What grinds my gears is finding that my car was broken into and that my GPS, Multimeter, and some other tools were stolen. The scum looks to have picked the lock on the passenger side.

All told around 900.00$ worth of stuff stolen after what has been one of the worst 13 months of my life. June 3 2013 marked the start of a series of escilating panic attacks that cost me seven jobs, and landed me on suicide watch in late may. These attacks nearly cost me my marriage when therapy was not helping.(Therapy and meds are helping now)

Now when I finally start getting some control back, some wanker has to go and make things harder. This theft is one of the last things I need when I am trying keep my new job which I feel is in jeopardy because I don't know how to track some projects they want me to in my first week, heck I don't know if I will ever be able too.

Well never mind i guess it depends on what system you use but at on a carney game who knows lol.
Nope

A 1 to 1 bet wins you $6 + $6 = 12
A 2 to 1 bet wins you $12 + $6= $18
A 3 to 1 bet wins you $18 + $6 = $24

Then he pulls out his cell phone, raises it up and blocks my view, and starts filming the show. So then, my passive- aggressive nature kicks in, so I grab my daughter, put her on my shoulders, and walk around in front of the guy. Anyway, I have very little idea why somebody would film this, even if it wasn't a cell phone, and it was a bigger act - who actually goes back and would rewatch it? Can't people just enjoy listening to live music?
This is honestly part of the reason (in addition to being an old geezer) that I stopped going to as many live shows. So many knuckleheads holding up a sea of freaking cell phone screens instead of enjoying the show. I can get snapping a few pictures for prosperity, heck I do the same thing. But recording entire songs/sets?

Software licensing.

CRM with software companies, who seemingly can't do a contact name/ email addressing change no matter how much energy you put into having them do such a simple task.

maintenance licensing and contracts.

It being so hot at night, having the windows in my bedroom open, and yet no breeze. WTF. That really GMG. Had both fans going and still was unable to sleep. All I ask is for a small 5km/h breeze. Instead, the night is perfectly still and all that cool air doesn't permeate in through my window. Even having my fan situated right close to the window did nothing to draw in the cool air. Worst sleep of my life and it will RGMMFG if that happens again tonight.

Calgary doesn't do gentle breezes. It's either still air or hurricane force.

I don't miss this at all. Nothing worse than not being able to sleep due to heat.

Central A/C for the win.

Although this situation is only relevant for a couple of weeks out of the year...the rest of the year I find pretty comfortable. Because honestly, this is nothing. Until you've lived through a summer in a humid climate without AC, you truly haven't suffered.

One fan sucking cold air IN, another fan on another window pushing hot air OUT.

Yeah...our rental condo/townhouse isn't great, but it has central AC. Best feature by far.

My parents are bringing my brother and I down to Las Vegas at the end of August for his 21st (I know right, bitching about a free trip to Las Vegas)

We rescheduled our trip after we found out Joe Rogan was doing stand up on August 29th at the Mirage.

Unfortunately, we just found out that the show is cancelled. My brother and I love listening to Joe Rogan and while we will still have an awesome time in Las Vegas, we wont be seeing Joe Rogan

The Brandon Wheat Kings website, specifically the schedule part. (http://www.wheatkings.com/schedule/359/110/10)

They have gray on white writing alternating with gold on gray. It's almost impossible to look at for any length of time or even see what the schedule is. I'd like to find the designer of that and make them stare at it until their eyes bleed.

1. Get a group work email where 6-7 of us are involved.
2. Person A on the list sends auto-response telling everyone they are on vacation.
3. Person B on the list also sends auto-reponse telling everyone they are on vacation.
4. Person A auto-responds back to the Person B auto-response. Everyone else is CCd.
5. Person B auto-responds back to the Person A auto-response. Everyone else is CCd.
4. Person A auto-responds back to the Person B auto-response. Everyone else is CCd.

..... and on and on.

This has been going on for the last 5 minutes and I already have about 60 emails and counting. This is a great way to go insane.

Sounds like a great simple way to piss off your IT group.
