Xander ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

WTF, MM? Those bastards! I seethe fruitlessly but balefully in their direction. What is the matter with people? Who wouldn't want MM working for them?
And, meara, damn, that sucks.
I may have had something else to say when I started reading this thread, but all the rage on everyone's behalf has driven it from my brain.
That blows MM.
So I just got a letter from the DMV that they turned down the custom plates for my work truck. I had requestion DBLOSND to stand for Diablo Sound. The reason given is that they are offensive or violate good taste. WTF?
No idea. What about ELDIABLO?
The what, now? Did you get a job too fast or something?
Something like that--the first week I would've gotten paid (while they were still sending me "you get NO MONEY" letters), I got a temp job. I quit it two days early. Therefore, they are taking away all the money. Because I *quit* my "last" job, and thus am not eligible. I shouldn't have taken it if it wasn't worth keeping. Or somesuch. I think that's ridiculous and they should take away the two days I could've worked, and not the rest. But apparently not.
And I'm thinking with the new job, I don't have time and energy to dispute it (especially since technically, I WAS wrong, and thus have no "right" to the money. I think they should EAT ME, but....)
The reason given is that they are offensive or violate good taste.
Maybe it's the "BLO"?
Huh. Dunno.
Weird, Drew.
If I hadnt gotten this job, I would be completely broken down about this unemployment thing. As it is, I can vaguely afford to not freak.
Also, talked to a few of my fellow classmates, who were stunned at the "uninvolved" comment, and said they didn't think I was giving that impression at ALL. Whew.
meara, that blows. I'm so sorry.

Was it a form letter? Sometimes the computer will reject certain combinations of letters, like, say BLO. Can you request review by a person?
No, there is no review in person in CA. Most likely it is that the letters BLO turned up in the word. Just really aggravating. You have to explain when you apply what it stands for, but they still reject for all kinds of reasons.
Another reason I love my friends: My non-Buffista friend S. just linked me to this and said I should use it as a voodoo doll.
