    yeah the used transmission I ordered last Wednesday that was supposed to be delivered this Monday went to a very similar but completely incorrect address

    they dropped it off on a guy’s porch without a signature even though it was meant to go to an auto shop

    now they tell me they can’t go get it and deliver it properly until next week

    When an administrative assistant reschedules a meeting that was due to occur in an hour, with no explanation, nobody apologizes for rescheduling, etc. I mean, I get that my calendar is more open than the higher ups the meeting was scheduled with, but my time is valuable too. And it's annoying AF to have planned things around the meeting only to have the meeting go poof.

    You got a whole hour notice, stop complaining.

    Fairly confident this afternoon I will get 10 minutes notice, and then we will play musical rooms because they forget to check the room schedule.

    Happens 2-3 times per week.

    I just scheduled a meeting with our partners in India with the only caveat that it couldn't be after 10PM as I have another call starting then. The invite comes in, 10PM. Sigh...
    I suggest another time which seems to be opened on everyone's schedule, 9:30PM. Not that bad, it's 9AM their time. Nope. Apparently these guys who have no qualms being at work at any time of the night can't do "early" mornings. They get back to me with the compromise of doing it after my first call is over. At 11:30PM to be on the safe side... Sure, that will work real well for me.

    even more annoying.....when I go to bitch at the girlfriend for sticking the empty fucking jar back in the goddamn fridge, she says “there’s plenty enough for your damn sandwich”.... and she was right.

    girl done cut me down right in the middle of a perfectly good rant.

    No. You're still correct to be annoyed. Problem with leaving a 99% empty jar of a mayo in the fridge is when you check your stock before hitting the grocery store you see the jar sitting there so you think you're good to go and don't buy any. Could've had another jar in reserves ready to rock if you hadn't been duped by the jar with a micron of mayo left.

    I used to be like your GF, but it was my wife who trained me proper to just toss the damn thing so she'd make sure and buy more. Besides, nobody wants crusty ancient mayo, which it is by the time you get to the very bottom. It's an egg based product, so blech. Get some fresh stuff, bro. Your GF may have won that battle, but the war is not yet over on this one.

    Power went out in the middle of the night last night. I think the generator kicking in at the sewage pump station woke me. What annoys me is not an outage in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping anyway, but the fact that it upsets me as much as it does. The uncertainty about when the power will be back on I guess. You'd think someone who can camp in the mountains for a month with no electricity, no phone, no nothing could tolerate a brief outage but apparently not.

    Oh, and the PUD "Outage Center" site that tells you that your power is out but nothing else is annoying. And when it says you don't have an outage when you do that's annoying.

    Over zealous bus boys. Head over to Pizza port for dinner and a beer. Finished my beer half way through the pizza. Left my hat there, and asked the group next to me to tell the staff I'm not done if they try to take my plate. Go order another beer. As I come back I see the guy dumping my plate in the trash. He comped the beer and ordered another pizza when I pointed out I wasn't done, but had to wait another 15 min for it. And of course, finished the beer when I'm half done the pizza. Not getting up this time, fuckers.

    I'll say it's cheap. I filled up my car with premium at Costco last week and when the pump stopped I looked up and it was $24. I don't think I've been able to fill up the entire tank for that cheap since the 90s.

    I'm guessing it is a parking lot space issue.

    Highway access. It's Vermont. Local gas magnate is using the environmental courts to delay Costco from opening. Can't handle the increased traffic without additional lanes

    Magnates, plural. And I heard that the Maplethorpe (sorry, Maplefield, inside joke, we wish Vallee would fist himself) outlet in front of Costco was occasionally matching the Costco price during their operating hours. That will make the traffic so much worse. Which he can blame on Costco.

    There's a lot of Butthurt on this one. Vallee and Jolley were allegedly price fixing, in part brought to light by Bernie Sanders. That's a simplification. Enter the existing Costco that built pumps but couldn't use them for about 3 years. Funny how Bernie and a large corporation were on the same side.

    I was going to say, even $18.50 for a pizza would be a pretty reasonable price these days.

    even at GBP that's still cheap.
