I won't know for sure until I hear all the possible ways that it might have happened.
MAYBE I TRIPPED ON THE WIRE.
MAYBE MY DOG WAS PULLING ON THE CORDS.
MAYBE A FAMILY MEMBER NEEDED THE OUTLET FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
I'll get back to you on whether or not it's plugged in when I have been given another ten minutes of theoretical information
I was supposed to have an interview with Amazon on the 23rd. On the 20th, they called and said they had to reschedule because of an emergency in the data center and the people that would be interviewing me would be unavailable. This meant I had to reschedule my day off at work, cancel my hotel, and wait. Keep in mind there was a 24 day wait between the phone interview and in person interview anyway.
Tuesday the 24th I e-mail asking when it would be rescheduled, was told I would know by the end of the week.
It's the end of the week, no sounds have been heard.
ALL I WANT IS A NEW FREAKING JOB.
I don't know how many of you live in NJ, but this story about the guy with autism that was paid to do a 'Polar Plunge' off the jetty is blowing up. I heard it on the radio at work, it was in the local press, then I got home and it was on the state news, and now its going to be on Fox w/e network. I just find it sad the mother is using her son as fodder for her own publicity like a big attention whore. She is trying to meet with state senators and talk to Kripsy Kreme Christie over it.
Something about it really got to me, not sure why.
In unrelated news, I walked past the building that torched in NY yesterday. Holy shit that thing is rubble.
i hate you rotten eggheads
The company I work for has a contract with Con Ed to install gas main and services. The first thing that went through my office after we knew the location was "oh shit that wasn't us was it?" It wasn't, but we had a few crews working with them to shut down surrounding mains and plug other services.
Like a beeper timer? It does, but I can't hear it from my room unless everything is dead quiet. I don't set it for boiling water anyway. Usually I'll just note what time it is when I put stuff on and then use my computers clock to get a time differential.
It works fine unless I utterly and completely forget about it entirely. D: (Also, I went with egg, sausage, and bacon on toasted white bread.)
You're all trying to think of cumbersome solutions for some weird reason. The correct solution is to just not forget about it.
