I was looking at some messenger bags online, I need anew one for my laptop. There's a pretty red one with chinese characters on it, but I'm afraid to buy it because I don't know what it reads.

It could all, "dumb bitch," or "rancid hotdogs" and I wouldn't know. Hm.

I think it's true about the Wednesday thing, sarameg.

Stupid lack of microwave has caused me to order pad thai. Will eat my chicken fettucine alfredo w/ asparagus, tomato, and green onion for dinner, then.

Poor, poor shrift....wait a minute!

Man, I just turned into a festering ball of frustration. It's sad. Stupid holidays.

My diamond shoes gave me a blister! Woe!

No, your too tight diamond shoes gave you pad thai!

At my first job I encountered resistance, but that was aimed at all the women there, not just in IT. Since I left in 1993, I've been pretty free and clear, at least to my face. Worked with, for, and over a number of women during the whole time.

My big issue with the ticketing sites is that they present you with fare results from a specific search, and then tell you after you click through that they aren't available. What the hell is searching supposed to accomplish?

I bitched at Travelocity because of it--they were sending me low-cost ticket notifications, and presenting me with a range of dates I had to winnow down one by one. After about 10 (look at my near-infinite patience) failed attempts, I had to fire off a bitching email.

Their justification was weak and insufficient.

I'm partial to Orbitz because it will search all NYC area airports at once.

sarameg, my sister! I am so there right now! Come, sit, we shall be cranky and frustrated together.

ita, that's just the sort of thing I encountered with travelocity. Except more I pick my supposed flights and suddenly at the very end, they go whoops! Not available except at $400 more!

Which is just insane.

I have an interview tomorrow. With four people. For a position I'm not nearly technical enough for. Woe.
