Don't use Internet Explorer. It sucks.

So yesterday, I was working at my job as a Help Desk Technician for my university. Come 9:00 AM, I start and I'm the only one in the office.

At 9:45, the calls begin.

Turns out the university's e-mail client (Zimbra...ugh) decided to go down. People have problems, where do they call? Help Desk. Who's at the Help Desk? Me. Who got swamped with calls from people wondering why the hell they couldn't send an e-mail?

30-50 calls within 20 minutes when we usually only get around 2-5 an hour, and that's with two people working. That was pretty much phone hell in that office.

Strawberry jam was worth the extra 60 cents for a 32 ounce jar. Why did I wait 28 years to try it?

You could probably make a pretty dangerous drinking game out of how many times Paula Deen says "butter" over the course of an episode of her TV show.

:lol: If the image is too big then you have to shrink it. Use MS Paint or Photoshop. Or, up the image to Photobucket, that site will let you resize it. If you can't figure it out, PM me a link to the image you wanna use and I'll resize it for you.

There are wonderful possibilities aside from grape and strawberry. :lol:

My last 3 have been mango, blackberry, and cherry. Next up is some homemade blackcurrant. :)

So I went to Gamestop to buy Batman Arkham Asylum today used cause it was $20. They had 2 used copies, but both were plastered with a bunch of disgusting preowned stickers. I can handle one preowned sticker, but each game had like 5 and some other stickers on the back of the game too. So I passed on it deciding I'd check out another gamestop. As I left I thought to myself, did I really not buy a game because the case looked like shit? :lol:

Got a mini TV from my mom to put in my room for two TVs now total, and this one fits comfortably in the cubby hole by my bed...Which means now I can do my retro late-night gaming in bed and unseen to others...Sooo fun! Why didn't I think of this earlier? :mrgreen:
