Customer was just told he'll have to redo several hours of work because his file crashed. "I don't have time to make copies and backups of things! Make your programs reliable!" I'm afraid I said, "well, unfortunately, you'll now need to take the time to time to recreate the work." I know better than engaging like that, but, damn, dude.

He was quite annoyed that I suggested his predicament might be in any way his fault.

This at least gives me some hope that the public knows who to blame in this shutdown SNAFU, and may do so come the midterm elections: [link]

Because Angelina Jolie ruined her "perfect" marriage with Brad Pitt.

And she's been single and childless since then, which makes her, the LOSER but she's such a NICE GIRL! And bitchy slutty weirdo Jolie got the Man, The Kids, and...not a marriage but damn close to it!

And Ainston is just...alone. And secretly holding her pain as she pines a way for 1) a reunion with Brad, 2) kids, 3) a combo of 1 and 2, 4) a new love who will give her kids and SUPER AWESOME wedding so she can have VINDICATION over Jolie and finally prove she IS better than the skank who ruined her DREAM LIFE.

In my last brief sojourn in support most people were within what I consider normal parameters of confused and upset, and one guy was "I have an audit on Monday and I didn't try logging into your system until Thursday despite the due date for doing so having been three months ago! Why are you escalating my case instead of helping me immediately???"

I felt bad for the person who ended up with the case.

And then I got him again the next day, as my final case.

^^ What askye said. I think she has a surprising amount of that still pushing her rep.

Oh, yeah, America's Sweetheart heartbroken by the exotic beauty who lured Her Man away. Unfortunately, Her Man is ecstatic with the exotic beauty who loves kids as much as he does. So while Brad and Angelina are the poster parents of Celebrity Parenthood, Jennifer looks more and more like "Oh God, I Must Have a Man!"

Is there any point in posting a Snopes link on the FB of a family friend, pointing out that her copy-pasted screed against Obamacare isn't actually factual?

I know the answer is "No", but I had to ask.

I tend to Snopes people like that with a "That's pretty scary stuff. Fortunately, its not completely accurate..." and THEN I Snopes 'em.

My line tends to be, "I see that you are concerned about ____. So you will be relieved to know (summary of Snopes results). For more details, see (link to Snopes page).

Burrell and sj, I am sending out the ~ma for your sister and uncle.

Honestly, at this point I wonder whether she herself actually cares about Having A Man so much as keeping the publicity machine rolling by being who everyone expects her to be.

I also wonder (while knowing damn well that it's none of my business) whether she quietly doesn't actually want any kids at all, ever, and is just making the PR-approved noises because how can you continue to be America's Sweetheart and not want kids? Because, really, there are plenty of either home-grown or adoptive single moms all over Hollywood, and if being a mother was a huge priority for her she would have had no trouble long before now finding either an amiable pretty boy to knock her up or a kidlet in need of adoption. But even now, even today, when I try to imagine Jennifer Aniston or any other American Sweetheart shrugging and saying, "Nope, I like my life exactly as it is and I just don't want children," the only public reaction I can imagine is an obnoxious scolding shaming shitstorm of epic proportions.

(And, probably, a lot of women quietly thinking, "Thank God it's not just me... I really hope I didn't say that in my outside voice.")
