Just wanted to get these off of my chest. That is all.
WaMu.com sucks the donkey ass balls.
I am trying to order brand new checks as I never got checks when I opened the account in May.
I go online, there's an option for order checks.
I select that for the account that I want to order checks for.
It pops up a screen says "We do not have a record of previously ordered checks for you. You need to first order checks to proceed."
Ummm fuckheads, that is what I am trying to do.
So basically, I can't order checks unless I have previously ordered checks...
(btw, this is what I do for a living, so seeing shitty user experience really drives me batty)
Oh, and WaMu is up for sale. Go figure.
There are few things that really set me off:
- when I finally realize/feel that I'm being taken advantaged of because of my good nature
- when someone back stabs me and/or not being direct with me
- animal cruelty or mistreatment of animals
Today, I will talk about item 3.
My neighbor 2 doors down has this Great Dane 6 months old puppy named Amos. He is huge, and probably has his head come up to my chest already at his young age. A shy dog but a nice dog. All of the townhomes in the back row have enclosed yards but with short 4 feet fences. The two non-end units (mine and the one to the right of Amos' townhome) do not have gates on their fence and you can only access the yard from the back door of the house. This means that in order to get out of the yard, you have to have a way inside the house from the yard and exit from the other end of the house.
Last week while I was sick and stayed home for most of the week, I heard Amos barking and whining here and there. He is left out by himself almost everyday. Over the weekend, he was again left out and he saw me and barked. I heard a voice from inside his house saying "Amos, shut up". I just want to go knock on their door and say, you have a fucking puppy and he needs a lot of attention than you are willing to give him.
Today I've been working from home and I hear sad Amos whine here and there. Like, really desperate heart breaking cries of loneliness. I so want to go over and pet him because I can see him from my yard.
Why do people think it's OK to get an animal and not pay attention to it? Especially when the animal is a puppy and you need to get it socialized with people and other dog. This dog is isolated in a tiny ass yard almost 24x7... rain or shine. This makes me angry and sad. :(
I'm getting friend requests left and right on Facebook from random dudes that share no common friends with me. WTF? I mean, at least write a note saying why you wanna be my friend. I'm just gonna DENY them and get my karate chop hands ready.
Why do commercials use people who obviously do not need the product to promote the product? For instance, the Nivia Goodbye Cellulite creme/gel thing had a whole bunch of size negative 5's walking around in short shorts and then it shows one of them applying the creme to her back upper thigh area. Like she needs it. Seriously. That just made me rolled my eyeballs.
I walked into another building that is EXACTLY like my building for a meeting today. However, the location of men's and women's bathrooms are reversed. I almost walked into a room perhaps full of nerd pee pees and violated HR policies. Then when I did go into the right bathroom, 3 out of the 6 toilets were clogged with obscenity. I do not enjoy seeing other people's poo at work. Nope.
I used the handicapped stall instead...
Oh and I did not clog it up.
I didn't realize there are so many porn blogs on Vox. WTF.
I have so much to do to prep myself for the Austin trip:
- Work stuff that never ends
- Workout
- Laundry
- Pack
- Backup my computer in case I break it
- Get cash
- Get my ass to the airport
I need a personal assistant.
Sorry for the boring ass post. Bleh!
Writing to you with tire tracks on me back.
I haven't quite figured out how to balance the amount of meetings that I attend with the amount of work I have to produce for my job. I worked a lot this week and yet I'm still way behind. Stupid meetings. I'm tired of them. I go to so many meetings that when I actually miraculously don't have meetings, I need to catch up and produce stuff. So I end up not reviewing my meeting notes for the meetings I've attended because I'm behind. It goes round and round and round. I have on average 28 - 32 hours of meetings a week. Ridiculous.
Moving at the speed of business, for sure.
When they show man and woman sex on prime time TV, the woman is always wearing a bra. OK, I don't know about anyone else, but normally I'm all nekkid when I'm having sex unless it's some super sexy piece of lingerie. Even with lingerie, it usually does not stay on for more than 30 seconds before it gets peeled off of me. I rather they show both people covered under the blanket with movements. Cuz with the bra, it's just so fake.
