RRRRRRRRRAGH!

So incensed am I, so replete with rage, that even tea cannot slake my thirst.  I thirst for BLOOD now.

This won’t stop me from making tea, though.  I need something warm to hold.

 

 

It started today when I got to work.  I managed to get my alarms to work, and got to work on time.   As it turned out, I was working yet another double shift.  Not surprising, since the normal laundry person is out on vacation for the next three days.  I began with housekeeping.

As a hotel worker there are things that make me understandably paranoid.  Bugs, super-germs, incredibly large dogs, spiders…okay, so that one’s just me.  But I found something in one of those rooms that eclipses all of these.

I’d rather not say what it was.  Suffice it to say that my next line was “…Murphy’s fucking Law.”  The room’s quarantined and I go to do my laundry shift.

I later find out that there’s only one shot for me to get this new, shiny phone activated.  I exchange a cut-out early for the day with an EVEN LONGER shift for tomorrow.  I want this phone on already.

-TIMESKIP-

 

The Verizon store is quick and efficient, and the computer activates the account right away.  Data, internet, and voice.  On my new, shiny phone!

…but there’s a problem.

A BIG one.

-TIMESKIP-

It’s an hour later, and for some reason we can’t get incoming calls. Or outgoing.  The data works, but that’s all.  The store minders direct us to call the experts at tech support.

-TIMESKIP-

Still nothing.  I’ve gone from barely functional backup phone to no phone.  BF’s getting irritated and so am I.  The difference is he’s getting irritated at me, while I’m irritated at the vendor who sold me this phone and Tech Support for being no fucking support at all.

-ANOTHER FUCKING TIMESKIP-

Two hours later, and both my prospective phone and my BF’s phone are red-barring.  Even after two hours on with tech support, and several false starts, nothing.

In the end, he brings in his old phone and transfers my number to it.

After that, he gives me a lecture about my choice of brand, among other things.

 

Suffice it to say, I didn’t feel like dealing with that sort of passive-aggressive bull for the rest of the night.  It was “Home, James” after that.

…now if you’ll excuse me I need to find something to cuddle.  Where’s my moogle plushie…?

Dude... *sends tea your way*

Oh man...That...that...I can't even think of a good negative metaphor to express how much that blows...

You need a pick me up. Let's start with that boner picture and some other art fills (including Sephiroth in a cutesy-wutesy sweater) to try and cheer you up a bit.

And if that don't work then LOOK AT THE CHIBIS, CHIBIS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER!

*accepts the tea*

*adds a possibly excessive amount of cream to her tea*

...BONER! xD

The spoon!

I think you did help me out a bit. I'm not going to hit 100% for a while—even my appetite's gone right now—but now I'm not stuck in Cyan's sad!face mode anymore. XD

We're gonna need a lot more tea...

I'd send you a link to a Tiger and Bunny sub but the one I'm using is the official UK host so I'm trying to find a good anime site that works for the US... Try this one and tell me if it's any good.

Fun fact: Laguna's seiyuu is Kotetsu T. Kaburagi (bad ass dad and goofball) and Tidus' seiyuu does Barnaby Brooks Jr (tasty tsundere)

And, even though it's an old picture, Kain dancing for Exdeath at Club Marilith.

Alas! And Alack! Verily, woe has befallen me once again!

My connection's derpy! Videos aren't loading today at all.

…nor are flash objects. I might need an update.

…or to find something to erase off of my hard drive. I'm running out of mana space. How'd I fill 250 GB in less than a year?

The heavens weep!

[toffeethesnob.livejournal.com]

Aw, dammit!

I'll convert you another day. Provided Schala doesn't get there first.

FFFFFFFFF- 250 GB? This old broad only has 60GB in her and she's still got 9.82 GB free. What the hell have you been feeding that thing?

CEREAL! IT'S FULL OF CEREAL!

…I jest. Some of it is MMO clients.

About 80GB is music. I'm a bit of a music junkie. If you ever want to hear something strange and unusual, I'm your girl.

Approximately fifty percent of the time such a request will lead you into Cocteau Twins territory. The other half is a mystery.

The rest of it? I can't tell. I'm still trying to figure it out but no fancy attempts until I back up this thing. I need to buy a backup drive first.
