space you left me to get into MY parking spot, but I did. Oh, wait, now I see how I had the space. YOU BLOCKED THE FUCKING STAIRS TO THE HOUSE.
Okay, thanks for the feedback (and the other folks), that’s more than I got from my team!
Anyway, yeah the first logo was drawn by someone who works in design which is shocking because it looks like it was drawn by a two year old. The concept is good but we don’t have any artists to do a real logo for us. None of us are talented enough to “work with it”.
The second one I tried to use the same theme (dog with one ear up) from a photo and had a volunteer retouch it to look like a pencil sketch. Then I inserted it between the words so it wouldn’t look so regimented. But I think it still does look too conservative.
Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to replace it with the shitty one. Maybe one day we’ll get a real logo.
My Nana is in town for a visit, yay! And my mother just called me and said I need to pick up some 7UP because she will be coming by tomorrow.
Excuse me what? I know we live together it’s your house too to invite people but there are four giant laundry baskets full of laundry I need to fold because you can’t. I need to mop all the floors, clean the bathroom and dispose of some items to the trash and goodwill.
Oh and just by chance I took tomorrow off instead of Canada day because of work being silly so you planned to let guests into a messy house.
Fuck you. My plans are shot to shit now because I have to clean for unexpected guests.
She’ll get plenty of money, from people who aren’t sorry for their loss. I’m willing to bet that’s what she’s counting on, and why she’s willing to put up with the shit she’ll get from regular people.
