Also, too many of my internet orders came in today. Will have to pick and choose which to carry to my car in the parking garage or make two trips.

I guess I can create some arm straps from packing tape from the mail room. Will probably have to shoulder/back strap the long one.

Long box on table are new shocks for car. One box under chair is an eastwood fender roller. Other box has new suspension bushings. First box on chair contains poop bags for my dog (god damn poop factory), final box above that is full of bath products like shampoo and soaps.

The receptionist says I have an internet shopping problem.

Excel keeps giving me the Inconsistent Formula "error." No, it has to be that way!

my old company's HR department refuses to respond to my emails or return my phone calls (I get insta-transferred to voicemail by the receptionist) about offboarding questions.

is it really so much to ask to know: a) how long my medical coverage is good for in case anything happens in my week and a half gap between jobs, and b) who I need to talk with to roll over my 401K?

a) Medical coverage is usually dead the day after you're gone. Usually.
b) To rollover your 401k, talk to your 401k company (Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, etc...). HR can't help with that kind of stuff. Like... ever. They are retarded. They will just forward you to what I told you.

Heh, she does have the ring of power.

:sneaky:

:biggrin:

I was kidding to begin with a little bit, I found that before she went out looking to buy some and she came home and said "You're right, that is better" then got it.

Do you have COBRA coverage?

http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq-consumer-cobra.html


COBRA requires continuation coverage to be offered to covered employees, their spouses, former spouses, and dependent children when group health coverage would otherwise be lost due to certain specific events.
The following are qualifying events for covered employees if they cause the covered employee to lose coverage:

Termination of the employee's employment for any reason other than gross misconduct; or

Reduction in the number of hours of employment.

True - forgot about COBRA, but you have to enroll in it, and it costs a shitload since your employer isn't paying for part of it anymore.

Correct me if I'm wrong there...

Unless you are in a bad state: you get free medical from ibama are the moment your take home is south of 133% of poverty

Heard a weird fan noise from the server closet today. Didn't feel like taking my keys out of my pocket & walking the 10 feet to the door...

...so I pulled out my iPhone to check the webcam instead. Feeling dirty for being lazy never felt so good :D

You could remind her of that but it won't end well.:p

Too late ><



I know I have a problem. I like to trade shit. It annoys her but I have traded up multiple times on this car starting with a brake job. Ya I traded a brake job for a car needing an engine. threw in cheap engine traded for a motorcycle. Traded that motorcycle for an expedition that she drove for two years then traded that exp for a harley. Traded harley for a Jeep that I traded in aweek for a 74 Vette. Now I am getting trade offers in the 20k range and she wants me to cash it out. GDI I need my vices or I am gonna lose my shit.


I also made the mistake of mentioning that her fur coat cost more than all my cars have cost me put together.


Cant win bro. Cant win.

the boat is fucking awesome too.
