Manny In England Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 ^ I know what you mean and things don't really improve as you get older I'm getting scarily close to 16 and there are still plenty of people like that around, it's just something to live with. Hopefully when education becomes optional the majority will be elsewhere.
terrancew_hod Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I upgraded the DSL at my place hoping to actually get the faster speed and got offered a faster modem to work with it. The package arrived Thursday and my roommate opened it, only to find only a crossover cable. Â Um, where is the modem? Â So I had to call them yet again and ask them to kindly send the modem that I'm supposed to get. Before asking them to send the modem they wanted me to go through some PC setup questions... I had to tell them to stop reading the script since the major item needed for DSL connectivity is missing! Â Terry
cfc Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 ^Terry, I feel your pain. I switched to Verizon DSL service in late '06 because a lightning storm cooked my old dial-up modem. Well, things were fine until the next big lightning storm knocked out my DSL service. Â I spent over 90 minutes on the phone with some guy from Bombay or New Delhi doing a bunch of troubleshooting stuff, only to be told that there were "internal switches" in my computer that needed to be tripped, to which one of my techie friends at the office said (in somewhat harsher terms), "Stuff and nonsense! Folderol and poppycock!" After trying a new Ethernet card, my buddy determined that the modem had been "fried." Â So, back to yet another guy in India, who actually managed to get my service running again (via the old modem's USB port) and sent me a new modem free of charge. All is well again (until the next big thunderstorm, at least). Â So, I guess it all depends on which guy you talk to in Bombay or New Delhi.
Coasterlvr_nc Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Okay, I'll start my 7th grade immaturity rant:Â Today in Art class, we were doing this project where we took a plant/animal and drew a design for the project. Ms. Fan had some National Geographic magazines out so we can look for some ideas. But knowing my idiotic class, they didn't use the magazines for that. Â The group next to me was all crowded around a NG magazine, turned to one of those articles on African cultures or whatever. On some of the pages, there were people who weren't fully dressed, so whenever any of them saw a person like that, they would burst out laughing. Then they would get other people, scream in laughter, and just be total idiots. And I was just standing there looking at a picture of a fish in my magazine. Â In all: 7th grade guys can be total pervs and morons. End of rant. Â Sadly, there are people at my school 18 years old that still do that kinda thing, its really immature and annoying! unfortunately your going to have to get used to it, itll continue to happen no matter what. Â As for your modem terry, the same thing happened to my neighbor, his house got struck by lightning, so he had to go through the same deal for everything! TV, computer, internet service, phone service, you name it!
cobra_roll06 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Uni's are cruel! My Maths and Physics exams are both on Monday! Studying sucks.
cpfan101 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I am having the hardest time focusing on school since I'm a senior and it's my last semester. I don't do homework, study or anything anymore. Plus my parents are annoying the crap out of me as they don't want me to go too far away for college. Â --David
onewheeled999 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I have to have a paragraph on my Science Fair project, my problem, and a hypothesis by Tuesday. Â I barely even know what I'm doing yet.
shesaidboom Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I had a root canal done in November because my dentist screwed up a filling in that tooth. He had placed the filling too deep and it was sitting on the nerve. I got the root canal done at another dentist, but apparently she screwed it up because the whole side of my face is killing me! When I tap on the tooth it hurts and since the nerves are supposed to be gone that's not supposed to happen. I HATE THIS TOOTH.
spaceace12 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 As I left indy today, I called home and my mom was like, "when you get to Terre Haute, call so you can stop and get us something to eat (us being my mom and sister, not me)". So I call when I get to TH and they said, get a meal from KFC which is on the way home. KFC was closed, go figure, 10pm at night on a sunday. So I call home again and my mom was like, "what is open?" I replied, "Burger King is" She was, "what else." Now After KFC the only restraunt down by where I live is Burger King. She expected me to turn around go back towards town and get them food. So I pull into BK and tell her what is on the menu and wait. They can't decide and say, just come home. I walk in and they were like, you don't have to be snotty, you didn't have to work the game. Well, lets see, I got up at 4:50am, drove an hour, worked 15 hours, drove home and you want me to get you something to eat then complain about me not wanting to go somewhere out of my way. And the money I make helps pay for things like car fixes and household items. Â Anyway, 3 more sites to check, then to bed.
