What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 265

Had one for today as the school day is OVER. Past tense.

But whatever floats your boat. Sorry I gave enough of a shit to ask.

monster · 11-04-2011, 07:42 PM

Record exists past the end of the school day.

Also sorry you bothered.

So, I had a nice visit with crazynurse today. She was actually fairly perky. I left around 2015 to get home, hopefully get a decent parking spot, and have a snack.

For whatever reason I decided to use the alternate route into my parking lot, which means that I didn't see the upper lot at all ...

Uh, yeah. Wish I had. Because as I drove up the lane looking for a space, I noticed that the entire police department was in the upper parking lot ...

Lights on.

Guns drawn.

Um.

Yeah, why don't I just back up slowly and get the fuck out of dodge.

Which is what I did.

So I went to a nearby convenience store and went to their bathroom, since there was a load of cops and a criminal of some sort between me and mine. I also picked up my snack.

And tuned into the scanner app on my phone to listen to the local police calls ... which all must have been on a tactical channel, and not accessible to the public.

Gave it a good bit of time, then drove home, only to see ANOTHER police car turning into the entrance.

Crap. Drove past. Yep, still all in the parking lot. Drove around the block, and headed for the neighborhood across the big road. Pulled in front of a house and sat listening to the scanner until I heard the words, "transporting male to the correctional facility."

Gave it another couple of minutes, then I went home, before the guy whose house I was parked in front of called the cops on me ... since they were no longer busy in my parking lot, I figured it would be nicer to give them some downtime.

Oh, and in other news ... while I was listening to the scanner, I learned that the nuthouse had some guy run away.

Almost always a good plan.

Same guy, maybe?

He was coming for you...

I was half asleep, so I missed much of the story, but it sounds like the DC police department just switched to coded transmissions on the radio. Reporters are apparently really upset because they can't listen to the scanner any more to see what the cops are doing. They have to rely on the police to tell them when there is a story instead of finding out through the scanner.

wolf · 11-07-2011, 05:41 PM

Awwww. Poor reporters, having to actually work for a story. How sad.

The nuthouse escapee wasn't the problem at my apt. It happened after.

Looking at movie reviews of new releases on Rotten Tomatoes (some obscure and will never even be heard of in my town, let alone shown at the multi-plex) and keeping in mind movies I've never seen but have wanted to and movies I haven't even heard of yet, I realize I can never ever ever in my life, even if I owned Netflix and did nothing but watch movies all day, see every movie I want to see.

HungLikeJesus · 11-10-2011, 08:42 PM

No, but it's a worthy goal.

hey, you can have my share of movie watching time. I don't need it, there's nothing I want to see....

Tried to cash that in but it was non-negotiable.

Damn space/time continuum. Damn you!

I think so too.

I've been meaning to start a thread on quirky and underrated movies (e.g. The Linguini Incident), but haven't gotten to it.

Stoopid computers. Stoopid stoopid stoopid.

When they decide to "upgrade" you to Windows 7 (which I HATE...what's with the old TV show flashback effect of the windows fading in and out when you open something? It's annoying. I plan to have an epilepsy fit so they'll let me go back to XP) which isn't supported by the Dept of E*D*, all my Dept of E*D* software is the f*cked and I have to try to fix it like I'm some grand poobah of freaking programming or something.

I don't like to ask for assistance here...our office I*T* tech is about as friendly as roadkill, and makes you feel really dumb for not knowing how to fix it, and the guy who "upgraded" acted like I was a moron too. Humorless bass turd. (Yes, I know all about rebooting and mouses and stuff, I'm not quite as stoopid as apparently what you are used to, so don't even think that GIGO crap in my face!)

Whew. I feel better.

Not really.

monster · 11-14-2011, 07:54 AM

eczema around my eyes and on my eyelids. it's getting worse and you're not supposed to used steroid cream there, but it itches like fuck and the skin is so sensitive it swells up at the first hint of outbreak
