Where in the World is Bob Saget?

Gonna try this.
Maybe even today.

Not amused.

Then act like a lady, and not a diva.

In typical Canadian fashion, the manager apologized, chastised the employee, and let Aretha have her way.

I could smack the manager. If it was a nobody the manager would have likely been ticked for the table wasted on Take Out food.

YAAAY! Finally problems fixed.

after 1 full week, working 16+ hours a day.. including full night runs (as I had to talk with some Indian support guys).. the problem as been found.. and it was a catastrophic chain of events.

But what baffled me, made me facepalm.. then laugh.. then got me ed. Was the error that collapsed the entire software..
It was caused by..

wait for it...




3 BLANK LINES OF TEXT BEFORE THE PHP CODE IN A CONFIGURATION FILE.


that's right.. all the errors.. were caused by 3 lines of empty text in a php config file.
this not only speaks wonders of the support given by the "programmers" of said software.. but they also had to contact one of the creators of the software (aka leader programmer) who found the error IN MERE SECONDS.

We had destroyed, remade, rebuild, restored backups, made backups, moved 10+Gb of data again and again... just for 3 mere blank lines of text.. unbelievable.

So here I am trying to contain my Inner Kirk against the main support guy named "Khan"..

Now get some sleep!

If it's true that there were a lot of empty tables, the employee was being petty in telling her she couldn't sit there, celebrity or not.

But I agree fully that celebrities shouldn't receive special treatment, unless they're paying good money to be treated differently.

I don't think that is petty. It is a full service restaurant not a QS. I can't imagine going to Yak and Yeti take out and going into the full table service and drag my bag in and plastic fork and expect to sit at an open table. Uncouth.

Rant alert:

You've been warned.

So remember how last week I said that I had gone to the dermatoligist to get a mole checked out? Well, the doctor said that it would take a few days to come back with the results. So today I called in and asked if the results were in. I got the most, rude, condescending person on the phone who told me that no they were not in and that I would have tocome back in two weeks for the results. Well, I explained to her that I would be away in two weeks and am unable to come in the office before then, so I'd likethe results before then. Obviously, if it's life threatening, I would make the time to come in before then. She told me that they can't call me with the results, that I have to come in. I told her I will be away for two weeks and do not want to wait four weeks before receiving results. Then she told me that I could call them. Any other time I've had tests done, the office has always called me with the results. So I told her that this was completely ridiculous and hung up. Going to call my doctor and complain because except for him and his nurse, every other person in that office is rude and condescending (including the person I spoke to today who was the worst out of all of them. "Let me explain this to you". Really?), and I know it's my age because my mom has used that office before and never received this kind of treatment. I'm over 18, I manage my own health, therefore, I deserve the same respect as any other patient. It's enough to make me never go back to that office ever again.

Our neighbors have been having band practice out in their workshop all day today. Normally (obviously) I wouldn't mind but if I have to hear "Pour Some Sugar On Me" one more time, I think I will go throw some at them.

Well, sure!!! I hate it when that happens.

I would pick "Let it Go" over "Pour Some Sugar on Me", any day of the week.

Post of the day!
Welcome back.

I would happily skip either one for the wonderful sound of silence.

I was taught and expected to do laundry by age 12. It was on our chore list.

Oh yes, Saturday morning chores! My two brothers, sister, and I had those too. The funny thing is that my father used to take this all way too seriously. Although by profession, he was the financial controller of a supermarket, he set up the "chore board" like he was still a Lt. Commander, back in the Navy. You have to get the picture here:

My father had a large chalkboard in the back hallway. He set it up like a grid. All 4 of us had our names in separate rows under the column headings. My sister and I were assigned "inside chores" (dusting, vaccuuming, ironing), and my brothers had the "outdoor chores" (mowing lawn, sweeping walkways, taking out trash). Then he had a column for time; he'd suggest a range of time (a 2-hour block, for example) for certain chores to be done. But, it doesn't end there:

He wrote everything in military time! I mean, he'd actually write it out the range like this: 0900 hours - 1100 hours. (As a pre-teen kid, I thought that was beyond dorky.) When I was a little older, I kidded with him that if he really wanted to impress us, he should have listed the time in GMT!

Lastly, once we finished the chores, we had to check off that the work was done. (Sometimes, we'd hide the chalk from one another, just to be idiots ) To this day, I'll never have a chalkboard at home!

My kids were never allowed in our bed. One exception, a storm like @brifraz described. A boom so loud that 2 kids came running at once along with 2 golden retrievers, 6 of us in our bed.

When they were scared or ill I'd take them back to their room if they woke me up and stay with them until they fell back asleep and then I returned to my own room. The only exception was when my DH took my DS out of town and then DD and I had girls weekends. They knew they could come get me if necessary but they never wanted to get in because it was never offered. Waking the Mom ma for stupid stuff...well they knew better.

That's pretty much how it went with our 3 kiddos.
Although, one time when our first was sick at around 18 mos. or so (Ithink?), we let her sleep in our bed for 2 nights. When I saw it was lookin' like it was goin' that way again on night 3, I nipped it in the bud right then and there. I ended up sleepin' on her floor that night 'cause she was still not feelin' too good, and to get her used to sleepin' in her own bed again.
After that, except with a few rare occasions similar to the ones you mentioned, it went like you described for y'all.

 

[donaldtoo]

Those are nice actually.

I kinda' thought so.
Definitely my idea of dress shoes, anyway...!

 

[unkadug]

My god! these suits are terribad.. they are nightmare fuel!

reminds me of this gif:

I wonder the same too!

That is truly disturbing.

Not amused.

But I am!

Wow.
Glad it was all finally resolved.
And, on the bright side, it sounds like at least y'all know the first thing to look for next time...!
