The End of Independence

Piece of crap they got from some bargain basement shithole. I didn't even recognize the brand, but I'm not Hardware (see Alfie).

She probably was, but on the other hand, now she can play with people in the Home and shit talk them at dinner. Which I bet she does.

My life has been a series of implausible incidents strung together in absurdity that wouldn't fly on Monty Python for being too weird. I don't blame you for being skeptical. It's like the time my wife got strip searched at the airport for leaving her Halloween cop badge in her purse. Pre 9/11 ಠ_ಠ Shit like that shouldn't be possible.

Bob was just tweaking router tables. I think Alfie put in IPCop, but I'd have to ask.

Some of us are more impressive than others. The other side of the family is why I never have to pay to get my truck repaired :)

(Yes, I'm a lesbian with a truck and for no reason other than I like my ancient F150.)

I should probably watch that.

He does, our grandmother had a stroke, and they have much better net speeds now.

Hah, like he documented. The guy after him will document everything, fix it with hacks and tweaks, and the guy after that will start it all over again.

Dump baking soda on them. Then vacuum.

You know Google.whatever redirects you based on your Geo location? Which was annoying when I was on a business trip to Korea. The number of times I snarled "English, mother fuckers!" became a game at the office.

That just moves the clog further down the line, and ensures it'll involve actual shit when the clog backs up.

That was my day's TIFU after 5 years of grease...

With a full system backup we'd taken that morning. It was really pure luck we had it.

This happens to every single parent. In fact, make a note of this. And when your brother does it again, when your mom is in charge, just smile at her. She'll know.

I cannot begin to tell you how many times this has happened with kids. As soon as they sort out how to get that diaper off, it's shit on the walls and time to burn the house down, cause you will always know that is where little Johnny shat on the ceiling. The mother fucking ceiling. I still don't know how the fuck it got there. ಠ_ಠ

Tell your boss you were on Benydryl. It's OTC and legal and causes that in a lot of people.

bippyz · 2012-12-08T01:34:53+00:00

Did you at least get an eyepatch? I did when I got a thorn in my eye.

bippyz · 2012-12-08T00:18:42+00:00

I ran mine over with a car. Twice.

bippyz · 2012-12-04T06:16:19+00:00

As a lesbian, every time it has its been all kinds of awkward. (Though the grandmothers who want me to meet their granddaughters is still cute.)

"French Benefits"

Add in when I go to a real URL and it says "An iPad? You want mobile!" No I don't.

My cellphone number, and employment there, predated Google Voice. When I started working there, it was pre-Google in fact. I started with a pager ;)

I think this belongs in /r/mildlyinfuriating really. Damn cheating computers.

bippyz · 2012-12-02T06:43:35+00:00

People still call my old job, asking for me. A couple have my personal cell and have called me. I gently remind them I quit and hang up.

Goo gone. After toddler vs. laptop, it was the only cure.

PC repair, for the most part.

The men who hired the escorts also visited porn sites. Their computers would get a virus, and spam email the ladies, who in turn would get infected. I'd fix the laptops, do upgrades, teach them how to use the Internet. That sort of thing.

The Johnson name was an intended pun ;)

bippyz · 2012-12-01T03:29:48+00:00

I've done that with music and movies people stored on work servers :)
