Our 888 number is one digit different than the number for Rooms To Go customer service. Teresa Rivera is tired of my shit and wants to talk with a Spanish speaker so she can properly tell me us about the shitty sofa she purchased. I have given her the correct number to call 4 times now but she has rage induced hearing loss.
We just went to VOIP on Verizon one talk (they suck) and my previous number was owned by a lady named tamika, and she apparently didn't pay bills and loved to party with numerous guys. The texts and voice-mails are less than 6 months ago but still the occasional.

    The day I retired I set an auto reply that said something like "As of EOB today I will be retired.  If you expect me to reply to an email after 10:00 am today, you will be disappointed."  At the 3:00

    I hate the people that ignore it when they have the right of way and try to wave me through first, it just fucks up the system and delays everyone

Someone quite junior wants to explore contracting with us and asked for an informational type interview with me. Sure, I can do a Zoom.

Oh no, she’s so sorry, something urgent, can we reschedule.  Shit happens, it’s COVID, ok.  Oh no, the time she proposed and accepted...there is something she needs to be at.  Can we reschedule the reschedule? 
 

Nope.  Granted, she’s quite cute and I have no doubt men of all ages will do this routine if they’re the ones asking her on a date.  Good chance to learn that in the professional world, people who are trying to get money don’t flake out on people who have money to give. 

Apple's optimized charging has decided that your device will fully charge by 02:00 AM (checked clock, it was 6:00 PM at the time).  Mother fucker, if I wanted my shit charged at 2:00 in the AM I would plug it in when I went to bed.  I plugged it in now because I want my shit fucking charged.

The 2AM optimizer zone  is for the immediate charging and Uncharging of iPhones only.  There is no charging in the 6PM zone

This is intriguing to me.  So your iPhone, if you plug it in to a charger at 6pm, won't start charging until 2am?

These voice mails need to be posted verbatim in a separate thread.

 

why does every power strip, every electronic device, have a goddamn led light that has to be lit up? My bedroom looks like fucking christmas. Even the fucking ceiling fan has a little red light that never turns off.

They look like lights...

 

but they're actually cameras.

Masks have become the new cigarette butts; shitty-ass people littering the landscape with them....errrwhere.

It says it will complete the charging process by 2am.

I wish I could but they aren't VM. She called 6 times over 2 days, within minutes of being told to dial a 6 instead of a 3. She has a very thick accent  that is hard for my old ears to figure out and of course she is screaming. She hasn't called for a couple days now and I'm hoping she found peace.

Look Betty, don't start up with your optimizer zone shit again. There's just no charging in the 6PM zone

My phone charging stand has one as well.  I took 2 pieces of blue painters tape and covered it up.  You can faintly see the light now (thats how you know it is charging). 

I don't mind LED indicators but they make them shits way too bright. I could read by the light from my wireless charger on the bedstand.

Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

I've had my number for 8 years, and I still get calls for the deadbeat bitch that (evidently) owes everyone money.  I like to fuck with them when they call...

Years ago I had some asshole calling my cellphone repeatedly leaving urgent voicemails for someone else.  Shit about project deadlines and what not.

  I actually called him back after the first voicemail to tell him he was calling the wrong number and he nonchalantly blew me off.  Motherfucker did it at least three more times.

It charges it to 80% immediately and then slow charges it to 100%. It’s supposed to be better for the battery. This only for overnight charges. If you randomly charge it in the middle of the day it will fully charge.

Mrs T’Boo is out of town and I need to run by the store since we are out of eggs.
It’s a beautiful day and won’t be over 70 but I guarantee if I tried to leave the kids(8&5) in the truck for 10 minutes, Karen would call the cops.
I can recall sitting in a car in the middle of summer with the windows down for at least an hour while Mom did the grocery shopping with no issues.

It's 2021, we shouldn't have to work at cracking pistachios anymore. 

is there anything easier to lose than the usb dongles to cordless mice?

got a bunch of these random battery-powered devices around the house where the battery compartment is secured with a fastener in addition to the standard snap lock thing.  its like wtf this is a just a wall clock why do i need to undo a tiny little screw to get access to the fucking battery

“Love locks” that people leave on bridges and towers and shit. Your relationship and your partner and you are not special or eternal. All you have done is make someplace that looked fine look worse thanks to your stupid and vapid self absorption. Some municipal worker is going to come with bolt cutters and throw your shitty lock into a can with all the others. They’ll be sold for scrap, melted down, and turned into something else. Actually an apt metaphor for you and your relationship.

Limp McDonalds fries.

I know current science will only keep the fries crisp for 5-7 minutes, but it's the lunch hour with a line of cars in front and behind me. Fries should be coming fresh out of the fryer. Why the hell am I getting soggy limp fries?!?!

 

FWIW, here's a good podcast on efforts to make fries stay crisp for 30 minutes.

Here’s an even better podcast on why fries have been terrible since the 1990s.  TL/DL summary is that the misguided war on fat means that they’re fried in vegetable oil instead of lard now. 
Free the fry!

nice thing about being nearsighted is that a lot of those small point sources just disappear without my glasses or contacts. 

you could read by the bright as fuck blue light on my anker charger block tho.  had to cut a hole in the back of the night stand to run the power cord so i could put that fucker in a drawer.
