I had a rather good evening out with the rest of the Technology Services crew I work with. We all went to Fast Eddy's pool hall and had a few drinks, played pool for several hours and generally had fun. I sucked badly, but pulled off some rather amusing shots that nobody expected (especially when I normally flub so badly). All in all, good time.
On a downer, I just hate support requests for inane things like screen resolution or font sizes that are marked as "URGENT." For chrimminy folks. Learn the basics of a computer. Put on your damn glasses. The increased desktop real estate actually HELPS you so that you can see more data at once and use it.
On a note that just massively pisses me off.... My girlfriend, who went to go hang with one of her friends from her online game. One who seriously pisses her off in the game, but in RL she is all buddy and fine with. This said friend live all the way out in Hollister or someodd place. She left Sunday Night. Said she would be back on Monday night to play a game with me. Not back Monday Night.... No call, no email, no text message on cell. I leave messages, text messages, for her to get back to me. I know that there is not good cell coverage at her friend's house. So i expect she will be coming back some time during Tuesday since she didn't show up on Monday night. Or at least I expected her to check her phone once a damn day for messages and what not. I call several times to the house(our place) and to her cell during today... full rings and then answering machine (which means on and in her car). I'm at the pool hall and I try again, figuring maybe she might want to join us, or to at least see if she got home or whatnot. No answers again. It is now almost 1AM, now hitting our 3rd day, and no fucking messages from her. No fucking calls. NOT JACK SHIT...
She told me she would be back Monday night... she wasn't. Okay... she is a flake like that. I know that, I live with her. She is lazy and flakey. Fine... Second day? Not happy with this shit... Now leading on to the THIRD DAY? Seriously, flat out, fucking, inconsolably unacceptable. simple as that. It is not acceptable to do this shit. I'm sitting here worried she is a fucking statistic. What is worse is that I have NO OTHER WAY OF REACHING HER. She doesn't leave a house # for me to call. She doesn't give me her friend's cell. I'm not part of her Online Game social circle. None of them have to know about me. To them she is miss single flirts-a-lot. This seriously does not fucking jive though. Last time she was gone for a little over a day longer than expected without calling me back or calling here or whatnot, I told her that she really needs to let us know. I thought I made it very clear. Apparently it either didn't sink into her head, or she really is a statistic. Neither of which is exactly appealing to me.
