Thinking that I am exhausted in so many ways. I just might take the remaining year off to relax and enjoy my family and friends.

Yeah. Then you could make it an annual thing and make up a name for it. Lets say.... um.... christmas

Sorry for the sarcasm. I just had to say it.

If you're offended I'll give you $200,000 compensation.

Oh boy, they want me to call another number!!!!
OOOPS...the other number is the number I called to get this genius on the phone

So now he's going to transfer me to the right place...I have great confidence this will work out

Hey it did work!! And somebody answered right away! Now I'm getting somewhere

OOPS...he has to talk to his manager

I have to laugh or I might chew this poor guy a new one! And I did tech support for a few years early in my career! We'd have been fired for some of the crap that qualifies as tech support today!

Enough rant, I'm going to fix my son some dinner while I wait.

OOOPS...scratch the while I wait part....they have to call me back in 10 or 15 minutes

Well, at least I can fix some dinner for us

Taltos, if you can include other conversations into the one call phone one tech support number and ask them a question. Then phone another one and ask them another question. Join them both into the same conversation and you'll have about 10 minutes of comedy while you wait for the real support number to to come through. It beats callcenter music (musak) anyday

Exhaustion is from work and daily life. It feels like I should be the Energizer bunny. But yes...I need to make this Christmas tradition of taking a much needed break to recoup before another wild (but fun) new year. And I don't get offended easily but can I still have the $200,000

Have a good one

Sorry. The offer is only valid if you are legitamitly offended. Maybe next time I offend you you can claim

Well I guess I myself could do with a real break. Sitting on the cough/computer chair all day is hard work. Day time TV is confusing

Oh wait.... that's right I'm not unemployed

Well I hope you do have a relaxing christmas/new year holiday. Imagine a world without holidays

at megamoose's idea *

megamoose, that is good. There was a crew on morning radio in San Diego called the Dawn Patrol that used to do that regularly. They would call up 2 Chinese laundry places and connect them but with no preamble. They would call them at the same time and then connect them as they both answered.

It was usually halarious!!!! Especially when they would call them right back after one eventually hung up on the other.

That's pretty good!! The DJ in San Diego never talked to either one. They would dial both at the same time and connect them. Lot's of arguements about "No..You call me"..."No..you call me, I no call you"...on and on. I think they scouted the businesses and chose the ones with the thickest accents too so they had trouble understanding each other.

Tried to find a link but none to be found now.

SVB · 12-14-2006, 04:13 PM

Yo!!! Aye sweet!!
ACTUALLY
I think Im playing music on boxing day in the BoundforBoston.
And on Tuesday the 19th maybe
And Tuesday 2nd January
And also should be playing in Masons this Monday and some other Monday.
Like its all an open mic type setup but as we all know all the musicians and people in charge of it, sorta get up whenever we like! So if youre home any of those times, pop along to the pub!
Or any friday night in the boundfor when my music is lacking but the drink is flowing

BingoBalls · 12-14-2006, 04:37 PM

No idea on what dates I am hitting the city but I do know I need to return to Dublin on the Jan 1st...still blocked I should add.

**Cricket** · 12-14-2006, 07:08 PM

Coffee pots should be programmed to automatically grind more beans and make a fresh pot of coffee when the pot becomes empty.

Atom · 12-14-2006, 07:10 PM

Excellent idea.

The hopper must be air tight when closed up, and the unit will require a water line from the sink.

pukenerampa · 12-14-2006, 08:03 PM

How will I earn money.

Taltos · 12-15-2006, 08:34 AM

as long as we are building the perfect coffee machine, make it espresso and (even though I can't stand needles) add the IV drip option right into my bloodstream!!!!
