Sour milk sucks.

Waiting 20 minutes to get off the highway offramp for what the locals tell me is typical weekend traffic is abysmal.  The traffic on the surface streets ... was worse.

Do I ever hate cities.  >_<

I think I gained another level of misanthrope.
I handle other fanfic authors Nanoha-style.  Grit those teeth!  C&C incoming!
Prepare to be befriended!

So what level of misanthrope are you up to now, anyway?

Hard to say.  They keep naming them after me.

I'm impressed and terrified all at once.

You haven't truly experienced the awfulness of Highway 7 until you've driven there in rush hour and had to spend 12 minutes waiting to turn left at a traffic light.
*INTENSE FEAR*
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

My XBOX Live account somehow got hacked. They bought $95 worth of stuff before I caught it the next day. This automatically went to Paypal, who approved it, and debited it from my checking account. Now I have to wait 10 days to get my money back. Rrrrgh.

Edit: NOPE, I LIED, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS TO THE TUNE OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS YAY

Lesson I've learned from seeing time after time of Paypal screwing people over: Never use Paypal for anything if there's an alternative.

It's not even Paypal's fault. I had linked my Paypal account to my Live account the day before. They did everything right.

What Yuth says is true.  I always have my paypal set up so I have to put in my password every time to use funds.  Unless you completely trust a website, I never assumed it was safe to give that kind of access to my paypal account.

Product manager: "Why didn't you do X?"
Me: "I didn't have the parts.  I e-mailed you about this."
PM:  "No you didn't."
Me: *pulls up e-mail, points to screen*
PM: "Oh, well, I get like a thousand e-mails a day.  I don't read 'em.  Why isn't this done yet?"
Me: "...waiting on my boss to approve this."
PM: "Well, I'll tell him to do that right now!"

Which leads to:

Boss: "What's this about?"
Me: "That MTA I sent you last week, with the comprehensive report about needing X, Y, Z, and Z^2-Z^7.  Those are less critical, but until we get X, we're blocked on progressing."
Boss: "...you e-mailed me about this?"
PM: *raises eyebrows*
Me: "...yes.  This morning.  Twice."
Boss: "...oh.  So ... somewhere in my e-mail...."
PM: *starts tapping foot*
Me: "Did you lose the e-mail?"
Boss: "Yes!  So -- send me another one."

urg

Edit: And approval comes through less than a minute after I send the MTA again.  So awesome.

A long standing annoyance has risen into actual hate.

I hate folks who intentionally ignore inconvenient questions.  Especially those that take advantage of being asked 2 or 3 things, to ignore the first question.

"Hey, can you do this important thing?

Also sure, I can do x that you needed."

"Great, moving on with X."

"...I need that important thing to happen."

"And other stuff."

This annoys me now more than simply folks who will stonewall or say no (Which isn't too annoying), but just pretending you didn't say anything. @_@
Well, Goodbye.
