The Rant Rave thread

Rave: I received the new Neko Case CD last night. Swoon!

Rant: Really? A 30 minute track of nothing but crickets chirping? Um, okay. At least the rest of the disc is good.

RANT: I woke up this morning to 17(!) emails from my client reaming me out between midnight and 4am. Shes on PST. Thats still really late. Wtfffffff.

WTF does she want from you? Gimme her email address and I'll set her straight!
Every email started with "if you're awake....." OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT AWAKE since I did not respond to your previous 14 emails.



and, of course, RANT: i get up at 7 to work and theres a backend tech problem which prevents me from doing so. And no one is awake to do it. So JUST NOW everything was fixed. So much got getting a headstart on the day.

I've made the mistake of replying to late night/weekend e-mails like that before. It's never worth it.

And that is why I could NEVER work from home. I would sleep until noon.

Should've sent her 14 email screeds demanding she fix it, using same "if you're awake..."

:twisted:

BTW, sounds like she's on more than just PST... (hah)

He's sooooooo jealous of those games.

Yes, in the comments section for the "article" there (which has been totally doctored up since initial version, btw...) I wanted to click on the "Report abuse" button.

But there was none for the article itself.

Darn...

She asked me to check on her this morning and when I went in, she was like yeah she also fainted at her boss's house last night. Dude. Poor baby. Need to call her but my phone is broken.

she needs a doctor...

I still don't understand what role nuts could possibly play in arm wrestling.

Not entirely sure how he accomplished it, but in his great effort to attempt to defeat me in arm wrestling, Mougar somehow managed to give himself a serious groin injury.

For the last time, the "great injury" was caused by sitting down and then trying to get back up.

He must have a mis-formed tendon that runs from his elbow to his.....ughh....let's not think about it. Almost lunch time.

Rant: Mougar needs an easy-lift chair for all subsequent arm-wrestling battles.

Rant: 5 people in my company just got the boot.
