  :rant: My internet is only working intermittently. It's been like this for 2 days. I called and complained tonight. Somebody will be out here tomorrow to fix it.  :icon_twisted:

I was driving around a curve, right outside the DMV. Just like most DMV's the parking lot is WAY too small for the number of patrons so often times, people park around the street across from office. I guess that's what the guy in the little grass green Ford Fiesta was doing. This poor guy actually parked on a blind spot on the curb though so he was having a heck of a time getting out... I guess. I was the last car in a line of about 10 or 15 cars driving on the main road around this curve. I guess that's why he picked me to bestow a honk and a finger wave to. Not to appear unfriendly, I returned the favor, 'cept w/a smile. When we get to the intersection, I had the green arrow to turn left and he had a red light and was planning to turn right. As he rolled past me, he decided to give me a pet name and show me his finger again. I threw back my head and very loudly LMAO! What a prick! He was obviously having a bad day. Did you know that Fiestas can squeal tires? I was impressed too. :biggrin:

I didn't knowthey still made Fiestas. If he would have done that to me, I would have yelled ... Get that egg crate off the road you fat bastard LMAO!!!  :biggrin: PIYA, you handle that with much dignity and grace.  :yes:

Whatever :biggrin: I'm not sure about dignity and grace. :biggrin: The smartass in me, rears it's ugly head and I can't help myself. I know he's having a bad day and could have ignored him, but instead I taunted him by showing him that his bad day isn't effecting anyone but him. I like your line though :biggrin: I'll have to remember that for the next time. :biggrin:

Sometimes, you can't help getting mad at people like that. After all, it's not our fault they are having a bad day. I get that crap a lot at my job. People come in,in a bad mood and take it out on me, because they know we can't say anything back.  :rolleyes: I'm super sweet to people like that,and it just makes them madder, that I don't let it get to me.  :icon_twisted:

What is it about IT jobs where people think they can clear off their desks on Friday afternoon and dump it all on yours at the last minute?

I know in my case the Friday afternoon calls are typically follow ups to the daily calls I placed to complain about some quirky bull crap my computer had been pulling all week long. . . :biggrin:

Why do I still get notes from parents that say "Please let my child take cold medicine at noon.  It is in her bag."  Are you kidding me?  You allow your 9 year old to medicate herself and be responsible for handling OTC medicine.   :no:  I can't tell you how many notes we send home with the policy on it.  No OTC unless there is a doctor's note and it has to be given out by the nurse or secretaries.  I swear!  Some people's kids!
Take time to smell the roses.
