I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

If I only had a brain...

Huh. Every place I've ever worked let you use up the old stationery until the new stuff came in.

Maybe stick blank mailing labels over the old logo on the envelope?

Kalshane, do you get collision insurance coverage? It's probably not worth it if your car is worth, say, less than $3,000.

I bought a GM-certified used car and am still paying for it, so I definitely want the collision coverage. I didn't want to play beater roullette again at this point in my life. I realize having the better car is logically going to raise my rates somewhat, but not 150%.

I'm mostly just annoyed that apparently there's some previously unheard-of report that insurance companies use that says very bad things about me and I have to wait two weeks to find out what those things are. (And said report is getting me declined or forcing me to pay ridiculous amounts of money.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Why on earth would a large institution roll out a meticulously designed (if mock-worthy) new "brand" "image" before making sure that all the departments had all the supplies they needed.

I'll do you one better. Why on earth would a large corporation roll out a meticulously designed new website structure, before user-testing it to see where the bugs are?

Answer: institutions tend to lose brain cells as they gain mass.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why are they all SO LAME?!?

Fucking jokers.

The problem with the old envelopes is they are Manilla, so putting a white label over that is terrible. And the new logo thing is long, not square. Anyway.

Because the code was perfect until the users got their hands on it?

Argh. Urge to kill rising! This new ticket tracking software is most moronic, complicated, non-user-friendly, obtuse POS I have ever worked with! The other techs and I are talking about going back to tracking everything on paper because this program is so utterly worthless.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay. If I have a headache squeezing my brain so hard that I feel the pain all the way down to my neck, I can go home, right?

YES. I volunteer to leave too. You know, in solidarity.
