Random Rants 0x52: [Obligatory rant about title]

I mean, you can just replace it if you're worried.

It might still be worth it. How much is a decent power supply, like $80?

If I'm going with a prebuild I'd really rather not have to swap out parts right away. While I initially dismissed it, in the last 24 hours I'm more seriously considering building one myself instead.

and still pay less than if you ordered all the parts separately and custom build it.

The world has become more disgusting. I've just heard my favorite Enya song... used in a cheese commercial.

I had to humiliate a dim-witted ticket collector yesterday, for telling my brother to "get lost", when he couldn't find his ticket fast enough.
I went into full lecture mode and scolded this toad-like creature for showing disrespect to the paying and delayed public.

Didn't enjoy it. I prefer to give people a chance, but such blatant sociopathy cannot go unchallenged.

A manager asked me what was up, and I let her know, she was annoyed took the ogre aside.
I hope orc-lass doesn't get fired, but she indeed could learn some manners.

I knew my workplace was in deep [excrement] I just didn't know quite how deep the [excrement] is

Oh my Celestia are we in deep

 

[JohannaK]

Damn, what is it?

Perhaps TK works with septic tanks?

Perhaps TK works with septic tanks?

Or TK's work suffered an unfortunate accident with a septic tank or sewer pipe....

Whatever it was I feel we can rule out that it was a metaphor.

ACK I can't find my favorite pencil skirt ... it's not in either of my closets (that I can find easily, where I'd usually put it), and it must be buried somewhere. And I need to be leaving in 45 minutes.

I'm on my third outfit this morning. First I tried a midi-skirt and oversized sweater, but I felt I looked too casual/comfortable. Then I went with tights, a mini skirt, and a queen anne-style blouse, but I looked really fat. So then I tried a nicer chenille sweater with this pencil skirt I can't find ... I may have to just use something else, I don't have more time to look. And I haven't done my makeup yet!

WHY TODAY???

Pencil skirts are the best

 

[MaryKB]

When you need to get ready to go out, and your cat jumps up on your chest and aggressively demands loving time, purring extremely loud.

I have two choices: 1) miss my appointment, or 2) displease my master. I'm in a no-win scenario.

It's cute she wants to kiss my face, but not when I just got my makeup set!

A perfect meeting of professional and sexy!

Well, update: I found my skirt, in time before I left, and I totally rocked it and looked amazing.

But the rant comes in ... I can't get the zipper undone! It's just stuck about a centimeter down, and it's not caught on anything or whatever. My hips are much too wide to slide it off my legs, so I figured my only way to get it off (short of destroying it) is to slide it over the top. Working okay until it gets stuck on my boobs ... so suddenly I'm standing there with a skirt pulled inside-out over my head. I eventually managed to squeeze through it, and now it's sitting to wait for Mr KB to take a look at it later (for the life of me I can't figure out why it's not working)

And it's one of my favorite skirts It goes just about right to my knees and literally goes with everything.

 

[Broken_Erika]

It's jammed on something. Zippers like to do that.

 

[Lexicus]

and it's not caught on anything or whatever.

Could it be caught on something on the inside of the skirt so you can't see it from the outside? That's the best I got, that has happened to me before with zippers.

Sometimes if you stick a pencil (a regular one, not a mechanical pencil) into the zipper and rub it on the teeth it'll unstick. (I probably explained the method oddly.) I don't know why it works but I've done it before.

Graphite acts as a lubricant.

 

[Broken_Erika]

Once of the zipper teeth may have entered the zipper pulley thingey on an angle, jamming it.
