Journal jawtheshark's Journal: I'm freakin pissed! 42

Journal by jawtheshark on Wednesday October 29, 2003 @06:23PM

As you all know, I help people with their computer troubles. Hey, I'm not expensive, give me a couple of beer while I'm there then pay me with a case of beer and I let all your computer problems go away. That's the deal, and it works out fine for everyone.

So, yesterday the ex-girlfriend of my brother sends me an SMS to ask if I could take care of her spam problem. Sure, why not? So I agree. She just tell me, "don't make it too late, because I have to get up early in the morning". Sure, no problem, I'll get over when I'm done with dinner.

So, today, my mom makes french fries and contrary to my habits of changing to tshirt 'n shorts for dinner, I just sit down and eat in my suit. After all, I just had to go away immediately after dinner. One moment of inattention, and bang: my best tie is *ruined*. Mayonnaise and ties don't mix. It sucks, I got that tie from spirit00.

About the same time I get an SMS to tell me that I had to come later because my brothers ex is still at the restaurant with her new lover. So, could I come at 21:00 or 21:30... Yeah, sure the damage is already done. Ha, and then, at around 22:00 the actually has the nerve to send me an SMS that I shouldn't come all together because she won't make it.

Can't people keep appointments anymore? Fuck, I spoiled my evening on this. Hey, I'm not saying she can't have a good time with her boyfriend, but don't make appointments if you go on a romantic dinner first. It's not as if you don't know that it could end up somewhere else....

So, I sit here... with a spoiled tie and no beer. Can the evening get any worse?

I'm freakin pissed!

  Hey, least you have one. Instead I had to troll your personal troll. Hey, even your personal troll has a personal troll. =)

      Isn't it a sign of someone thinking that you're important, if they go out of their way to create an account, and follow you around, even hitting their posting cap?
      
      Maybe that's like saying someone should be flattered by a stalker...

  Dunno, I don't think it sucks to have an impersonator. I guess that the novelty will wear off pretty soon for him.
  On the other hand: this tie is irreplacable :-( You know this kind of thing that's called "Sentimental Value". The concept might be new to you, of course ;-)
  Oh, and having your own personal troll means you have reached the ranks of "Slashdot Celebrity"(tm)(c)(r)
  Went out and bought some beer... so at least I have beer now... I just had to pay for it myself.

      You were gone for a little while there. ;)
      You would have not seen the difference. I was at my parents, now I'm lying in my bed. The nearest gas station is at the exit of the village where I live, so instead of just driving the the apartment directly, I just stop there and buy beer. The time-difference would have been max 5 minutes.

      Well, my favourite beer is Bofferding Hausbeier [bofferding.lu] and the odds that you find it in the US are about as good as me finding a girlfriend within the next 10 seconds.
      Actually their commercials (show in the movies) are great. Their slogan is "de seffege secret vun letzebuerg", which is freely translated as "the thirsty secret of luxemburg". I still try to find then in mpg form, but haven't succeeded yet. The furthest away I have seen Bofferding is 100km from here. The furthest I have se

  Seriously though, it sucks, but can't a dry cleaner get the stain out of your tie? Just find a good one. There has to be one around were you live somewhere...right?

  However, I'm going to be nice this time. I already warned her by SMS that she shouldn't try to pull this kind of thing twice on me.
