I swear to god, if I see one more post - pro OR con - about the Open Source Boob Project, I'm scheduling myself for a double mastectomy.
No, I'm not going to tell you what side of the argument I'm on, because quite frankly, I don't know. And the more I see people hurling invective, the less interested I find myself in thinking about it.
YOU'RE* NOT GOING TO AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. EVER. AND THE MORE YOU ARGUE ABOUT IT, THE WORSE BOTH SIDES LOOK. SHUT UP ALREADY.

...but the stereo is fixed. Again. It turned out to be a loose fuse (one I honestly cannot recall if ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gridlore's boss Tim looked at yesterday or not - he used to do installations when he was younger, so he had a gander when I picked Doug up yesterday). I'll let Doug tell the story this time (quoted from this post):
Ladles and other cooking implements, my wife is not confrontational. She is more likely to back down, negotiate, and accept things than I am.
Today, I was worried that I might be forced to restrain her. She spotted the owner as we walked in, and ripped him a new asshole over the constant problems we have encountered since winning this system. She was loud, forceful, and the owner kept glancing at the other customers in the shop in fear.
I have never been so proud.
They fixed the problems, and we're still working on getting a refund (full or partial) on the installation. When I mentioned this (as Kiri was bringing the car around) the owner protested that he had given us multiple discounts. We were quoted $295 for installation. We paid a bit over $400.
This guy is slimy.
Yes, boys and girls, I had an audience. I was rather maliciously proud of this fact. (I also had the cellphone number for my contact at the radio station, so I sent him a text to let him know Samir was actually on-site today; I hated to suggest he go over there on a weekend, but considering how impossible it has been to buttonhole the owner, I thought it might be his only chance.) |

Finding a random "ZOMGCALLMEKTHXBYE!" comment on a post where I was wondering whether a good friend was going to live or die was NOT how I wanted to start my day.
If you can take the time to click "Post Comment," you can take the time to open your email program and write to someone directly. But if you're going to use LJ as a message system, CHECK THE CONTENT OF THE POST YOU'RE COMMENTING ON FIRST, FOR LOVE OF WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER SACRED.
(I deleted the comment, and I'm NOT calling the person. Zie can find another way to contact me.) |
