DBZ has longer rants in the bitching thread than I do. I love it.
Starting uni soon. I look like a 20 year old but I'm actually quite a bit older. I'm getting whiplash from all the gorgeous young women walking around, and the school crowd hasn't even arrived to town yet. I feel so out of place. Hopefully I can make the most of it.
Oh yeah, looking at a support job in the IT dept. But it looks like everyone uses Macs, and I hate Macs.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Ani : Perfect !!!
Especially an on-campus job. I worked 2 years as a department assistant and it was great being to be around all the ladies... My friend who got me the job was quite a charactor. He was in his mid 30's but it was hard to tell he was even close to 30. He was picking up all sorts of girls, all the time. I met my wife @ school and lots of other girls before we were dating and some while we were taking a break from dating : )
I'm sure the campus doesn't use all mac's though... I've only had one mac call here at work and I was basically like.. ooooooh... you're using a mac, well... our software is made to run under windows. sorry!
Macs... i hate them too - i had to use them for 2 years on my IT lessons...now i pity every mac user. Only good thing i find in macs is bash shell.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
I can only imagine that Macs are easy to figure out considering they are geared towards the non-tech users who treat computers as appliances. If those folks can get a Mac to work, I'll be able to figure it out.
As far as meeting women, I'll at least get to look at tons of them since the IT help booth is centrally located in the main library/computer usage facility. The thing is, I've pretty much gotten over liking women for their looks. I'm enlightened so I'm more interested in their personality and interests. Guess that comes with age or just not being very successful with the hot ones.

Current bitch: AT&fuckingT. Signed up for a phone line with DSL service since Uverse isn't available in my neighborhood and I've heard horror stories about TimeWarner in Austin. Unfortunately it's been a f*cking nightmare getting service from at&t. The installer monkey came out on Tuesday and hooked up the line and it worked ok. A few hours later, no dial tone. I call, the repair won't occur until Friday. There's no problem local to my premises, it's on their side, since there's no service up to the demarc.
So 3 days without service, then I wait around at home all day Friday... and no repair guy shows up. I call their "customer support" line, they see the trouble ticket, and they see no one has made a visit. Nothing they can do to help besides reissue the trouble ticket. No idea when a repair guy can show up. So I get pissed and tell them I want to cancel all services (phone line/DSL/DirecTV). "So sorry, customer service is closed for the day, you'll have to call back tomorrow to cancel services." So I told the guy thanks a lot and to "f*ck off" before hanging up.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

That sucks.... I had to call time warner once and spent an hour humoring this guy who even insisted that I restart my computer to reset my NIC... and he got an attitude when I started asking him why I would do that.
Luckily I have FiOS now even though I haven't gotten around to running a cable to my "office" and my wireless is occasionally flaking out.
Well it pays to get upset I guess. I called AT&T on Saturday to cancel my services. My call was immediately routed to the cancellations department by the automated system whereas usually you have to go through several selections to get a human. The customer support guy apologized, offered me 1/2 off for 6 months of internet service (savings of $105 over 6 months) and a repair tech would be dispatched that day. I warily agreed, and waited for them to mess it up again by not sending a tech. A couple hours later, a tech arrives, explains he normally doesn't do service on Saturdays or in my area, but got the trouble call and made the visit. Half hour later, phone works and internet too, plus now I got the discount for 6 months (I'll have to follow up to make sure they honor that).

On august 1 i have exactly one month of vacation, having nothing to do i thought "Hey! i`ll get a month of xbox live" so i go to stores and they dont sell 1 month worth of live in my country or the 3 months even, only the whole year one and it cost 120 US$ (in the us it cost somewhere between 50$). I try to get it with my credit card on the xbox marketplace and they won`t accept my credit card cause my card is dominican while my account is american, so i create a dominican account but i can`t do that because they dont accept dominican accounts. So i call my aunt and see if she can get me a card and she says "yeah sure, i`ll get it this week", the following week i ask if she bought it and she says "uhmmm... what card?" so after reexplaining everything she says "oh yeah, sure, i`ll get it this week" on thursday that week i ask her if she got it and she says that she`s sick, i ask what`s wrong and she answers that she only goes out on weekends (what does that has to do with being sick...? w/e ill ask her on weekend), so that weekend i ask yet again and she`s like... "oh... today is wekeend? ok NOW i`m sick" wich made meshe`s clearly not going to buy anything because she`s lazy as hell and "too tired from work" wich irks me because if it were me and she needed me i would get up my bed at ANY time and do w/e i have to do for her in a matter of minutes and she knows it, today is august 17 and i don`t think it`s worth it to try anymore, i just wanted to play live on my vacations and instead i get to look at my wall the whole month (it`s white by the way).

Maybe it's your sign that you should spend the time doing something besides playing Xbox during your month off.
I was thinking the same thing though, some companies just make it freaking difficult for you to buy their services. AT&T tried to do that to me, and in the end I saved money for their trouble.

I do what my sig says the other 11 months of the year

Its always good to take a break from changing the world by staring at the wall for a month.
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
I'm surprised that even after more than half a month you say the wall is just white. Surely by now you should be seeing shades and irregularities.

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
I wonder how these bots select people for their messages. They certainly didn't go by alphabetical order.

Wait,...he's not a bot? I always had friends who send me ads unknowingly because they're stupid enough to type their usernames/passwords into insecure websites. This is the first I've seen someone advertise like this willingly.Right. Now go kick his Ecuador ass.
You got immobilized or something in your previous bitch, right Cal? You moving again?

I spent a month and a half in a (7) cast(s). A month and a half in a walking boot on crutches.
And as of a week ago I have started rehab and Physical therapy and can almost walk again =D.
It'll be another 3-6 months before the fibula heals, but I should regain my ankle in a few weeks. My knee in a couple more weeks after that.
I may be able to ride my bike (finally) in a month or so.
So I'm kind of still busted. but recovering. If I have to walk from my office to the lab I have to wear das damn boot. If I get to spend all day in the same building I can walk normally, though painfully and with significant limp.
The PT is amazing. I've literally watched my calf muscle grow every day I've been allowed to walk.
I'm almost a whole boy again!
Once I can run and kick again next year, Equador here I come!
