At least it BETTER BE, or else Miss Janis will get mad about THAT.
Anyway, she starts it off with this complaint from down in the comment section:
...I have a complaint.
About 3 p.m. yesterday we received a call from the management company at the coast. A DOG was barking in our our unit.
The sons are down there and look at at this, age 32 and 39, they allowed a large dog into the unit on their watch.
A pit bull has no privileges there.
The boys just sold the property,
ANYway, if YOU have something that's bugging the bejabbers out of you today, THIS is the place to let everyone know just exactly how angry you are about it. All we ask is that you limit your naughty language to the typographically euphemistic variety, to whit: !&^^%*(!, ~!+%|@#k, and @$$[()!3.
So, what kind of burr do you have under your saddle?
Mine?
I think it's that my butt and legs are still sore from the sudden unexpected workout on Sunday.
I'd say *&%$# about it, but I'm too sore.
Posted by Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 10:07 AMIs this also the chronic complaint department, or only for one-off irritation?
If the former, I have additional IT-related tumbleweeds under my saddle. If the latter, I'm hungry, as I have a doctor's appointment today and can't eat until after the vampires take their tithe.

Whatever makes you feel better.
Well, except for some sort of technological breakthrough, or food.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 10:46 AMTwice today I've been the victim of someone else's passing of the buck. Why the !*@&$^%*# can't people behave like adults and solve their own problems?

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 11:46 AMMy *&^*@# scanner, attached to my gummamint owned 'puter won't work! I've downloaded the latest software, waited days for the IT guy to come around with his superduper administrator password to in stall it, and its a no-go. Using a CD with the same software isn't working either.
I need it to work so I can scan some 30 year old slides from my box of pictures that I brought from home...

Why don't you do a complete clean install of Windows for the entire network and see if that helps? Or turn it off then back on again? Or file a complaint and take the rest of the day off?

I was sitting here innocently eating my tiny piece of baked fish and it had a BONE IN IT! What the *&&^%& good is it to )(*!~ buy *&^&*% fish &^!!@!#++) fillets if they've got *&**^~" BONES in them!?
Stupid fish!
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 12:17 PMI have a big problem with these people's dogs, and them dragging them around. Can't you find someone to look after them while you're gone?
Do you want Cat in an elevator with a pit bull?
Jason is bad about bringing people into the house house who have big dogs.
Even a nice Labrador might find Lucy a tasty morsel.
I think in the interest of etiquette it would be best to not impose on someone like that. And yes, I bet Lucy would be a tasty morsel. Then again, everything's good when you dip it in cornbread batter and deep fry it.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 12:34 PMOpen doors. Why do people assume that an open door means "Hey, let's chat! Anytime!!"
I like to leave my apartment front door open so I can get nice (free) cooling breezes. But whenever some of my neighbors see it open, they immediately wander over and want to just chat about whatever minutiae crosses their minds. Usually the same topics they've discussed over and over and over before.
Even if I'm doing something, or hint over-broadly I need to be doing something, they'll stand around at the door. One neighbor even just walks up and demands I come look at this or that thing he's just found. Grrrrrrr.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 01:15 PMWell, Mike, you need a boxer.
Posted by: Janis Gore at May 1, 2007 01:15 PMOh no--is Mike Tyson homeless again?
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at May 1, 2007 01:34 PMThis particular funny little girl showed up here at Christmas with her dog at about 4 a.m. Leave it to say there was no advance notice.
She is, I think, a leech.
