Technical month of melt downs

[Jennie@ifish]

So I pick up my cell phone, and it isn't charged. I plug it into the car charger. "Charger Connected" it says... then two seconds later, "Not charging". Hmmm.
Broken phone. I call and get a replacement. The replacement doesn't work. Every time I snap on the face plate it turns off.
On phone with ATT waiting, "We appreciate your call, we know your time is valuable. The next customer service rep will assist you in approximately 40 minutes..."
Can I sue for a neck kink?
I cooked dinner, ate dinner, and washed dishes with a large plastic earscoop attached to my ear.
I felt like saying, "Hello, is this Verizon?"
I would have, but they probably would have disconnected me.
Computer crashes early month. Lose total of almost a months data, due to a series of unfunny comedic errors.
New truck, no owners manual. Every time I get in, it says, "Check Gage". OK. What gage?
New truck, today I get in, it says, "Check Engine" and stalls in reverse... twice.
(Thank God Dave at Doherty says he will take care of everything, and make sure everything is running in top order soon as I bring it in. He has been very good to me!!!)
Finally get everything going, do my business, and come home.
54 e mails in the box say,
"JENNIE! HELP!
I get this error:

Can't locate object method "force_lock" via package "UBB::FileHandler" at /www/html/ifish.net/cgi-local/ubb_new_reply.cgi line 342"

So, I get a notice in my e mail that UBB has "fixed" my board, thank you very much, and everything is hunky dory.

OH YEAH?

So I call infopop. "Our office is now closed..."

So I e mail. and e mail. and e mail, and post a post on their board.

It wasn't 30 minutes before they had it fixed, but you know... Some days you just shouldn't get out of bed, and if you do, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING TECHNICAL! It will break, if it can!

:depressed:

All better now! :smile:

Jennie is using a wind up alarm tonight.

Jennie,
Sorry you've had it rough. Must have someting to with solar flares or something. This morning my alarm went off at 4:30 (normal time) but the radio station that normally wakes me is off the air. I woke up to a very soft hissing from the clock-radio at 5:15. Barely made it to work on time. You think space aliens?

First off Jennie, you should have bought a nice Toyota or Nissan. Reliability is the name of their game. No surprises.

You have been caught in the twenty first century twilgt zone. A zone where corporate politics and corporate economics and corporate incompetence make life on the Terra planet almost intollerable.

You do have one legal wheapon of mass destructon to try....the FAX BOMB. Program your computer to continuously send a fax message of your destrought to the commpany of your distain. Research and input as many divisions and departmetns as possible. Include in your cover letter that "this fax will repeat during all business hours until..... or the end of time.

It works. After shutting down your target's fax lines for half a day, you will recieve a very compliant phone call.

Fish die hard. Corprate automotons die easy.

I had one of those days Saturday. Only it wasn't technical, it was fishing. Woke up at 2am instead of 4am, couldn't go back to sleep. Got to my buddies house (on the way to the ramp) only to find his pole is at my house.... Finally get to the ramp to find the parking ticket machine broken. Get our lines in the water and not paying attention, snag on a 5mph bouy within the first 5 minutes losing both our gear, Finally get one of the, if not THE, largest springer of my life on, only to have my buddy miss it with the net twice and finally tie up the dropper and break off the fish.

Talking about wishing I stayed in bed...... I can sympathize.

(Put lead dropper on a slider so the fish can run 'cuz you know that cracker is going to miss him with the net and hang the lead line) [img]graemlins/icon_argue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/berry.gif[/img] :whazzup: [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

It was on a slider. There was still 7' of leader on the other side of the swivel that you can't get to if you snag the dropper in the front of the net........... Thee harder he tried to jab to the fish, the more bend in the pole and the further the fish got from the boat. It was just one of those occasional circus acts that you'd just as soon no one saw, but everyone did....................
