go home, perhaps you will have mail.

I know you will have fun mail turn up tomorrow or Saturday. Does that make you feel 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?

For the same reason a large corporation would 'forget' to send UI text for an editing pass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It made me think of that day, back in 2028, when the Google BetaMobile was released.

What kind of superpowers would Betaman have? The ability to record video in obscure formats?

eta: The ability to talk to shiny fish?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

What kind of superpowers would Betaman have?

The ability to never admit that anything was officially a problem.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.)

Each company uses different data to determine your rates. As sucky as it is, it's not some guy who has an issue with the fact that you had to fight with the insurance company to get them to pay for your repairs. It's a cold, calculated system that is raising your rates. Property casualty actuaries don't have vendettas. Maybe you could talk to an actuary at your new company and they could explain the factors going into your pricing. If you call the company and ask for the personal lines pricing department (and whoever handles your state's auto lines) they might be able to explain it better to you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The ability to talk to shiny fish?

Sort of like The Man From Atlantis, only more specialized?

In fact, they have an entire pet costume department. I particularly draw the Buffistas' attention to Zorro, and Wonder BitchWoman

Oh, my! I totally need that Superman costume for Toto. So. Cute. He'd hate it!
