    My diagnosis is that you're definitely consuming too much fat and sodium. Makes you grouchy, like an old goat. Lighten up on that.

    Poor spreadsheet design annoys me. Use the tabs, people; use formulas. It's not hard. And for fuck's sake, be consistent in your layouts, fonts, colors, etc.

    Concerned about your health and figure? Here’s a great aerobics tune.

    Lyrics:
    Yeah, I'm losing my edge.
    I'm losing my edge.
    The kids are coming up from behind.
    I'm losing my edge.
    I'm losing my edge to the kids from France and from London.
    But I was there.
    I was there in 1968.
    I was there at the first Can show in Cologne.
    I'm losing my edge.
    I'm losing my edge to the kids whose footsteps I hear when they get on the decks.
    I'm losing my edge to the Internet seekers who can tell me every member of every good group from 1962 to 1978.
    I'm losing my edge.
    To all the kids in Tokyo and Berlin.
    I'm losing my edge to the art-school Brooklynites in little jackets and borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties.
    But I'm losing my edge.
    I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
    I was there.
    But I was there.
    I'm losing my edge.
    I'm losing my edge.
    I can hear the footsteps every night on the decks.
    But I was there.
    I was there in 1974 at the first Suicide practices in a loft in New York City.
    I was working on the organ sounds with much patience.
    I was there when Captain Beefheart started up his first band.
    I told him, "Don't do it that way. You'll never make a dime."
    I was there.
    I was the first guy playing Daft Punk to the rock kids.
    I played it at CBGB's.
    Everybody thought I was crazy.
    We all know.
    I was there.
    I was there.
    I've never been wrong.
    I used to work in the record store.
    I had everything before anyone.
    I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan.
    I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes.
    I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.
    But I'm losing my edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent.
    And they're actually really, really nice.
    I'm losing my edge.
    I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagra record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.
    I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.
    I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
    I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.
    I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

    Joy Division, Lower 48, the Association, Sun Ra,

    I mean I get that this design needs that. Just wish there were other designs instead. Mostly because I clearly need something more idiot proof.

    Since we’re talking parks, the local park where I used to live got rid of all their trash cans. Some kind of bid to save money on maintaining the park. There was a dumpster outside of the park where you were supposed to carry your stuff to. Net result, surprise surprise, was that there was garbage all over the park. Strangest thing.
    focus.

    Sounds like most of America. Not enough trash bins for too many lazy slobs.

    He never took that advice.
    But life in the desert in an old airstream trailer does sound appealing.

    SF, Carmel, other rich places in Norcal for starters. SF charges admission to the arboretum in GG Park for out-of-towners for example. It's harder with non gated parks but signs make people unwelcome and if someone complains and calls the cops they can ask for proof of residency.

    On a different annoying subject:
    "You never told me that."
    "I am telling you."

    Why is that never good enough?

    Agh! That’s a variant of “well when were you planning on telling me?!” “Uh.... now? I’m telling you now?”

    And don't send out a spreadsheet that people usually print out without formatting it to print.

    This bears repeating.

    Driving back from Baker today an 18 wheeler rolled a stop sign, so I hit the brakes just in case. Asshat who had been tailgating me in his shiny-as-fuck 3/4T honks. Go.Fuck.Yourself.

    That's the new normal. When you fuck up driving--tailgating for example, honk at the person you fucked up (or in your case the person who is driving safely). If they honk first, honk longer. Let them know that you have the right to fuck them up and that they'd better learn to like it.

    I think this has already been covered, but it bears repeating, because it's annoying as fuck.

    I went up to Hyak for an after work ski yesterday evening, and was one of three cars in the parking lot. As I'm booting up on my bumper, some asshat proceeds to pull in and park right next to me. The oblivious dipshit parked so close that the driver couldn't fully open their door without hitting my open door, and then had the audacity to ask if I would mind closing my side door. I just stared at him and he eventually slithered out of a partially open door instead of electing to park literally anywhere else except 2 feet from me in an empty parking lot.

    I wish I had drained a couple of their tires on my out. Whoever you are dude, eat shit and die.

    Why didn't you say something instead of bitching on the internet?

    You are fueling the problem.

    When I ripped open the aneurysm (that I didn't know I had until then) on my abdominal aorta it was because I got all fuckin ragey about some dipshit who parked right next to me in an empty lot so I decided to get in anyways and got stuck halfway in the car. I woulda saved myself a shit ton of trouble by just walking around getting in the passenger side. Something to keep in mind.

    Yeah, cuz a cowardly act of vandalism is so well justified by an inconsiderate park job. Did you tell him to eat shit and die to his face?

    Don't feel too bad about that, when I moved into my home in 1998, Boise had experienced a multiday below zero event while I was gone on vacation back to Wisconsin. I came home to find out my sprinkler system backflow preventer had cracked because I didn't know to have it blown out before winter, needless to say I had a rather sizeable water bill from United Water.

    First time I had experienced a sprinkler system with a home.

    uh, draining someone's tires is still a cowardly act of vandalism, it just isn't one that necessarily causes permanent damage.

    Which is why it ended up being written about in the "Shit That Annoys You" thread, instead of actually happening.

    Anyone with a few functioning brain cells and a bit of common sense should have the ability to interpret the look you gave him correctly: Shit-for-brains, why don't you back out and park your car a few feet over.
