HereForTheBeer: Credit card company decided - for my <insert air quotes> convenience, I guess - to change the card number. Uuhhh, that's not really convenient at all. Just looking at the last couple statements and I see several places I need to contact to change the billing info; sure hope I can remember the login info for all of those places. Gonna take a while to memorize the new number so that oughta make for some "fun" transactions until I get the old number out of my head.

At the same time, our personal email account decided to stop sending email; receives fine but no send. Two different PCs, two different mail programs. Webmail sorta works except that the mails get wiped from the server once read, even though I set the options in both Opera and Thunderbird to keep the emails on the server. Tried using the ISPs help form after going through all of their online troubleshooting steps and they give me a generic "go to this page and try the things listed there" reply. Thanks. If you READ my trouble ticket you'd see I did all that shit, and then some. And since you replied via email and I stupidly checked it using Opera, I now can't view and reply to your message using webmail - since it got yanked from the server.

Screw it. Gonna finally put some use to the personal website we're paying for that sits empty (2-for-1 deal with my business site) and create some addresses there. Fortunately those emails DO stay on the server until I trash 'em.

Ever wonder why modern-day conveniences really aren't?

Amateur-tip: don't play either Carmageddon game the night before your test.
pfft, everybody knows Carmageddon is a reliable Driving school simulator...

Sit in the car, buckle-up, look around for a bit, and then turn to the test monitor and ask, "Uummm, where's the joystick?"

Fun way to break the ice - let the instructor know they have nothing to worry about since you had a few drinks beforehand. From there, casually talk about your day, making sure to mention that the dead prostitutes in the trunk are fully concealed by the bricks of cocaine, and that said knowledge can be "your little secret" with them. If they start to protest, tell them that as soon as they're good enough to give you a passing grade, you intend to find a quiet place in the country to dispose of the whole mess. They'll love it.

No offense Soccorro, but if you are on attempt #7 I don't know if I want you driving. :D The owner of this truck only needed 4.

Seven tests. You guys must have a really hard test. Besides the written test, I had to take one left turn to get out of the parking lot, three right hand turns on local roads, a left into the parking lot, and park in a normal parking spot to get mine...and I am not making that up. No parallel parking involved or I would have easily failed.

We are not allowed to talk during the test.