CommanderLock Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Something that has always annoyed me about some students in school are the types who take classes *just* to put them down on their college registration. I'm pretty sure this is the most academically cruel thing I've ever said, but: Quite frankly, if you're more concerned about your Myspace page, your date(s, in some cases), or your half-time job at McDonald's, then why are you even considering taking Advanced courses, Physics 1A, or Spanish 3? Because I don't think you need Euro History AP to be a pimp, I'm sure. Rant is half-over. There are seriously more students concerned about their Facebook page over what they're planning to do once they're out of High School in my HS. I don't have a Myspace, a Facebook, or anything like that because it tends to become the unstable tripod of your social life. In fact, my older cousins don't really use community sites. Hell, 2 of them are in the same college. One of the older ones (who just got out of college) always complains of how he has to remind people "If you want to contact me, don't ask for my Myspace, because I'll never check it." I find it interesting he repeats this at almost every family gathering.
socalMAN123 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 My friend still hasn't given me an answer if he wants to do the TPR meet with me on Saturday! I need to RSVP like tonight, and he still hasn't given me an answer. If he doesn't let me know tonight, I'm just gonnna go to the meet instead of with him for his party. *sigh* I wanna do both, but I made a prior commitment to go to the TPR party. ---Brent
CoasterCrazy88 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 ^ I hope he gives you an answer soon; I hate having to wait until the very last minute! ----Antonio"Hope I see you Saturday!"G.
Guest Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I go to a continuation high school. So I already fail. I also love animals but I'm not a big fan of Donkeys. Wish it was changed to something soft like a Koala.
thunder001 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 My Little Rant. Â Being stuck in Brisbane while my home town is in the worst flood trouble it has had in the last 10 years. Â I was only out there over x-mas to wire up the new shed at my parents house, now to find that they have about a dozen fridges from people who have needed to evacuate their houses. I guess I should look at the bright side, my work is going to be put to really good use. Â If interested google "Charleville Floods Australia" for all the pictures of the weeks floods....and the worst part is that the main peak of water is not due for the next 24-48 hours. Â "Keeping fingers crossed"
Manny In England Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 My Second Drama Exam is all about the Columbine Massacre. I'm finding having to act scenes related to it really creepy. They could have picked a better topic.
christianscoasters Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Whatever happened to the A*Teens? I miss those guys so much!
terrancew_hod Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 [rant]^If there is a god, they're all working at McDonalds on bathroom detail. Â Those kids were wretched and one of the reasons music lacks originality and is so horrible. Did those boys ever sing? Looked like generic eye candy for Tiger Beat. Â What ever happened to recording artists that didn't sound like they got signed through a group audition? Â [/rant] Â Terry
christianscoasters Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 ^I like their style of music more. And they didn't have the most amazing voices, and yes, those guys never sang. And they probably are working at McDonald's
Chrissie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I hate family fueds!! Â Why can't everyone just get along? Â We can't win with my godmother (Mums cousin) and her family. Everything we do is wrong and they can never see anything from anyone elses point of view!! Her husband died and he was the only one who kept in touch with us and today at his funeral most of them snubbed us. Its the most petty fall out ever!!!!
Kingbooba Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I hate being sick. I've got a sinus infection that I can't get rid of!!
ConleyKE Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I just found out that we might possibly have to move to Buffalo, NY for my dad's new job. Â - Kevin "Anything > Buffalo" Conley
Manny In England Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I disagree with the title, Quantum Of Solace and everything it stands for.
cobra_roll06 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Start back Uni tomorrow. Need to get used to getting up early again!
Yankee cannonball Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 a few of my friends (were my best friends) decided i'm gay. then I said i'm not and they kept going "Just accept the truth, Alex" like they know more about me than I do. at least I know they don't think i'm wimpy. i said i'd beat the sh1t out of them ( !) and they ran like hell.
