tkdguy Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Re: The cranky thread I have to admit to being a Top Shot fan as well. I think the History Channel was showing Dogfights the other day in the morning. The West Coast schedule on Wednesday includes Weird Weapons: The Axis and Weird Warfare at night, Ancients Behaving Badly during the day.

"Don't let them do or install anything" isn't really a valid IT security strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdguy Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Still suffering from a head cold, and I can't call in sick. I can always leave a message, but there won't be anyone to take my place on short notice. I just hope I don't have a bad night, or I'm going to be a demon tomorrow.

Every time I try' date=' they're playing something about "ancient aliens" or another reality show. [/quote'] How about both at once: an "Ancient Astronauts" reality show! Buzz Aldrin can host....

On an unrelated note ... I feel an overwhelming desire to break something. I have no idea why, but I have just felt incredibly angry and pissy all day long, and really want to engage in some Hulk Smash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbor Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Called at 2:30AM because of a production issue. I joined the conference call to find that the problem is being worked and there is nothing I can do to help. But I am with the vendor and we need a representative on the call so I'm just listening and waiting...and writing here to complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Onassiss Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Re: The cranky thread So today I learned that "powder actuated fastening tools" like this one... ...will give you a nasty case of tinnitus.

tkdguy Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Re: The cranky thread My sympathies. I've been suffering from tinnitus for years, and I think it's getting worse.

CrosshairCollie Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Something was f'd up with my blood flow today ... dunno if it was needles out of place or what, but my machine wouldn't run very long without getting an error message, and there wasn't enough blood flow to get a good cleaning. So, they tried to rejigger the needle a few times during the course of the morning (ow ow OW ow), then eventually I was given the option of getting re-stuck, or coming back tomorrow to make up for the two hours or so I didn't get today. My access area hurt so much, I opted for going back tomorrow. So, yeah. Arm, pain, doing it all again ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Re: The cranky thread Blech. Have you considered peritoneal dialysis? If that's what I think it is, I'm not sure I could deal with having two tubes sticking out of a hole in my chest. Just ... creeps me out. Not in the 'ew, spider' kind of creeps me out, but in the full fledged 'jump on a chair, point, scream, and shriek OMFG IT'S A SPIDER IT'S GONNA KILL ME' kind of creeps me out. And really, this is the first time I've had a problem like this ... it's been pretty smooth for the last few months. It was just ... today.

I think the word you're looking for there is "horror". ^^ But yeah, it's not for everyone, though over here it's recommended for younger people and those with an active lifestyle. I heard of a patient that was very outdoorsy -- hunting, trekking and so forth -- that had this setup. He lived to die of old age, twenty years (i think) after the installing procedure.
