    Grrrr....

    I've been all over town looking for a simple bracket I need to secure the speakers I'm taking to work tomorrow, and every hardware store I've been to has no idea what I'm talking about...until I drawl them a picture...at which point, they say, "Oooooooooooh! I know what it is now...ummmmmm, if we had anything like that, it would be on aisle XYZ."
    So I go to the aisle in question, only to find something that kind of *looks* similar, but would never work in the application that I need it for. :bang:

    The really irritating thing is, I used them often at my old job, so I know they exist!

    I was really confused until I figured out Kitrax meant "aisle" ...it sounded you had to take a plane in search of elusive hardware. :p

    Hey Kit, was it you who posted that photo of the number of cables connecting (internetically) Australia to the rest of the world? If so, is there anyway you could post it again? I am trying to find it to explain something to someone.

    I did mental health nursing for a year but had to quit as I (ironically) had a nervous breakdown :lol: ah well, if you can't laugh at a serious mental health problem, what can you laugh at?

    You'll do fine with your results, it Middlesbrough, we're all barbarians who eat with our fingers and can't read, you'll ace the class!

    My wife just made a German Choclate cake with holes punched into it and poured in the Caramel. Then drizzled more caramel on top... Time to bust out the hole-punch, hopefully there's room left for one more on the belt! :rolleyes:

    Just make sure you have insulin on hand...just in case you go into diabetic shock! :p

    In other news...I just found out I get 2 days off that won't count towards my vacation account because my boss has a shred of decency. :D I have to switch to the day shift for a week of EMT training, and they were going to make me work Sunday 1am-7am...and then expect me to work 9 hours on Monday starting at 8am. That would have been fun... :skeptic:

    I absolutely destroyed the store record for the most customers for two days straight. No, I didn't destroy it, I raped it until it begged for it's mother. 1378 customers in 17 hours... you do the math.

    I rolled myself a huge ecological cigarette upon arriving at home both evenings. Talk about relaxing after a [expletive] day.

    I hate my boss's boss. Get a pack of batteries, already.
