Nora, I've avoided contacting AT&T because, well, I'm still getting a discount for the university I no longer work for. But I think I'm going to have to do a tech chat, because FUCK THIS. It took me over ten minutes to complete a call to bonny.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ohhh I think I know what happened. We are lizard sitting and I see one of the tanks does not have a lamp. If I broke a bulb that would make me want to cuss and slam things. (I wouldn't, but I understand the urge)

Actually, your description above (slamming closet door, slamming front door, slamming car door, *screaming* "Fuck" the whole time) does not seem like a proportionate response to breaking a light bulb.
But, again, if you (or your sister, or both, whoever it is who lives with this dude) don't have a problem with that kind of behavior, then it's not really an issue.

Yeah, that would wig me out. YWMV

It would take a lot to make me that pissed. Like, I'm having trouble even coming up with a situation. We'll see what happens if I don't get this job!
Nora, just started a chat with AT&T. I'll let you know what happens.

But it really is a pain in the ass to go back to the reptile store to buy another bulb and I think they're expensive.
Still maybe I should ask the other roommates if they think this is unacceptable behavior.

I guess it would depend on the cause. I grew up in more of a "silent treatment" family, so slamming doors and cursing would seem a bit extreme to me, unless there was a major causal factor. Are there bees in the closet? That would produce the reaction above from me. Busted lightbulb, not so much.

Yeah, that sounds pretty disproportionate to me. I mean, a loud "FUCK!" when you do something stupid and/or annoying like break a bulb or spill the dinner you just made all over the floor or whatever? Sure. Maybe slamming the car door extra hard as you get in to go buy a new bulb/supper, because you're frustrated? Sure. Repeatedly doing so while yelling loudly? Kinda creepy.

Nora, a tower is on "limited service," they are in the process of fixing it, no current estimate for when it might be fixed. I'm asking about an account credit.

On the other hand, listen to the boys play Call of Duty and it's nothing but "fuck Fuck FUCK!"
in other lizard news: cricket fight! Do the males spar over the females? I'd never seen (nor heard) such a thing before, they both had their wings all flared up around themselves, were making a chittery racket quite unlike the usual noise, and were hopping and crashing into each other. I wished I had video.
