My neighbor's apartment got robbed again. Second time in less than a year. I feel really bad for her. I think she might move out after this one. Sad story.

Instead of bumping a now useless thread with my fail:

Honeymoon resorts are booked, initial flight into Costa Rica and final flight out of Mexico are booked, flight from Costa Rica to Mexico not booked. Going to cost $2040 if we want a flight that won't take 20hrs+ or layovers that are so short that we'll likely miss one of the flights (30 min layovers).

Total flight time is 8.5 hrs and 1 layover with that rate. It'd be about a 2hr flight if anyone flew direct.

I'm exhausted, have to do homework, school later, I'm hungry, I don't even wanna play vidya games (triple triad's out and i'm just staring blankly at the screens not doing shit) and yea. That's it. I feel blah.

I just had a 90 minute phone interview with Amazon for one of their open data center positions.

Based on the questions they asked me, I feel like I don't know a damn thing about IT, holy shit.

Have a hard time believing this. I mean, didn't you post that you were going to Chipolte a day or 2 ago.

i ate like maybe a quarter of the bowl i got. the rest is in the fridge waiting.

the problem is literally that i went too long without pooping. it created an extremely dense turd that my weakened guts can't move. so it's just parked there, creating a traffic jam. fortunately, every hour or two i poop a little bit, so eventually I think i'll pass it, but I'm having my dad bring me some Miralax to help things along.

for a while, though, the pain was so disruptive I couldn't think and since i'm pooping every couple of hours I haven't been getting much rest. interesting side-effect, though: i remember more of my dreams. one of them was noteworthy.

I'm on a Jurassic Park-esque safari tour with pretty much everyone I've ever met (somehow all crammed into one pickup truck with room to spare) and we're nearing the end of the tour. I'm sitting in the bed of the truck, and I've clipped myself and my friends' harnesses to the truck. We're driving along this path between two man-made lakes with long-necked dinosaurs in them. One of them approaches our vehicle rapidly, and as it gets closer I can see that it has a human face with an elephant nose. I yell something about genetic modification, and then it starts talking. It's not particularly coherent, but you can tell it's fucking angry. Then it uses its trunk to pull the truck into the water. Once we hit the bottom, I unclip my tether and the tethers of my friends, but I can tell it's already too late for them. I swim around and find my dog in her bag (she's a small dog) and my friend's dog also in a bag (he's less small but whatever dreams) sitting on the bottom of the lake and swim bath to the path. The dogs are fine, but everyone I know is dead. There are crocodile-jackal-things eating some people on the path between me and the exit, but I dash past them to make it back into the main facility, with the dogs slung over my shoulders in their bags. Inside the main facility, I find everyone in some sort of auditorium, completely unaware that the dinosaurs are killing people. I start trying to evacuate them, and this one bitch with a let-me-speak-to-your-manager haircut starts giving me sass. Across the room, I make eye contact with one of my old classmates who apparently survived and is helping people evacuate. He nods. I tell the woman to ask him because he was there too.

Then I woke up and pooped.

Edit: Dad arrived with the Miralax a couple hours ago. First dose down. Gonna stick to the recommended dose until I can talk to my GI; I've heard it recommended to take a LOT more, but we'll see.

Fucking Atlanta Georgia is full of pussies. Had to have a hard drive replaced on my agency director's laptop. Due to him not keeping good backups, I need to recover data from it before I can send the old drive back to be recycled. Tech tells me it should be no issue to get authorization for it and he'll do that as soon as he's done swapping the drive. 45 minutes later on hold with the call center, someone answers and tells him due to the state of emergency due to the incoming snow, all calls are being held until tomorrow, that no one can give authorization for it, and if i need to hold the drive, he will have to swap back in the old drive and I will have to open a whole new service request.

tl;dr Fuck IBM, Fuck Atlanta. I hope they get 3 feet of snow overnight

[Coren]

Last January in Atlanta. 7 million people have PTSD over this shit.

Yeah, there is simply too much to know.



We don't care if you know all the useful stuff. What about this obscure shit?!

[Elizara]

Melena; I would expect laughing but all this coward attitude in my area is due to what happened LAST year. So we're gun shy.

Things like THIS happened.

My brother is stuck at work for no reason b/c of the gun shy attitude..but anyway I'll leave these here that I posted in my FB last year:




Caption: We need to get a search party together so we can make her stop this snow. Who's in?

I'm pretty sure I'm fucking getting allergies after 36 years of never dealing with them. Last week or so every morning eyes watering, sneezing at least once or twice and congestion. It doesn't feel like being sick at all so thinking of having an allergy test done next week. FUCK.

It's not that bad just slightly annoying, but even if it was my cats no way I'm stopping being a crazy cat lady lol.

Melena already knows once we get a house I'm adopting all the kitties I can take care of.. So at least 5 or 6 more

Got an e-mail from my bank, apparently my debit card number got skimmed and they attempted to run up over $1200 worth of charges. Had to cancel the card, and as I'm going out of town tomorrow for spring break, I have to physically go into a bank branch to pick up a temporary debit card for my trip since I obviously won't be home to retrieve the new card and activate it.

I'm not liable for any of the charges but I'm super fucking aggravated by this shit. The timing could not have been worse. But now that I'm home from class I'm going to file a police report. I was able to find the addresses of all three merchants where these fucks went to use this spoofed card, and I'm hoping the cops will get video footage and find the motherfucker(s) who did it.

Now I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how the hell the info even got out. I'm always wary of gas stations and the fact that they're a regular target for skimmers. So far I'm drawing a blank. Ugh. Fuck these people.
